What is Kenny Chesney’s net worth?
As some Country stars make headlines for the worst reasons, a longtime star in the genre is crossing a milestone.
Kenny Chesney is the first country performer, ever, to headline at the Las Vegas Sphere.
Naturally, fans and those unfamiliar with his work alike are wondering how wealthy his unending success has made him.

Las Vegas’ Sphere will host Kenny Chesney
Kenny Chesney will headline the Sphere from May 22 through June 13.
In fact, his residency could extend even further if it ends up being in high demand. That’s already happened with U2, Dead and Co., The Eagles, and Anyma. Thus far, only Phish has stuck to their initial Sphere commitment.
We don’t know exactly what Chesney has planned. But whatever it is, it’s been in the works for months.

“I’m always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music,” Chesney shared in a statement.
“…just the idea of 4D technology and the impossibly dialed-in sound raises the experience for No Shoes Nation, literally immersing them in music, visuals, sound, and being together,” he added.
Chesney affirmed: “To me, this is going to be a whole new way of rocking the fans, and I can’t wait.”

What is Kenny Chesney’s net worth?
According to online estimates by Celebrity Net Worth, Kenny Chesney has a net worth of $180 million.
That is, of course, only an estimate. These online estimates are not the same as deep dives by Forbes, but represent educated guesses based upon publicly available information and knowledge of the industry.
Often, net worth estimates of the very wealthy — like Chesney clearly seems to be — can prove more accurate than guessing the wealth of a newer artist or, say, a TV character actor.

It’s important to remember that Kenny Chesney is more successful than the vast majority of country stars. This goes beyond his net worth.
He’s won twelve Country Music Awards. And he has been a country star for decades.
In 2018, Forbes estimated his annual income to be about $37 million. In this case, the $180 million estimate is believable, even without confirmation.

How much do performers make at the Sphere?
This sort of thing can vary widely from artist to artist.
However, U2 was reportedly making about $1 million per show at the Las Vegas Sphere.
If Kenny Chesney does the same or better (or even almost as well for himself), he could definitely add some comfortable padding to his net worth. After all, there are a lot of country fans in Vegas.
