Naomi Judd's Net Worth At The Time Of Her Death Might Surprise You

Given her illustrious career, it comes as no surprise that Naomi Judd was worth a pretty penny at the time of her death: $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Between 1983 and 1991, country singers Naomi and daughter Wynonna — performing as The Judds — released six studio albums, per PBS. During that time period, they produced a whopping 14 No. 1 hits, and their most popular songs include "Mama, He's Crazy," "Why Not Me," "Turn It Loose," and "Love Can Build a Bridge."

With only a 17 year difference in their ages, The Judds sometimes appeared more like sisters. Their mutual love of music became a bonding experience for the single mom and her oldest daughter. While Naomi trained to become a nurse, Wynonna learned guitar and sang during her free time, per The New York Times. For inspiration, they turned to affordable, used country records. After listening to two women sing, Naomi had an epiphany. "Wynonna and I couldn't talk to each other, but, low and behold, we could sing together," she said. "Their songs were not just a balm between the two of us, but they were teaching Wynonna the history of country music" (via PBS).

Wynonna also felt the magic when she sang with her mom. "All of a sudden, before I know what's going on, she has attached herself vocally to me, and it's as if it were one voice," she told NPR's Scott Simon in 2010.
