Parton started her own publishing company just to control the rights to all over her songs. “As soon as you start making money, you should invest and get into other businesses that you can fall back on if you don’t make it big, or if you make it big and you fall on hard times,” Parton told BBC News.

Parton’s business-minded mentality has earned her quite a fortune throughout the years and according to Forbe’s Celebrity 100 list, Parton earned $37 million from June 2016 to 2017. Much of that fiscal year’s revenue came from her Pure and Simple concert tour and her Dollywood theme park.
