Venture: Tuckerville
While most musical artists and celebrities take many years (sometimes decades) to achieve the lusted status of fame and wealth, it almost seems that Tanya Tucker was born for those. With her hit single “Delta Dawn” topping the musical charts when she was just 13 years old, Tucker was clearly destined for massive accomplishments in the country music scene. While many child stars tend to fade in popularity over time, this young prodigy had only gotten better as time went on, eventually leading the young Texas-born artist to a net worth of over $50 million.
Since her debut, Tucker had amassed various award nominations and top-hit singles including 1973’s “What’s Your Mama’s Name?” and “Blood Red and Goin’ Down”, 1975’s “Lizzie and the Rainman”, and 1988’s “Strong Enough to Bend”. She’s also a popular entertainer and appears in various shows and popular award ceremonies.
