Introduction
Country music duo Brooks & Dunn recently recalled the surprising moment they each became millionaires, just seconds apart. Appearing on The Bobby Bones Show, Ronnie Dunn explained that they were on their bus and received royalty checks on the same day.
Dunn opened his first, realizing its significant value. He exclaimed to Kix Brooks, “Whoa, Kix, I just became a millionaire!” Brooks, initially disbelieving, then opened his own check and replied, “Yeah, me too.”
Kix Brooks added that the checks “literally came in the mail with two commas on it, and a number in front of it. Nothing more fun than literally being broke on your ass your whole life and walking back with a check with two commas on it.”
Brooks & Dunn’s rise to success began in 1991 with their first single, “Brand New Man,” which went straight to No. 1. Since then, they have enjoyed a decades-long career filled with hits, accumulating substantial fortunes well beyond their initial million-dollar milestone.
