Legendary singer and actress Dolly Parton passed away on Tuesday at the age of 80. While she was best known for her role in shaping global entertainment and, to many, as the "Queen of Country," Parton leaves behind one of the biggest philanthropic legacies ever.
At the time of her death, Parton was estimated to be worth $450 million. While this is a substantial amount of net worth built over a career, it also falls short of that of other entertainers of Parton's stature and may surprise some that she was never a billionaire, a status she failed to reach due to her philanthropy.
Forbes estimates Parton's net worth at $450 million, with the majority made up of a 50% ownership stake in the Dollywood theme park, estimated at around $165 million.
