Kenny Chesney’s home was likely destroyed by Tennessee’s devastating floods. But the good news is he can probably afford to replace it. Chesney made an estimated $50 million in the last year to rank No. 1 on the Forbes magazine list of country music’s Top 10 moneymakers. That’s $15 million less than Kenny’s estimated earnings for the previous year, but still $2 million more than No. 2 Toby Keith and $5 million more than Taylor Swift or Rascal Flatts, who tied for No. 3. According to the magazine, Taylor had the highest gains. Her income was $27 million more than the previous year. Also on the upswing were Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and Alan Jackson. Those on the decline were Chesney, Keith, Rascal Flatts and Carrie Underwood. Forbes’ Top-Earning Country Music Stars:
