Since then, Swift has been on a steady increase, tripling her annual salary since she began performing in 2009. She takes home $150 million a year, but her general worth is between $320 million and $400 million due to her investments.
George Strait ($326 million)
George Strait kind of accidentally became one of the most legendary country musicians of all time. While playing in a high school garage band in the 1970s, Strait wrote his first hit single “Unwound.” He played that song at casual gigs that he played for fun with his friends as they prepared to go off to college, but before that happened he was picked up by a local radio station and he was immediately skyrocketed to the top of the charts. Within the course of 10 years after his first single, Strait had three albums hit the top of the country Billboard charts, naming him the country artist of the decade from 1980-1990.
