Dolly Parton added to Forbes’ 2021 list of richest self-made women
Can you guess where her incredible wealth comes from?
Despite the tough economic struggles and global pandemic, Dolly Parton managed to pull together a tidy profit last year.
With Parton's revenue coming from a holiday album, "A Holly Dolly Christmas;" a Netflix film, "Christmas on the Square;" and of course, her namesake theme park, Dollywood – the country superstar’s net worth is estimated to be $350 million.
Forbes’ shared their illustrious list of America’s richest self-made women, including names like Kylie Jenner(23), Rihanna (33)and Alice Schwartz (93).
Parton’s crowning achievement of the past couple of years has little to do with music, acting or theme parks.
In April 2020, she announced a $1 million gift to Vanderbilt University to help research the coronavirus; seven months later, a report by The New England Journal of Medicine revealed her money helped fund Moderna’s vaccine.
Dolly’s most recent project saw the release of her new line of perfume called “Dolly - Scent from Above.”
And just a few months ago, the iconic singer announced a huge expansion to her popular theme park “Dollywood”, located in the Great Smokey Mountains, Tennessee.
Plans include a new 302-room HeartSong Lodge & Resort adjacent to Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort and Spa.
There’s just no stopping Dolly!
