Wynonna Judd is an American country music singer who has a net worth of $12 million dollars. She first rose to fame in the 1980s alongside her mother Naomi in the country music duo The Judds before she launched a solo career in the early '90s.
Early Life
Wynonna Judd was born Christina Claire Ciminella on May 30, 1964 in Ashland, Kentucky. Her mother was singer Naomi Judd. She was given the last name Ciminella after Michael Ciminella, whom her mother had married quickly after being abandoned by her boyfriend and Judd's biological father, Charles Jordan, who died in 2000. Her younger half-sister is the actress Ashley Judd. The family moved to Los Angeles in 1968, but Naomi and Michael were divorced by 1972. In 1976, Wynonna and Naomi were living in Kentucky, where Wynonna was gaining inspiration from the country music her mother always had playing, and learned to play guitar after getting one for Christmas.
The Judds
In 1979 the Judds moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a musical career together as the mother-daughter duo The Judds. Between 1983 and 1991, The Judds charted 23 hit singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles charts, including 14 number ones. They also recorded eight studio albums, one Christmas album and two Greatest Hits compilations. In their six-year career, The Judds sold more than 20 million records worldwide and had won over 60 industry awards, including five Grammy Nominations, nine County Music Association awards (seven of them consecutive), and eight Billboard Music Awards. For a while, they were the biggest-selling duo in country music and remained so until they were eclipsed by Brooks & Dunn in the '90s.
A chronic bout of hepatitis C forced Naomi into an early retirement following a 1991 farewell tour. Wynonna and her mother reunited in 1999 for a New Year's Eve concert sponsored by K-Mart. They embarked on a tour together in 2000, and four new Judds songs were released. They reunited in 2010 for "The Last Encore," an 18-city tour. As a result of the successful tour, they released a new album together in April 2011, "I Will Stand by You: The Essential Collection," which featured two new songs and twelve of their greatest hits.
