If Dolly Parton is not there, country music would not be country music; that is what the 76-year old music legend has proven over time. From her illustrious music career to building a multi-million empire, she has also made herself one of music's richest self-made women to date. She's probably the richest one in her family, too.
Dolly Parton Siblings Net Worth
Born in a cabin on the outskirts of Tenessee in 1946, Dolly Rebecca Parton, more widely known as Dolly Parton, was the fourth of the eleven children of Robert Lee Parton Sr. and Avie Lee Caroline.
Seven children, including Dolly, ventured into show business, coming from a musical home. The seven of them have collaborated with Dolly, who emerged as the most successful, but it was his brother Floyd with whom she had primarily collaborated.
According to The Things, Dolly's siblings' net worth varied from one to another.
After Floyd's passing in 2018 due to a mystery illness, his net worth was not revisited nor revealed. However, since he has collaborated chiefly with her sister on most chart-topping hits, it can be presumed that he has millions.
Her sisters, Stella, Willadeene, and Cassie, who entered music, have recorded a gospel album "In The Garden" in their early careers.
While Willadeen's career faded after the album, she is now a thriving author with a net worth of around a hundred thousand to a few million.
Stella Parton was lastly reported to have $10 million on her net worth as she has produced ten studio albums and appeared on some television shows way back in the 70s and in 2015.
Randy Parton amassed almost $10 million as he has fronted Moonlight Bandits and sang backup on Dolly's 1984 film "Rhinestone."
On the other hand, her sister Rachel is estimated to have at least $5 million to $10 million as she had a brief stint on Dolly's "9 to 5" TV series.
Lastly, her sisters Cassie and Frieda's net worth are unknown as both retired from the music scene.
Her other siblings' net worth is unknown as Coy, Robert, and David have very private lives. Combining all of their net worths, however, doesn't amount to the country music queen's wealth.
According to Wealthy Persons, Dolly now has an estimated net worth of $600 million as of March 2022.
Dolly Parton's Donation to Various Causes
In 2021, Dolly donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University to develop the now widely used Moderna Vaccine.
She has also vowed to pay college tuition costs of all employees of Dollywood who would want to go to college.
With her generosity, she will also pay for employee benefits such as access to the Dollywood Family Healthcare Center, free lunches for every working shift, and leadership training programs and child care fees.
