So, what is the secret to Carrie Underwood’s $140 million empire? It is a lethal cocktail of talent, hard work, savvy investing, and an unshakable belief that she can do anything. She took a karaoke contest victory and turned it into a multinational corporation. She is the Beyoncé of country music, except she’s from Oklahoma and probably knows how to change a tire.

But deep down, she’s still just a girl from a small town who likes to hit the high notes and hit the bank. And she does both very, very well. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go check my couch cushions for spare change.
