Dolly Parton — Dollywood & Beyond

Dollywood draws 3 million visitors annually, employs 4,000 people, and generates over $300 million in economic impact for Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Parton also owns a dinner theater chain, a water park, and real estate across the Smoky Mountains, while her Imagination Library has donated 200 million books to children. Forbes estimates her net worth at $650 million—far more than her music career contributed, though less than #1 Dr. Dre's business windfall. She built a theme park empire and a literacy nonprofit while still touring at 80.
