A businesswoman from North Carolina, Teresa Earnhardt, who is also the owner of a NASCAR team, has a net worth of $50 million.
Teresa Earnhardt, hailing from Hickory, North Carolina, holds degrees in commercial art and interior design.
She came across Dale Earnhardt, Sr., who was a racecar driver.
In 1982, they tied the knot and were inseparable during their late 70s.
During the late 80s, she was in charge of Dale Earnhardt, Incorporated, for Busch Series Championships and Craftsman Truck Series Championships. She also served as the team’s leader in 2004 and 2005.
Her husband’s tragic death on the final lap of the race resulted in her winning her first Daytona race as a NASCAR owner.
After her husband’s death, several sponsors withdrew their funding, and she subsequently merged Dale Earnhardt, Incorporated with Chip Ganassi Racing, to establish Earnhardt Ganassi Racing.
Jamie McMurray led the new team to their first Daytona victory in 2010.
