Barbara Mandrell – 73 – $45 Million

Country music singer Barbara Mandrell has a huge net worth of $45 million. She learned to play lap steel and pedal steel guitars and many other instruments, including the saxophone, accordion, and banjo, at a young age. At 13, she performed and toured with Patsy Cline, George Jones, and Johnny Cash and moved to Nashville to forge her own music career.

Through her father’s help, Mandrell signed with Columbia Records in the late 1960s. Over the next couple of years, the musician had a few minor hits and earned a high credit score. A remake of Otis Redding’s I’ve Been Loving You Too Long was one of her early hit songs. Mandrell also became one of the world’s most successful country music female vocalists by the following decade. She was named the first performer to garner the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year award twice.
