As it turns out, the "Coal Miner's Daughter" singer is sitting on a mine these days — a gold mine, that is! According to Celebrity Net Worth, Loretta Lynn is worth a staggering $65 million big ones. Per Wide Open Country, Lynn has her 16 number one hits on the Billboard charts to thank for all that cash flow, including "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," "You Ain't Woman Enough," and "Fist City."

Perhaps, Lynn's most successful song to date, however, is one in which she poured her heart and soul, drawing from her own life experiences as a young girl, "Coal Miner's Daughter." Per Biography.com, in the 1970s, Lynn used her own personal experiences of growing up impoverished to write the song that instantly became a number one hit. 

But even as her star rose and her bank account got bigger, Lynn remained ever-so humble. During an interview with Weekend Edition Sunday in 2000, Lynn had this to say about her personal account of growing up poor and later turning the raw hand she was dealt into a major hit: "I didn't think anybody'd be interested in my life," Lynn said. "I know everybody's got a life, and they all have something to say. Everybody has a story about their life. It wasn't just me. I guess I was just the one that told it."

We can think of 65 good reasons she's glad she told her story, after all.
