Garth Brooks’ Net Worth
Troyal Garth Brooks was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and his mother, Colleen McElroy Carroll, was actually a country singer as well. Though he grew up in a home that encouraged him to sing and learn to play musical instruments, such as the guitar and banjo, Brooks was a jock in high school and earned himself a track scholarship to Oklahoma State University. He didn’t actually pursue a professional singing career until after he graduated with his marketing degree in 1984.
Though he initially started performing at bars around his home state, Brooks and his first wife, Sandy Mahl, moved to Nashville so he could pursue a music career. And he definitely hit the ground running. Brooks’ self-titled first album made it to No. 2 on the charts and his second album, No Fences, spent a whopping 23 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. His first single, “Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)” was a top 10 country song on the Billboard chart. With such an impressive debut into the music world, it should come as no surprise that Garth Brooks is worth around $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
