Townes Van Zandt – $10 Million

Born as John Townes Van Zandt, he made his debut in 1944 and had a great career until 1996. Townes Van Zandt passed away a year after that in 1997, and his contribution to the country music industry is incredible. He will always be famous for his ability to come up with poetic lyrics and the strain of melancholy in his compositions. He has been an idol for many upcoming country music singers. Despite several hits, he lived in cheap motels and shacks most of his life.

It was probably not because he couldn’t pay the mortgage. It was this desire to stay among common people and live a life like them that must have inspired him to write some of the best lyrics. A lifestyle plagued with alcoholism and substance abuse came to an end when he succumbed to cardiac arrhythmia.
