Her debut album came out in 1975, entitled “I Want to Hold You in My Dreams Tonight”, and it reached No. 24 on the US Country chart, encouraging her to continue to work on her music – the title single reached No. 9, which only increased the sales of the album, and therefore increased her net worth. After this success, she signed a contract with Elektra Records, and released three albums for the label – “Country Sweet”, which reached No. 27, “Stella Parton” (1978), reaching No. 38 and “Love Ya” (1979), which went uncharted. Due to her declining success, Stella left Elektra Records, and signed with the independent label Townhouse Records, but released only one album for the record house – “So Far, So Good” in 1982 – and then switched to Airborn Records, through which she also released one studio album, entitled “Always Tomorrow” in 1989.
She was largely inactive during the `90s, but released compilation albums including “Picture in a Frame” (1997) and “Anthology” (1998). She returned to the studio with the beginning of the 2000s, and released her seventh studio album “Appalachian Blues” in 2001 through Raptor Records. She released two more albums through the same label, “Appalachian Gospel” (2003), and “Testimony” in 2008, all of which increased her net worth.
Stella is also recognized as an actress; she made her debut in the popular TV series “Dukes of Hazzard” in 1979, and a year later appeared in the film “Cloud Dancer” (1980). Two decades later, she featured in Sheldon Larry`s drama film “The Color of Love: Jacey`s Story” (2000), and two years afterwards had the lead role in Scott A. Martin`s “Seven to Midnight”. Most recently, she appeared in Stephen Herek`s films about her sister Dolly – “Dolly Parton‘s Coat of Many Colors” (2015), and “Dolly Parton‘s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love” (2016).
Apart from her success in the entertainment industry, Dolly owns a consulting firm – Attic Entertainment Artist Development & Entertainment Consulting – where she teaches people about make-up, hair, stage acting and wardrobe techniques. Furthermore, she has published cookbooks, “Church Bazaars” and “State Fairs”, all adding to her net worth.
Thanks to her contribution to music, Stella has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Album of the Year and entertainer of the Year in 2006 given by the Alabama Country & Gospel Music Hall of Fame, Female Vocalist of the Year in 2004 by the Christian Country Music Association, and she was inducted into the American Old-Time Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006, among other awards.
Regarding her personal life, Stella has been married to Marvin Carroll Rauhoff since 1966; the couple has one child together.

Joshua Scott “JC” Chasez, also known as JC Chasez, Big Daddy or J. C. Chasez is a white American who was born on August 8 1976 in Washington, United States of America, but he was raised in Bowie, Maryland after he was adopted by Roy and Karen Chasez when Joshua’s biological mother entrusted care of him at the age of 5. Chasez has never known his biological father and he seems not to have any plans to search for him. So JC Chasez grew-up in his new family with a younger brother Tyler and a sister Heather. As a child he attended Robert Goddart Middle School and always loved dancing during school years.
JC Chasez Net Worth $30 Million
Today JC Chasez is mainly known as an American boy band ‘N Sync member, occasional actor, singer, dancer and songwriter. Today he has a net worth of $30 million, But Joshua’s first steps in his future career weren’t so notable for the rest of the world. As a boy JC Chasez was extremely shy, but he was able to fight with his modesty and joined the Mickey Mouse Club.
The first real success came for Chasez after the formatIon of a band called ‘N Sync which has become extremely popular in the USA and Europe from 2000. Although ‘N Sync broke up in 2002, the have sold more that 9.9 million copies of their album “No Strings Attached”. This was one of the biggest investments in Joshua’s net worth, but the band have licensed their likenesses and released microphones, lip balm, marionettes, books, key chains, cloths and video games with their emblem. The band has also been dealing with McDonalds, Chilli’s Grill & Bar. In 2009 N’Sync was even immortalized in wax In New York’s Madame Tussaunds museum and can be seen there until today. N’Sync members acheived not only worldwide recognition after releasing their albums and singles, but also earned huge amounts of money from live performances and different merchandise.
Since 2002 JC Chasez has tried several different aspects of the entertainment industry – he has written songs, produced records, danced and even appeared in some movies. His most notable appearances were in a movie called “21 and a Wake-Up”, where he played Dr. Tom Dury, in “Killer Movie” as Ted Buckley, in “Longshot” as a pizzeria worker, and in “Greetings from Tucson” as Jay Dugray. But mostly he has become known as a singer, because after leaving ‘N Sync he started his own solo career and released his first solo single “Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love)” in 2002. JC Chasez’s debut album “Schizophrenic” appeared in 2004 and was able to take 17th chart position in the US and 46th position in the United Kingdom.
Unfortunately, nowadays JC Chasez’s career isn’t as successful as it was 10 years ago. His last released solo album “The Story of Kate” in 2007 didn’t appear in any charts, and since then JC Chasez has just made appearances in some other albums as a guest. He was talking about ‘N Sync reunion in 2011, but until today this ambition has not come to fruition.

Neal Schon Net Worth
Neal George Joseph Schon was born on 27th February 1954 at Tinker AFB (Air Force Base), Oklahoma USA, of Italian and German descent. Neal Schon is a rock guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, best known for being an important member of several hugely popular bands, namely Santana, Bad English and Journey.
So just how rich is Neal Schon? Neal’s net worth has been calculated to be over $30 million, amassed during his successful career of more than 40 years in the music industry.
Neal Schon Net Worth $30 Million
Neal Schon was lucky to be born into a musical family – his father Mathew Schon was a famous musician and mother Barbara Schon sang in a band. So Schon picked his first guitar at the age of five years, and starting at early age is usually a way to success. His first career steps started at the age of 15 with the band Santana, in preference to joining Eric Clapton in the band Derek and the Dominos, and debuting with some vocals on Santana’s album Santana III. Being such a great musician at such young age with the possibility to choose between two iconic bands, he went on and started making his money. He also played for Azteca but very briefly.
In 1973 Neal Schon formed his now legendary band Journey. He subsequently released five solo albums, and fourteen studio albums with the band. This must be the main flow into his net worth. Importantly, he is the only band member who has not changed through the years. He has taken part in every tour of the band, and sang on all their albums, so no doubt this longevity with Journey has increased the overall amount of Neal Schon’s net worth as well. Apart from this, he has also collaborated with famous musicians such as keyboardist Jan Hammer, Sammy Hagar and Paul Rodgers on short-term projects.
Neal Schon is as great a vocalist, as he is a guitar virtuoso. Two talents double the money earned, does it not? Let’s talk about his musical influences, of whom there were plenty. He has said that he was highly influenced by the 1960’s, musicians from that era such as Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. Then he put some blues to the mix, namely B.B. King and added some guitar-based influences, including of course Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton as well as Wes Montgomery. This is probably Neal Schon’s key to fame – adding the best ingredients from different musical eras.
Schon was always proud of his guitars. He started with acoustic Stella guitar followed by Gibson ES-335. At present he became interested in Xotic guitars. Schon was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in August 2013, which made him, if possible, even more famous. This is considered to be an accomplishment of a lifetime for any musician.
In his not-so-private personal life, Neal Schon has married five times, first to Tena Austin(1976-86), then Beth Buckley(1987-92), Dina Gioeli(1993-99), and Amber Kozan(2001-08). In 2013 he married Michaele Salahi. He has five children.
