Rags To Riches
Parton’s story is a true rags to riches tale of a small-town girl who dreamt of becoming a star in the big city. Currently, the singer’s fortune is estimated to be around $500 million.
She continues to earn royalties from the many songs she’s written, and performed, including Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You”. She is considered the wealthiest country-music star.
