Dustin Lynch
Net Worth: $5 million
Venture: Ridin Roads
When Dustin Lynch was at Lipscomb University in Tennessee, he knew it was time to choose between two very different career paths, one being as a country singer and the other was saving lives as a medical professional. Lynch eventually decided to go with his heart and chose to start a professional musical career. The singer-songwriter was found very quickly and signed a label deal with Broken Bow. He released his first EP shortly after and proceeded to release three more albums with the label. Since then, Lynch has had six of his eight singles hit the #1 spot on the charts. We’re not sure if it’s his charm or looks (or both), but this country star seems to have a very promising career ahead of him.
Apparently, going for a luxurious singing career ended up being a lot more profitable for Lynch than a medical career would have been, as it probably would have left him with a whole lot of college debt. His current worth is estimated at roughly $5 million dollars and that’s with a career that’s just only starting to show its potential. His three albums so far were “Dustin Lynch,” “Where It’s At,” and “Current Mood.” His most recent musical venture is an EP entitled “Ridin Roads,” which is shaping up to be another success in a very bright musical future.
Lady A
Net Worth: $41 million
Venture: LadyAID
With over ten million album sales worldwide and multiple Grammy awards, Lady A have managed to make their mark in the Country scene by combining the immense talents of Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott (Linda Davis’ daughter), and Dave Haywood. Despite a humble start supporting other musicians as guest vocalists, the group has managed to garner sufficient popularity and interest to get signed by the Capitol label and release their own music.
The group is reported to be worth an estimated $40 million, mostly generated through six albums that have all received critical acclaim and praise. Three of the group’s albums reached platinum and diamond status, and nine of their singles reached number one in the charts. If you're new to the band we highly recommend checking out two of their most popular songs, "Downtown," and "Need You Now".
Rosanne Cash
Net Worth: $10 million
Venture: Johnny Cash
Boyhood Home Project The Cash family has been in the music industry for quite a long time. Rosanne Cash, the oldest daughter of famous Country singer Johnny Cash, has seen relative fame and success in her musical career. Unlike many singers in our list, she actually found herself crossing a variety of musical genres until settling on the Americana musical audience, which ended up becoming a very successful one for her. Rosanne Cash is best known to date for her 1981 single, “Seven Year Ache,” which she has never really bested in terms of popularity and acclaim.
The singer-songwriter debuted with her album called interiors and has since evolved into various other genres and musical styles. Her most popular song, Seven Year Ache, became #1 in both the Country charts and the pop single charts. With a net worth just shy of $10 million, much of her wealth was the result of the added name recognition she got from her father’s extremely successful career. Still not a bad job though.
Keith Urban
Net Worth: $75 million
Venture: The URBAN Guitar Collection
If there’s one Country singer on this list that truly managed to break through into mainstream appeal, it would definitely be Keith Urban. Beyond being one of the most recognizable names in the music industry, Urban is also known for being the husband of Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman. This platinum-selling singer originally began his musical career as a guitarist for The Ranch but quickly decided to go out there and do his own thing.
The New Zealand-born musician quickly dominated the charts with his debut album due to his amazing looks and insane musical appeal and achieved a very rare feat of receiving platinum status in his very first release. Since then, he has been pumping out best-selling albums without any sign of stopping and has even founded the URBAN Guitar Collection company, which helped boost his net worth to a staggering $75 million. But let’s be honest here, between his musical god status, great looks, immense wealth, his marriage to Nicole Kidman takes the cake for us.
Mac Davis
Net Worth: $12 million
Venture: The Mac Davis Show
Popular retro singer, songwriter, and actor, Morris Mac Davis began his career in the music and entertainment industries as a songwriter for Nancy Sinatra's company, Boots Enterprises. He worked there for several years, contributing greatly to many of Sinatra's recordings. David eventually found his way to writing songs for the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. He was responsible for classics such as "In the Ghetto", "Friend, Lover, Woman, Wife", "Home", "It's Such a Lonely Time of Year", and "Memories."
Following his success as a songwriter, Davis went off on a solo path, pursuing a singing career which ended up becoming a very successful endeavor. He was awarded the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year award in 1974 and proceeded to become an actor that same year. Davis hosted his own TV show on NBC called The Mac Davis Show and from there began to act in various films and TV shows such as North Dallas Forty and Cheaper to Keep Her.
