Garth Brooks and his astonishing 'net worth' after raking it in during Croke Park gigs

US superstar Garth Brooks recently played five concerts in Croke Park which has increased his already staggering net worth.

Brooks is one of the richest Country singers in the world and continues to add to his wealth with huge headline gigs.

He grew up surrounded by music, often singing at family events before moving on to clubs and bars, before taking his performances to the world stage.

During a year on tour, Garth is known to earn as much as $90 million (€90.5m) and has at times been the highest-paid celebrity on the planet.

Garth and his wife Trisha live in a fancy country estate in Nashville, Tennessee which he purchased in November 1990.

The 5,551 square foot home, which was originally built in 1970 has a gated entrance and 13 rooms in total including 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.

It sits on a 19.8-acre lot and also includes a pool and a 1,575 square foot garage as well as a 746 square foot basement.

Brooks owns homes in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Nashville, Tennessee; and Malibu, California.

Over a one year period, from June 2017 to June 2018, Garth Brooks earned a reported $45 million (€45.2m).

His The Garth Brooks World Tour, which began in 2014 and ran until 2017, was the 14th highest-grossing tour of all time and brought in total revenue of $364.3 (€370 million.)

In 2019, it was reported that Brooks and Yearwood bought the Layby Hotel on Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, Florida for $8.825 million.

Brooks dominated the 1990s as a country artist — his concerts became the stuff of legend, rivalling ticket sales set by U2, Bruce Springsteen and the Eagles.

He's the only musician in music history to have seven Diamond status records according to the RIAA.

It may come as a surprise to some but he even ranks higher than the famous Dolly Parton in terms of music sales.

After his five night stint in Croke Park, Garth took to his social media channel Inside Studio G and revealed he could have sold out another two nights, he said: ”Peter Aiken said that if we had stayed here another night or two nights (we would have them).

“The opportunity came up about a year ago to play again and I didn’t think it would ever happen after the regulators pulled the plug on the five concerts in 2014 and swept the whole thing out from under our feet. How many times do you get to sell 400,000 tickets twice — but they blew through them twice.

“Everyone showed up in great force, they are so proud of their country and the love in that country is amazing. The weather was fantastic — all five nights. I was blessed. I kept losing it (crying). I was toast.”

“I’m happy but I’m sad, it’s like winning the Super Bowl, but now it’s the crash but it could not have gone better. Ireland blew us away.”
