DOLLY PARTON – EST. $600 MILLION

She’s made a brand of her music and image, achieving steady success since she debuted back in 1956! She is also a multi-instrumentalist, able to play the guitar, banjo, piano, violin, and harmonica—to mention a few. These talents she’s developed and improved over the years shined the brightest through her many hit records, including I Will Always Love You, Jolene, 9 to 5, and Coat of Many Colors. Today, she is a proud recipient of ten Grammy Awards, one of which is the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Dolly also has an acting career to boast about, having starred in titles like Steel Magnolias and Straight Talk. Dolly also received an Emmy nomination back in 1979 for Best Supporting Actress in a Variety Program. The artist also has investments in several causes, particularly in Literacy. Just this year alone, as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, she donated over $1 million to Vanderbilt University to support their research for a cure.
