Willie Nelson

Nelson uses a variety of music styles to create his own unique country music, a fusion of jazz, pop, blues, rock and folk music. Willie Nelson is not just a simple singer-songwriter. He is an iconic musician – a legendary in his own right. He is one of the most recognized artists in country music, thanks to the critical and commercial success of his albums, Red Headed Stranger and Stardust. The 87-year-old star has been in the business since the mid-1950s.

With a long-spanning career, surely, Nelson already has a huge net worth. However, the occasional actor had an issue with the IRS, and he ended up paying a whopping $16.7 million tax bill. This affected Nelson’s fortune. But with the help of his lawyer and another successful album, The IRS Tapes: Who’ll Buy My Memories?, he was able to pay everything and get out of debt.
