Country music icon Toby Keith, famous for chart toppers like Red Solo Cup and Should Have Been a Cowboy, has recently passed away at the age of 62. The singer-songwriter who battled stomach cancer since his diagnosis in 2022 peacefully departed on Monday night as reported in a statement shared by his family on X, formerly Twitter.

Prior to his passing, Toby lived in a unique and impressive mansion located in Oklahoma. The country star remained in his home state throughout his whole life and with a property like that, it's not hard to see why. Family was also important to Toby and he shared this stunning six-bedroom home with his long-time wife Trisha and their three children. Toby Keith Covel was born in 1961 in Clinton, Oklahoma. Raised in a family that cherished the values of hard work and patriotism, Keith's early years laid the foundation for the themes that would resonate throughout his music career. Growing up in the heartland of America, Keith developed a deep appreciation for the country way of life. His grandmother's love for music became a significant influence, sparking his interest in playing musical instruments. Early exposure to the sounds of country legends like Meryl Haggard and Hank Williams Sr. fueled his passion for the genre. Toby's journey in the music industry began in the 90s when he burst onto the scene with his debut single, Should Have Been a Cowboy, in 1993. The song quickly climbed the charts and earned him the title of most played country song of the decade. This early success set the stage for a career marked by chart-topping hits and a distinctive musical style that blended traditional country with a modern edge. His sophomore album, Boomtown, solidified his standing in the country music scene. As he continued to release hit after hit, including How Do You Like Me Now and courtesy of the red, white and blue, the angry American, Keith's music became related to unapologetic patriotism, raw emotion, and a touch of humor. It said that Toby's net worth stands at a whopping $365 million or more at the time of his passing. He sold over 40 million records over his career and made smart investments along the way. In fact, he also would have staked in big machine records, a label that has signed major artists like Tim McGraw, Roscoe Flats, and even Taylor Swift. Even throughout his rising career, Toby Keith has always placed a high value on family. In 1984, he married Trisha Lucas, his high school sweetheart. They met in the halls of Moore High School in Oklahoma and it turned into a lifelong partnership. The couple has three children together, Shelley, Crystal, and Stalyn. Despite the demands of a music career that often kept him on the road, Keith remained devoted to his family. Having a delicate balance between the stage and the warmth of home, family's tight knit bond became a source of inspiration for some of Keith's songs, offering fans a glimpse into his personal life. The singer's ability to infuse his music with authenticity and relatable experiences contributed to the connection he shares with his audience. Sadly, Toby Keith has passed away at the age of 62 following a battle with stomach cancer since 2022. He spoke about his diagnosis in September 2023 stating that his cancer struggle is a little bit of a roller coaster. You get good days and you know you're up and down, up and down. It's always 0 to 60 and 60 to 0 but I feel good today. In December 2023, Keith played his first official headlining shows since he shared his diagnosis at the Park MGM in Las Vegas. Over the years, Keith played for US presidents including George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. In 2021, he was also awarded the National Medal of the Arts by Trump. Now, when it comes to where he lived before his passing, Toby's mansion in the heart of America resembles the heartland lifestyle he loves so much. His home boasts a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort while being surrounded by the rolling landscapes of Oklahoma. Let's take a look. In 2006, Toby Keith purchased his unique, isolated mansion in Norman, Oklahoma for $15 million. This mega-home spends 10,000 square feet of space as well as 175 acres of land. Honestly, this property has everything one could need and want so it's no surprise that Toby and his family have enjoyed this place for many years. Not only are there countless bedrooms, there are also features like a home theater, bowling alley, a stunning swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts, stables, a shooting range and a guest house. Toby's family mansion was isolated in Norman and the ranch offered up five bedrooms along with six bathrooms and extra living space inside a guest house on the property too. The exterior is made of brick and out front, there's a huge patio with a swing and rocking chairs. Inside, the mansion's decked out in a southwestern design with plenty of wood and leather furnishings throughout. One of the main living rooms boasts high ceilings in a cozy fireplace as well as western art on the walls and dark wooden furniture. In Toby's private office, he also had a wall just for his awards and trust me, there are so many of them. His favorite was his award from his songwriter Hall of Fame. Toby also had a large bar in his mansion where he could entertain and relax. It was actually in a cabana near the pool with a separate building in itself with plenty of room to lounge. Not to mention a sprawling garage with room for all of his toys and luxury vehicles. I mean, just look at all of the cars he had, including classic cars in amazing condition like a white Oldsmobile 73 cutlass. Reportedly, Toby's garage held at least 10 cars. Of course, I mentioned this sprawling also had all the necessary rooms like a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and plenty of cooking space. And nearby, there was a formal dining room with room for up to 20 guests. Aside from Toby and his wife's master suite, the other four bedrooms were also equipped with their own bathrooms. The swimming pool was stunning and even included rock waterfalls, fountain features, a slide and a projector screen set up above. There was also a hot tub back here, multiple terraces, this spacious cabana building in the nearby guest house. In fact, property is so sprawling and to surprise that all of it is so perfectly cupped and landscaped with rolling green lawns, trees and much more. This peaceful property ensured the ultimate privacy for Keith and his family and with all of its features, you'd never even have to leave. Other highlights included a games room with pool table, dartboard and more, a home theater, a wine cellar with an impressive collection, as well as a recording studio, which you might expect from Keith. There were also spots like a fully equipped gym, a sauna and a steam room. For those times, you'd rather relax. It seems like everybody in the country music realm has been touched by the late Toby Keith in some way, even megastar Taylor Swift. Swift, while she's now arguably one of the biggest stars across the globe, she was once just a teen show key singer talents at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville back in 2004. It was during this period that Scott Borchetta, then a DreamWorks record exec, discovered her, impressed by her undeniable talent, Borchetta envision signing her to his new record label. The only hitch, he didn't have a record label at the time. Enter Toby Keith. In 2005, Toby made a significant move by leaving his previous label DreamWorks and establishing his own show dog Nashville. While this decision led to the closure of DreamWorks, it laid the groundwork for Toby to not only release his own music, but to sign up and coming talent like Randy Hauser, Joe Nichols and more. This new label was crucial when Borchetta decided to start his own label too after DreamWorks. Leaving to form Big Machine Label Group, Borchetta entered into a unique partnership with show dog Nashville, Toby's label. The collab resulted in the labels being deemed sister companies with Big Machine utilizing show dogs entire promo staff. These two coming together resulted in the signing of Taylor Swift as the first artist under Big Machine Label Group. Although the collab between Big Machine and show dog had a brief run leading to their split in 2006, additionally, Keith's foray into the beverage industry includes his partnership with Wild Shot Mescal, a brand of premium mescal. It's clear that Toby has had a handful of smart decisions, other than his million of record sales and royalties to contribute to his success and massive net worth. While Toby Keith has left us too early with his passing at the age of only 62, the country star will leave quite the legacy behind.
