Listen to The Essential 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, after which he decided to take a hiatus to his 4000 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.
