Carly Pearce
Net Worth: $500,000
Venture: Way Back Tour
Young Carly Pearce has a very similar story to Lady A and started out as a guest singer for the popular Josh Abbott Band. Pearce then took a brave step and ventured out on her own, only that it didn’t take talent seekers any time to pay attention to her. The singer’s first single, “Every Little Thing,” became an instant hit when it was released in 2016 and became one of the year’s top songs in Country Airplay.
Pearce was shortly then signed to the label Big Machine, and has since released one album called “Every Little Thing” which sold around 40,000 units in the US. Her debut single “Every Little Thing” was awarded the Breakthrough Video of the Year award by CMT Music Awards. Pearce was born in Kentucky and grew up in Tennessee. She has recently married Michael Ray, a fellow country star.
Martina McBride
Net Worth: $38 million
Venture: Love Unleashed Tour
Most country singers eventually crossover to pop and more mainstream versions of country once they have attained a certain level of fame and success. Crossing over helps musical artists expand into much bigger audiences and multiply a singer’s fan base. In Martina McBride’s case, she crossed over to pop a few times, long before achieving her current popularity and acclaim.
The Kansas-born singer is highly talented and plays everything from piano to harmonica and even the tambourine. Her first major single “The Time Has Come” didn’t achieve the popularity she hoped, but with many tweaks to her musical style and approach, she seems to have found her groove and managed to stay relevant and hot in the billboards for almost three decades since. McBride is currently signed to RCA and her tour Love Unleashed has proven to be very successful.

Jake Owen
Net Worth: $10 million
Venture: Thunder by the Bay
If you’re not yet familiar with pretty boy Jake Owen, you might be missing out on one awesome country singer. The singer debuted in 2006 with the album ‘Startin’ with Me’ which was fairly successful and resulted in three singles that reached the Top 20 on the charts. He followed it up with his second album, “Easy Does It” which also received favorable acclaim. It’s often true that the ‘third time’s the charm’, which is exactly what happened in Owen’s case. His third album, “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” outperformed the first two by a margin and got him the number-one country hit and the Top New Male Vocalist award from ACM.
Owen is an excellent golfer and occasionally plays pro golf. In June 2019, Jake was the subject of a small backlash from fans after covering Cher's song Believe to celebrate Gay Pride Month. He was promptly threatened with boycotts from many fans but chose to instead offer them a hug if they ever come to his concert, emphasizing that they "need one". The event has caused the musical artist to receive positive media coverage and a spike in his social media traffic..
