It may have taken Willie Nelson longer than expected to make it in the world of country music, but all that patience and hard work has provided him with a net worth of approximately $25 million (via Celebrity Net Worth).
Part of the reason Nelson's net worth is a little lower than you'd think might be because of a dispute he got into with the Internal Revenue Service. In 1993, he was hit with a $32 million tax bill from the IRS. He wasn't able to pay what the IRS claimed he owed, and the organization ended up seizing many of his assets. He ended up recording an album titled The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories to help settle the score.
Nelson told the New York Times that the album wasn't much, but it could get the job done. "It's no overproduced album with millions of dollars of studio costs. But I think it's the best stuff I got," the country star shared. "I've always wanted to put out an album with me and my guitar doing my original songs. And my fans like it because it sounds like it's just me in my living room singing."
Willie Nelson ended up having his bill reduced to $16.2 million, which he managed to pay off.
