Ricky Chilton

Who IS RICKY CHILTON? Richard Waylon Chiltonson, better known by his stage name, “Ricky Chilton”, was born in the back of a ‘91 Bronco on a hot Georgia evening in August. After serving in the Iraq war at just 5 years old, doing two tours in Al-Qa’im, he went on to begin his music career in Nashville. After a brief stint in prison, Chilton found himself opening for the late great Toby Keith a record-breaking 314 times. Afterward, he decided to take a hiatus at his 4,000-acre ranch in Miami, Texas. There, he discovered he was homesteading on a field of approximately 340 million barrels of crude oil. He became one of the wealthiest independent children in America at just 11 years old, having a net worth of $278 million. Neither fame nor money would change him, because according to Chilton, “I ain’t no fancy boy”.

Now, 13 years later, after having lost 99% of his entire net worth playing slots, he is resuming his music career. He is currently recording his debut album.
