Rick Springfield's fortune explored

Rick Springfield has been active in the music industry since 1962. Initially, he was a part of the pop band Zoot. In the 1970s, he began his solo career with the song Speak to the Sky. The majority of his fortune comes from his singing career with hits like Jessie's Girl, Don't Talk To Strangers, and Celebrate Youth.

Over the years, he has released a number of chart-hitting songs and albums, some of which include Automatic, Living In Oz, and Beautiful Feelings. The continued sales and streaming revenue from these tracks and albums have contributed to his overall income.

Another part of his fortune comes from the TV series and other projects. He first starred in the TV series Mission: Magic! Due to his growing popularity, he also earned roles in projects like Supernatural, Ricki and the Flash, and Traces. His upcoming project includes a TV series titled It's a Lot, according to IMDb.

Talking about his first paid gig, he said in an interview with The Telegraph:

"By 15, I was in a band in Australia. We played at a kid’s party and got paid the equivalent of £4."

Rick Springfield also shared that he once appeared in an infomercial for a record, which earned him a few tens of thousands of dollars. In another statement during the interview, he revealed that his managers looked after everything when he first shifted to America and tried to mold his image. After parting ways, he struggled on his own, often using loose change to buy cheap meals.

Talking about his investments in terms of property, he told the outlet:

"We’ve done surprisingly well in that respect because California’s pretty crazy up and down with housing prices. But never as investment. It comes with a lot of tax problems in America."

As of now, Rick Springfield lives in his Malibu home, which he purchased in 1996 for $490,000 and is currently valued at around $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
