GEORGE STRAIT – EST. $350 MILLION

If there’s a queen in country music, then George Strait is considered the king, which was why he was called the “King of Country” and was inducted into the hall of fame in 2012. Even outside of the genre, George is considered one of the most popular and influential recording artists of all time. He has managed to sell over 100 million records worldwide, which ranks him among the best-selling artists of all time in the industry with 38 gold albums, 33 platinum, and 13 multi-platinum records.

Did you know that he also served in the United States Army as an infantryman back in 1971? After his honorable discharge, he pursued his studies at the Southwest Texas State University, where he received his degree in Agriculture. George also co-founded Vaqueros Del Mar golf tournament and concert series, and of course, he also has broken into the film and television industry.
