What is the Dixie Chicks' net worth?
'Gaslighter' new single sees the ladies return to music
The Dixie Chicks are a country music tour de force. Hailing from Dallas, the trio is recognized as being among the best musicians in country music.
After a 14-year hiatus, the band has released a new single, with a full album to follow.
Since forming in 1989, the founding members, sisters Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Erwin Robison and lead singer Natalie Mains, have received 19 Grammy nominations, winning 12.
With multimillion-dollar-selling albums, world tours and a dash of political controversy, how much have one of the most successful country groups of all time cashed in?
In 1998 the Dixie Chicks sold more CDs than all other country music groups combined with their album Wide Open Spaces, which was a number one hit in the United States and Canada, as well as topping UK charts. From the success of the album, the band had estimated earnings of $12.5 million
Since then, the band has released three more studio albums, earning an estimated $35.3 million in total sales.
