Dolly Parton's net worth is so high for a number of reasons. The first is because she has been working as a country artist since the 1960s and has had a whopping 41 top-10 country albums as well as 25 No. 1 singles.

While the Buffy movie was not a success (though it later became a cult favorite), the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series, which ran from 1997 until 2003, would go on to become a classic, earning new fans to this day. Parton is said to have played a "fundamental if often forgotten role" in getting the show made. Nowadays, she has an Emmy-winning production deal with Netflix.
