The Richest Country Music Star Is Worth Over $1 Billion, Here Are the Net Worths of Country Music's Biggest Stars

Country Music. You either love it or hate it. But did you know that country music is one of the most wealth-generating genres of music? Since the 1960s, Nashville's finest stars have been selling billions of records, buying up mansions with your hard-earned cash. So, from Garth, Dolly, Shania, and Taylor and a few dearly departed golden oldies like Patsy, Loretta, and Johnny… here are the richest country stars.

A new kid on the block from Georgia, Sam Hunt was destined to be a college footballer before moving to Nashville, Tennessee. In Music City, he wrote songs for performers like Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, and Reba McEntire.

Jonathan Ryan Pardi hails from The Golden State of California and started writing music when he was 12. Right after high school, country-lovin' singer-songwriter packed his bags, moved to Nashville, and signed for Capitol Records.

​​Randy Travis arrived, tanked up, on the country music scene in the late 1970s with a rich, baritone voice and a return to the classic country and gospel influences of the genre's roots. Over his prolific career, this honky-tonk Hellraiser landed more than 50 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, with 16 reaching number one.

Patsy Cline transformed country and western music in the 1950s with ballads like "Walkin' After Midnight," "Crazy," and "I Fall to Pieces." Tragically, she perished in a 1963 plane crash at just 30 years old. Since her passing, Patsy has become one of the most influential performers of the 20th century.
