Throughout the 1970s, and until the mid-1980s, Steven contributed to the E-Street band as a guitarist, and occasional mandolin player. During his first stint with the E-Street band, Steven contributed on albums such as “Born to Run” (1975), “The River” (1980), and “Born in the U.S.A.” (1984), after which he left the band, and started several projects on his own. However, he rejoined the band in 1999, and participated in creating such albums as “18 Tracks” (1999), “The Rising” (2002), “Magic” (2007), “The Promise” (2010), “Wrecking Ball” (2012), and latest release “High Hopes” (2014), all of which have increased Steven`s net worth.
