Wow. This is wrong. Actually he ranks 4 out of the 4 Highwayman. Where did you get this information?

Well, it would be my guess to start off with because he wrote so many songs and had a Hollywood career also and because he is notably intelligent (Rhodes Scholar). Also, I know that Jesse Colter auctioned off all of Waylon's stuff in 2014, which certainly can't bode well for the size of the estate he left.

Some simple googling around for net worth yields the following:

Kris - $160 million

Willie - $25 Million

As a comparison, Hank Jr. (often thought to be "the 5th highwayman") is listed at $45 Million.

Johnny - Hard to tell, but looks like 100-150 million when he died

Waylon - Hard to know exactly what they mean, but estimates $7M when he died
