Stella Parton has an estimated net worth of $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Stella Parton net worth page (figures as of November 4, 2026).
Stella Parton is an American country singer and songwriter who was born Stella Mae Parton on May 4, 1949, in Sevierville, Tennessee. She was one of 12 children of Avie Lee and Robert Lee Parton and is the younger sister of Dolly Parton. She grew up in a four-room home in the Great Smoky Mountain foothills with no running water or electricity. After marrying young she took a nightclub job in Alexandria, Virginia, and in 1967 she released her first album, the gospel project In the Garden, with family members.
After moving to Nashville, she started her own record label, Soul, Country and Blues, in 1975 and released I Want to Hold You in My Dreams Tonight. Its title track reached the country top ten and became her biggest hit. That success led to a deal with Elektra in 1976 and more top 20 hits in 1977 and 1978. She has released 22 albums and had 28 charting singles. She has also acted, starring in a 1979 episode of The Dukes of Hazzard and playing Corla Bass in Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors.
How Stella Parton makes her money
Recorded music is the heart of her career. Her 1970s hits, including The Danger of a Stranger, Four Little Letters and Standard Lie Number One, built a catalog she has added to across 22 albums.
Owning her own business helped her early on. Starting her own label in 1975 to release her breakthrough album meant she kept a stake in the record that launched her, and she later recorded for independent labels such as Accord/Townhouse, Airborne and Raptor Records.
Stage and screen work broaden her income. She starred in touring Broadway musicals such as Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, wrote and staged shows for Dollywood's opening season, and appeared in TV movies and films through 2022.
Writing adds a further stream. She has published a memoir and three cookbooks, including State Fairs and Church Bazaars, and she keeps busy with charity work and teaching at Berea College.
