Top Earning Country Music Artists of 2016

When it comes to making money, these country music artists have no problem. From millions of albums sold, to sold out arena shows, to world tours, these artists are killing it and are making tons of cash.

I found the top eight highest earning country music stars of 2016 so far. A couple of the artists on the list may surprise you.

Mine was Shania Twain, seeing she hasn't had a album or new song out in quite a while, but I guess her stint in Las Vegas helped her cash situation. Here are your top 8:

#8 -- Carrie Underwood -- $26 Million

#7 -- Shania Twain -- $27.5 Million

#6 -- Zac Brown Band -- $30 Million

#5 -- Jason Aldean -- $36.5 Million

#4 -- Toby Keith -- $47.5 Million

#3 -- Luke Bryan -- $53 Million

#2 -- Kenny Chesney -- $47.5 Million

#1 -- Garth Brooks -- $70 Million
