The Richest Country Stars of All Time
George Jones – $35 Million Net Worth
Long before Bruce Springsteen and Meat Loaf told their tales of working-class teenagers, there was country legend George Jones, one of the greatest songwriters of all time. “For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved,” wrote music critic and scholar Bill Malone.
Over his sixty-year career, which began in 1953, Jones released nearly 90 studio albums – yes, you read that right – and 134 singles. Of those 134 singles, 31 of his hit tunes soared to number one on the country charts. Sadly, Jones passed away at the age of 81-years-old in 2013. At the time of his passing, the legend enjoyed a net worth of $35 million.
