Country’s Highest Paid Artists

Forbes has released its annual list of top 100 celebrity earners and you shouldn’t be surprised to see Garth Brooks be tops when it comes to all country artists. He was the highest earner the last time this came out as well, hence the lack of surprise.

Last year Brooks made $70 million, a decrease of $20 million from 2014. This year’s $70 million ranks him 15th of all celebrities and he should definitely brag about it. He made much of this money was built around such an amazing tour in 2015.

Other country artists on the list include Kenny Chesney ($56 million), Luke Bryan ($53 million), Toby Keith ($47 million) and Jason Aldean ($36.5 million). In total, five country artists made the top 100.
