Dolly Parton is not the only one working 9 to 5! We've all paid too much for concert tickets over the years, but I had no idea how much money some of these country singers have made over the course of their careers!
While some singers have made it solely based on their album sales and concert tickets, others have ventured off into other business ventures to bolster their net worth. Some have even sold their music catalogues for MAJOR cash. Either way, as my dad always said, "Every penny adds up." Well, for these artists, they've collected trillions of pennies over their careers.
