<p>Dolly Parton enjoyed a hugely successful career and died with a net worth of millions and a legacy that will live on for decades to come. Months after cancelling her Las Vegas residency, the legendary singer breathed her last at the age of 80 after a brief battle with cancer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Parton left behind a fabulous life. But did you know about the modest beginnings of the singer, who grew up in a one-bedroom cabin in Tennessee?</p><h3>Dolly Parton's childhood, was spent living with 11 siblings and more</h3><p>Parton's larger-than-life career gave her more than she could have ever imagined, but all of it was achieved through hard work. Born to Robert Lee Parton (who went by Lee) and Avie Lee Parton, she spent her childhood in a small home in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lee was a sharecropper and did construction jobs to make ends meet, and her mother was a homemaker. And she grew up with not one or two, but 12 children. She grew up with her siblings in a one-bedroom cabin. While the family was very poor, as Dolly herself said, she never felt a lack of worth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read</strong>: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/dolly-parton-s-i-will-always-love-you-how-a-farewell-became-a-global-anthem-1787733570453">Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You: How a farewell became a global anthem</a></p>

Country icon Dolly Parton, who died at 80 on August 25 with an estimated net worth of $450 million, came from extremely humble beginnings. Growing up in a one-bedroom cabin with 11 siblings, she went on to become one of the most successful singers. 

Dolly Parton enjoyed a hugely successful career and died with a net worth of millions and a legacy that will live on for decades to come. Months after cancelling her Las Vegas residency, the legendary singer breathed her last at the age of 80 after a brief battle with cancer. Parton left behind a fabulous life. But did you know about the modest beginnings of the singer, who grew up in a one-bedroom cabin in Tennessee? Dolly Parton's childhood, was spent living with 11 siblings and more Parton's larger-than-life career gave her more than she could have ever imagined, but all of it was achieved through hard work. Born to Robert Lee Parton (who went by Lee) and Avie Lee Parton, she spent her childhood in a small home in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Lee was a sharecropper and did construction jobs to make ends meet, and her mother was a homemaker. And she grew up with not one or two, but 12 children. She grew up with her siblings in a one-bedroom cabin. While the family was very poor, as Dolly herself said, she never felt a lack of worth.
