Oh wow! Just imagine what they think about us. That matters just as much as what we think about them. We may not like them, but most of them do more for society than we do. I can’t remember the last time I gave a million dollars to tornado recovery efforts, or any other crisis.
You oughta be close to a million if you add up all of your 2 cents.

Toby goes overseas to put on concerts for the troops to gain notoriety only.
He owens a restaurant and a new server working there sees him come on and go to his upstairs table where his friends drink. New server co.es and asks for his autograph and he fires her on the spot. True story.

Nothing like posting rumors... Facts and first hand accounts, much more useful.

Garths half brother Jim Smittle of Owasso have been friends of my wife and I for a very long time. Jim’s wife and mine go back to Will Rogers HS in the 60s as friends. I was Jim’s principal for 2 yrs during his career in education.
We have been in Garths home in Owasso back when he was located in Owasso for dinner. We were on his 46 ft house boat he had on the large pond at the same location as an invitation. We have had breakfast with him and Trisha at Hugos in Claremore. They both attended our church in Owasso. We have received complimentary tickets to his shows here, in Kansas City, and Trisha provided complimentary tickets to her concert at the Choctaw Casino on US 69 south of Durant. We have been backstage both here and my wife in Kansas City.
Why do I list all the above? I do because I know the man and his wife FAR better than you and ego is not him when it comes to music. As for his NET worth my wife made a call and was told it’s north of168 million as of 2018. People that speculate about stars are often wrong about them because they really don’t know much about them.
I disagree, why would someone with that kind of money want to perform anywhere ever again ? Sure as heck isn’t because he needs to work ! He is a marketing guru and wants to keep his name in the lights, I do understand that because we ALL like some kind of recognition ! I played in a band for a couple of very popular entertainers in my time and being on stage and playing a lead break and walking up to the front of the stage to get the crowd fired up is very addicting. Sounds to me like you got a bit star struck. garth brooks is a ball of fire on stage and that keeps the crowd fired up and he is addicted just like anyone else

Because they like it? What's the saying, if 3 million is enough, you will never have 3 million.

Never cared for Garth anyway, dad. And yeah, I really started hating him when he stumped for McCurdy the gun grabber. So many entertainers are left-wing nutjobs you can't avoid them all. When someone blatantly opposes you, it's kinda dumb to keep giving them money though.

Remember Reba's anti-gun campaign? Offered a free ticket to a Tulsa show for a gun turned in. Pawnshop on Memorial offered 10% off any gun if you brought a Reba album in lol. May her and Garth never find a cure for their herpes.

We had a member on here back in the day that owned property adjacent to Garths. He deer hunted on his property and got major flack from him. Don’t remember all the details.

Yep, and they sure love to let people know when they donate that money. The right thing would be to donate it anonymously. But they wouldn’t get any credit for it then.


I know for a fact that Garth helped a family stranded in Tulsa years ago during Christmas. Their car blew an engine while they were on their way cross country to be with relatives. What did he do? Bought them a brand new car, and had it delivered! He did not know them nor had he ever met them.

if you are referring to his ranch near Owasso I have been on that property. Every foot of it is fenced with 6 foot chain link fencing and barbed wire on top of that. The guy would have had to cut through that fence in order to “ hunt” on it. Fishy story at least!

Reminds me of that movie A "Bronx Tale " ...When the gangster tells the kid..."Will Micky Mantle pay your rent ....Garth cares about himself,

<iframe width="689" height="420" src="" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>



he is a phoney especially with Vet's...Once,... pop in with full TV crew get the pictures, the crippled Vet & family crying, overwhelmed with surprise, emotion.. ( Donate the latest tax write off, $$$$ Depending on amount need to back off IRS...+ Plus time and TV crew expense ) Got it picture and 2 minutes of time ...and gone just as fast....never to be seen or heard from again WTF was that.. Now use THOSE pictures to promote himself for more gain...like a cheap day time game show he gives away a cheap car, stove, washer...

This is not the help Vet's need.
