Billy Joel

Only a few artists can brag of having careers as successful as the US’ fourth best-selling solo artist, the Piano Man himself. Billy started out in music at a very young age but didn’t start officially releasing his popular solo albums until the 1970s. Today, about 23 years since he dropped his last solo album, his old tracks are still well-known in most places.

Billy Joel has been singing for over 50 years as a solo artist, and in this time he has sold over 160 million records. He has also won 5 Grammys, gotten multiple honorary doctorates, and amassed many other accolades throughout his career.

Billy Joel Tour 2024 Review

Tour Dates: January 11 - November 9

Billy Joel’s 2024 tour has been running since January 11 and every concert has been a blast. He has been performing with Stevie Nicks and Sting. For the shows with Stevie Nicks, they are the second leg of the duo's ‘Two Icons One Night’ set of shows. This is what fans had to say about the previous concerts.

In a review for Billy’s concert on May 23 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, a fan shared how Billy thrilled the crowd at his first show in the city in about eight years. From his big hits like “Piano Man” and “Vienna” to his latest single, “Turn the Lights Back On”, fans chorused through every song enthusiastically. Aside from his singing, this attendee also appreciated Billy’s on-stage humor where he made self-deprecating jokes and interacted with fans like he was performing in a small pub, not a massive stadium.

In another review of his June 21 concert at Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois, this attendee had all praises for Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks. However, the fan also noted how Billy couldn’t hit high notes like he used to when performing. He also “stumbled through” his performance of “An Innocent Man”. Stevie Nicks also had a similar challenge such that she had to apologize for the hoarseness of her voice, but she let the backup singers handle the tough ends. This reviewer also stated that their joint performance lacked chemistry like fans anticipated.

Billy Joel 2024 Net Worth and Annual Income

According to Hello! Magazine, Billy Joel’s 2024 net worth is $250 million. To reach this amount, the publisher considered the worth of his recently concluded residency, and the value of some luxury properties he owns.

It is important to note that this figure is a rough estimate because calculating a person’s net worth requires a lot of personal data. Billy doesn’t share the bulk of his financial information publicly, so we have to make do with the rough estimate.

We can use public information about Billy Joel’s different tours, shows, and songs to estimate his annual earnings. In 2019, Forbes estimated his annual earnings for the year to be $52 million. In 2020, the pandemic year, Billboard reported that he made only $5.4 million because of the lockdowns across the country. It’s 2024, and Billy Joel just released another track to add to his already successful discography this year, and he is also going on a US tour.

Billy just concluded his Madison Square Garden residency. According to a report published on Billboard, the artist had made up to $200m for the nine years the concerts had been running. On average, that is about $22m annually. On streams, Billboard also reported that in 2020, he made $1.7m from streams, $310k from sales and $986k from publishing.

Considering all these numbers and the success of his 2024 tour so far, we estimate Billy Joel’s 2024 earnings to be about $40m.
