Bruce Springsteen may be the richest blue collar hero on earth. Springsteen, also known as The Boss, concluded his world tour on October 4th with a final show at Shea Stadium in New York. 

The tour which reunited The Boss with the E Street Band brought in a staggering $172.7 million in 2003 from concerts in North America, Europe and Australia. When you add the numbers of the entire tour including dates from last year the gross reaches $221.5 million from a total of 121 concerts. 

Despite sluggish album sales, Springsteen is still one of the biggest concert draws in the world, especially in his home turf of New Jersey where he kicked off the U.S. leg of his tour with an unprecedented 10 night engagement at Giants Stadium which he sold out each night for a payday of $38.8 million.
