Adele takes the second place as she had reportedly earned $69 million.

Taylor Swift ranked down to third place. She allegedly earned $44 million. Although she surpassed Parton’s spot on the list, she is no longer considered a country star since she has shifted genres.

The last three spots were taken by Celine Dion, having earned $42 million from her Las Vegas residency, Jennifer Lopez with $38 million from her new TV show, World of Dance, as well as her Las Vegas residency, and lastly, Parton takes the final spot with her earnings racking up to $37 million.

As for the male category, Garth Brooks takes the lead for the highest-paid country artist.

Parton has been in the industry since 1967 and she has certainly made a mark on the people, making her a household name.

Perhaps Parton’s most famous song up to date is Jolene, which has been sang by hundreds of artists all over the world.

She is now 72 years old and was born and raised in Tennessee.
