Forbes has released its “Country Cash Kings” list and Garth Brooks reigns supreme.
The publication takes into account income from record sales, touring and non-musical business ventures over the past year for country musicians and them ranks them based on the money made.
This year has Garth Brooks back on top as THE Country Cash King pulling in more than $70 million!
Kenny Chesney takes the runner-up spot with earnings of $56 million while Luke Bryan makes a “podium finish” in third place at $53 million made.
Forbes may want to change the name of their list to “Country Cash Kings and Queens” as four females made the list with Shania setting the standard for the women at #7 with $27.5 million in earnings.
Here is Forbes’ Country Cash Kings list:
1. Garth Brooks, $70 million
2. Kenny Chesney, $56 million
3. Luke Bryan, $53 million
4. Toby Keith, $47.5 million
5. Jason Aldean, $36.5 million

I guess Garth has once again proven that he really is the king of all things country.
