Jon Pardi
Net Worth: $8 million
Venture: Heartache Medication
Even at a young age, Jon Pardi proved his musical and business skills were valuable assets when he formed his own band back when he was still just in high-school. He was born in Dixon, California and left his hometown after finishing high-school in the hopes of becoming a successful singer. The young boy moved to Nashville and found his luck there with the Capitol Nashville label. The young multi-millionaire is also a record producer and has many sets of talents under his sleeves.
Pardi has managed to charm the crowds with his laid back neotraditional country singing and brilliantly manages to fuse old traditional styles with the modern tastes of country lovers, bringing both oldies and youngsters together to his tours. So far, Pardi has released two albums and ten singles, with almost all of his singles appearing in the country chart. He is currently working on his latest album, Heartache Medication, which we’re sure will be just as good as the first two (or even better).

This caused audiences to label her as a crossover star, a title that some classic country musicians criticize and avoid at all costs.

Billie Jo Spears was a popular country star from back in the ‘60s, who was mostly known for her hit song “Mr. Walker It’s All Over”. Widely regarded as the “Queen Mother” of country music by fans and critics alike, Spears had a wonderful streak of singles that became hits on the charts. Her musical career began stagnating and was eventually paused for a few years due to personal reasons — and fans were demanding a comeback.
Following a few years of hiatus, Spears managed to surprise everyone when she released her most famous and successful song to date, "Blanket on the Ground", which came out in 1975 and became an instant hit. She continued releasing albums into the '80s but her fame and popularity began to fade in the United States, although she was still very popular in the UK and even recorded albums which were almost exclusively released in Britain. She continued her career into her mid 70’s despite persistent medical problems. Spears eventually passed away in 2011 leaving her wonderful music behind for the world to enjoy.
