Dolly Parton – 74

Dolly Parton was born January 19, 1946, in Pittman Center, Tennessee. Her father, Robert Lee Parton Sr., known as “Lee”, worked in the mountains of East Tennessee. Her mother, Avie Lee Caroline, cared for their large family. Her parents have 12 children, and Parton is the fourth of 12 children. Dolly Parton is one of Hollywood’s personalities that everybody talks about. She has become immensely popular not only in the world of country music but also in the entire show business.

She was just 13 when she performed at the Grand Ole Opry and met the actor-musician Johnny Cash. Cash was the one who encouraged her to pursue a music career. Decades later, she became a country music legend and a recipient of 47 Grammy nominations. At 74, her net worth inflated to $600 million! That’s also because of her wise investments in building an income-generating theme park called Dollywood.
