After her illustrious career as a country music icon, Loretta Lynn passed away at the age of 90 yesterday, October 4, at her beautiful home in Hurricane Hills in Tennesee.
Although her death came from natural causes, Loretta Lynn has established herself as one of the foundations of country music in the United States. Given her age and deteriorating health, including her stroke, the music icon passed away peacefully surrounded by her family.
Interestingly, it seemed like the "Coal Miner's Daughter" hitmaker might have had an inkling of foreshadowing as she had made funeral preparations a week before her actual passing.
Per Radar Online, Lynn apparently wanted to convert most of her remaining physical assets into cash to not give her children and grandchildren the extra burden and responsibility of choosing what to sell or not when she passes away.
But given this rather unusual proposition, fans of the country songstress are wondering - how much money does Loretta Lynn leave her children with?

Formally known as Loretta Webb, Loretta Lynn was born in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, to a family of a subsistence farmer and a coal miner - prompting inspiration for one of her greatest hits, "Coal Miner's Daughter."
Lynn's music career began in the late 1950s, making her way through the local country scene and eventually forming her own band, "The Trailblazers."
It was only after the late 1960s that her song, "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," became one of the first albums by a female country artist to have generated a sale of over 500,000 copies.
Loretta made her way to the top with her unmistakable Kentucky drawl and tensely coiled vibrato. She ended up producing 50 studio albums, 36 compilation albums, nine video albums, and two live ones.
Most of her fortunes were primarily attributed to her six-decade-spanning work as a country music singer, and her successful autobiography turned Academy award-winning film "Coal Miner's Daughter."
Per Celebrity Net Worth, Loretta Lynn's Net Worth is around $65 million.
With a source close to the music icon saying that she wanted to turn this into cold cash, her current fortune might be too huge to have encashed in a small matter of time.
Besides, her physical holdings also extend to her own ranch, where she passed away in Hurricane Mills. The land was largely used for outdoor holiday concerts, racing events, and even a plantation.
With her preparedness for the inevitable, Loretta Lynn's net worth might be going into something fruitful that would ensure that her legacy as a country music icon would be kept alive and continue to inspire younger generations of artists from the beloved genre.
