Dolly Parton, 73 – Singing & Acting

You know you’re really an icon when you open up a theme park based on your personality and image and it’s a raving success. This was singer and actor Dolly Parton’s experience when in ’86, she opened Dollywood. Her wealth of $500M is a result of the income generated from the park coupled with that from her music sales. From her teen years, Dolly was focused on working in entertainment but as a songwriter. The day after graduating from high school, she went to Nashville to live. She was given star number two on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood in 2018.
