Reba McEntire has been an American country music legend for decades. She's practically royalty in the United States. The singer-songwriter has released numerous smash hit studio albums with number one hit after number one hit on them. The country artist is a Nashville icon, but have you ever wondered what the Oklahoma native's net worth is? How much of that Tremors money does she got? Turns out Reba McEntire's net worth is... a whole lot. The country singer has won Grammys, had her own sitcom, been at the top of the Billboard charts with her multiplatinum records, and is quite arguably the queen of country music. So yeah, she's made some money.

Reba Nell McEntire has an estimated net worth of $95 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. Dang! Her hair color might be red but that bank account is straight up green.

Pretty good for a girl from McAlester, Oklahoma. Born to Jacqueline and Clark Vincent McEntire in in 1955, this future habitual hit record producer graduated from Kiowa High School before attending college. Though she originally intended to be a school teacher she was singing the entire time. Beginning with the Singing McEntires, a band she had with her siblings. In 1974, Reba accidentally got her big break when she was hired to perform the national anthem at the National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City. It was there that country artist Red Steagall discovered the red head's immense vocal talent and decided to get her music career going. Soon she was on with Mercury Records and recording country music.

The rest, as they say, is history. Reba went on to be one of the biggest music industry stars of all time with hits like For My Broken Heart, How Blue, Somebody Should Leave, Fancy, Annie Get Your Gun, and The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. But Reba was such a beloved personality that her charisma soon landed her on screens big and small. She was in films like The Little Rascals and the glorious sci-fi film Tremors, and played Annie Oakley in the TV show Buffalo Girls.

Reba has been married a few times, including to her most recent ex-husband, Narvel Blackstock, her former manager and steel guitar player. These days Reba is living it up with her millions, still making hit music and reigning as our benevolent Queen of Country Music. She also had a brief turn in KFC commercials playing Colonel Sanders in 2018. That was weird, but also pretty funny. That's just how lovable she is.
