Naomi Judd Net Worth: How Rich Was Country Singer Before Her Death?

Naomi Judd was worth tens of millions of dollars at the time of her death Saturday. Here's a look at the life and fortune of the country music legend as the world, including her daughters Wynonna and Ashley Judd, mourn her death.

At the time of her passing, the 76-year-old singer-songwriter had an estimated net worth of $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Naomi, born Diana Ellen Judd, became known in the early 1980s as part of The Judds, a country music duo she formed with Wynonna.

Between 1984 and 1991, the mother and daughter tandem released six studio albums. They earned 14 chart-topping songs including "Mama He's Crazy," "Why Not Me," "Turn It Loose," "Change of Heart" and "Let Me Tell You About Love." Over the years, The Judds won five Grammys, nine CMA Awards and seven ACM Awards.

The Judds stopped performing in 1991 when Naomi was diagnosed with hepatitis C, which she had contracted while working as a nurse. Wynonna continued her solo career.

As an actress, Naomi appeared in several films, including "More American Graffiti,” "Family Tree,” "Someone Like You” and "An Evergreen Christmas." She served as an executive producer on the TV movie "Naomi & Wynonna: Love Can Build a Bridge" and the documentary "The Judds."

She also published several books, including "Naomi's Home Companion," "I Sing Harmony" and 2016's "River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged with Hope," in which she detailed her battle with severe depression and anxiety.

Naomi's daughters announced in a statement Saturday that they lost their mother to "the disease of mental illness." The late singer's exact cause of death was not disclosed.

A day after the announcement, The Judds were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. At the induction ceremony, Wynonna assured everyone that her mother's memory and music will not die.

"Though my heart's broken, I will continue to sing, because that's what we do," she said.

Naomi was a longtime advocate for mental wellness. In an open letter she wrote for Mental Health Awareness Week in 2018, which she shared with People, she opened up about her mental health struggles.

"Nobody can understand it unless you've been there," she wrote. "Think of your very worst day of your whole life – someone passed away, you lost your job, you found out you were being betrayed, that your child had a rare disease – you can take all of those at once and put them together and that's what depression feels like."

“For everyone mourning the death of someone who committed suicide, an inevitable question arises: Why did this happen? Unfortunately, we don't have very good answers," wrote the musician. "We do know that suicidal behavior accompanies many behavioral brain disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. Suicide is actually one of the leading causes of preventable death among these mental illnesses."

In April, The Judds reunited to give their first awards-show performance in two decades, singing "Love Can Build a Bridge" at the 2022 CMT Music Awards. They had planned on embarking on a grand farewell tour later this year.
