I think her dad worked for Merrill Lynch in whatever state they are from. They moved to Nashville for her and he worked for the Merrill Lynch there before her career took off.

This is according to my daughter.

Not self made. Diane inherited ABC Building Supply from her husband after he died in accident.



ABC supplier always sells us that they are a mom and pop store. I kind of just laugh every time he says that. Yes, the multi billion dollar, nation wide mom and pop store.

Are you suggesting paying Kenny Chesney 400k to let her open on his world tour at the height of his career, paying ghost writers upfront & making them sign NDA’s that give them no writing credits, and owning the tour bus company every country artists leases for touring somehow gave her an advantage?

Surely not.

But I worked for a very successful business where the "owner" had the business 100% in his wife's name so that it was a "female owned business" and therefore the business would qualify easier for contracts. I am sure that there is a lot of that going on out there.


Games probably ain’t played like that on this level

Maybe it helped, but there are a lot of kids whose dads were somebodies yet they are nobodies. Taylor Swift is very talented.

Ha ha.

But, unlike many of these women, she actually did help found the company and was there from the beginning. She owned half from day 1.
