Here's How Much Margo Price Is Really Worth

Margo Price burst on to the country music scene back in 2016 with the release of her first solo album, "Midwest Farmer's Daughter." Her work drew near-immediate comparisons to heavy-hitters like Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard. It's easy to think that Price's album just landed out of nowhere, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Price has been performing at bars and venues around the United States for about a decade. After spending two years in Chicago, she dropped out of college and decided to make Nashville, Tennessee, her home. She and her husband each performed solo and in bands together, with the latter finding them moving all over the country to pursue opportunities. She explained to Fader that sometimes the moves were necessary to make their music work for an area.

"Our whole goal was to write songs that were purely topical — no love songs, just political and social commentary. Which was like, maybe not the thing to do in Nashville," she explained. "We moved to Colorado and we were living in this tent, in this area where you didn't have to pay for camping. We would go into town, and we really needed to make a good amount of money busking because we didn't have jobs."

Margo Price and her husband moved from Colorado back to Nashville and spent years performing again. Things were touch and go, and for a while it seemed like nothing would take off. As she explained to Fader, sometimes making it felt nearly impossible. "There was lots of rejection letters," she confessed. "You check your email in bed, before you even get out of bed for the day, and you're just getting your rejection letter, it's so hard to get out of bed."

Eventually, things took off. These days, Price's work has netted her an impressive net worth, especially for someone who once had a career busking. According to Popular Bio, Price is believed to be worth between $1 million and $5 million. 

In 2020, Price told The Ringer that she's ready to look ahead to the future and keep working. "I think I'm still going to make another rock 'n' roll album," the singer revealed. "I had a couple of country records, but I actually recorded three and shelved one of them, and I want to do the same thing with this next era."
