Grath Brooks Net Worth
Garth Brooks has been one of the biggest names in music for more than 30 years, making it no surprise that he is one of the richest country artists in the business. Renewed attention has been placed on the 58-year-old artist after his high-profile performance of “Amazing Grace” at Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration. The performance added to a long line of accolades given to Brooks since he dropped his self-titled first album in 1989. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Grath Brooks Net Worth adds up to roughly $400 million. It notes that his net worth is a combined total with his wife, fellow country artist Trisha Yearwood. However, the vast majority of the couple’s net worth, estimated at $300 to $350 million, belongs to Brooks.
Early Life
Garth Brooks was born on February 7, 1962. He celebrated his 58th birthday in 2020. His full name is actually Troyal Garth Brooks, and he was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was the youngest child of Troyal Raymond Brooks Jr (1931–2010), a draftsman for an oil company, and Colleen McElroy Carroll (1929–1999), also a country singer back in the 1950s. His parents had both been married before, with Brooks having four older half-siblings (Jim, Jerry, Mike, and Betsy). He also has a sister: Kelly.
Career
After college, Brooks started playing guitar and singing in local bars and clubs in 1985. An entertainment attorney drove from Dallas to Stillwater, Oklahoma just to hear Brooks play. He offered to produce his first demo. Brooks left for Nashville in search of a record contract. Within 24 hours, he was back in Oklahoma. The attorney convinced Garth to give Nashville another shot. Brooks moved to Nashville in 1987. With help from music manager Bob Doyle, Brooks eventually signed to Capitol Records. His early hits include “If Tomorrow Never Comes” and “The Dance”.

Commercial Success
Although sales for the singer’s first album, Garth Brooks (1989), were good, it would have been hard to predict the amazing success of later releases.
Brooks’ second effort, No Fences (1990), spent 23 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Album chart, selling 17 million copies. The album included his bar anthem “Friends in Low Places” and “The Thunder Rolls.”
His third, Ropin’ the Wind (1991), raked in a record-breaking four million orders before its release, and became the first album by a country singer to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts. His 1998 release, Garth Brooks Double Live, sold over one million copies in its first week of sales, breaking the previous record. Other hit albums include The Chase (1992), In Pieces (1993), Fresh Horses (1995), Sevens (1997) and Scarecrow (2001).
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Brooks and Trish Yearwood put on an informal concert that broadcasted to 5.2 million people on Facebook Live. The performance crashed due to the number of people trying to access it. Brooks and Yearwood then did the same kind of concert the following week on CBS and donated $1 million to pandemic relief causes. The CBS broadcast brought in 5.6 million viewers. On July 7, the couple went back to Facebook Live for another event and took song requests from fans.
In late June 2020, Brooks performed a concert that broadcasted at 300 drive-in theatres in the U.S. and Canada.
Personal Life
Brooks met his first wife, songwriter Sandy Mahl while in college. They married on May 24, 1986. The couple had three daughters: Taylor, August, and Allie. Brooks and Mahl divorced on December 17, 2001. His divorce was one of the most expensive divorces of all time. Garth paid Sandy a $125 million settlement.
Brooks remarried on December 10, 2005, to country singer Trisha Yearwood. Hope Garth Brooks net worth looks good.
