Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is not just a country music icon but also a shrewd entrepreneur. Her most notable venture is Dollywood, a theme park in Tennessee that celebrates Southern culture and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the U.S. She also oversees a production company responsible for films and shows, including the Netflix series “Heartstrings.” Her philanthropic efforts are equally impressive, with the Imagination Library program, which has donated millions of books to children across the world.
