Jessi Colter Net Worth

Jessi Colter, born Mirriam Johnson on May 25, 1943 in Phoenix, Arizona, is an American country music singer and songwriter. She is estimated to have a net worth of $5 million. Colter gained recognition as part of the outlaw country movement in the 1970s, a genre closely associated with her second husband, country music star Waylon Jennings.

Her biggest commercial success came in 1975 with the song "I'm Not Lisa," which topped the Billboard country chart and crossed over to the pop charts. Colter released her debut album, "A Country Star Is Born," in 1970, but it did not achieve major commercial success. After meeting Waylon Jennings, she returned to recording music under the name Jessi Colter and released successful albums throughout the 1970s.

Her music career was deeply connected to the outlaw country movement, with Jennings and other prominent musicians such as Willie Nelson playing significant roles in her development. Colter's distinctive voice and songwriting style set her apart from many of the female country performers of the era. In 1981, she released the duet album "Leather and Lace" with Jennings, which was certified gold.

After Jennings' death in 2008, Colter returned to music in 2006 with "Out of the Ashes," and continued releasing new material until her 12th solo studio album "Edge of Forever" in 2023. Colter also wrote a memoir titled "An Outlaw and a Lady: A Memoir of Music, Life with Waylon, and the Faith That Brought Me Home," which was published in 2017.
