LeAnn Rimes and Dean Shermet invested $1.7 million in a three-acre estate in Nashville. Subsequently, they sold this property in 2008 for $2.125 million upon moving into their opulent custom-built mansion nearby.

LeAnn Rimes' Career Journey

LeAnn Rimes' entry into the mainstream music scene is often attributed to Bill Mack, a disc jockey, who crafted the hit song "Blue" for her when she was just 13. The song, recorded in 1994, paved the way for her first record deal with Curb in 1996. 

Despite a mix-up in releasing the wrong version initially, "Blue" reached number ten on the charts, and Rimes' debut album of the same name soared to the top of the Country charts. Hit singles like "One Way Ticket" and "The Cattle Call" further solidified her success, earning her a Grammy award at the age of 14 and drawing comparisons to Patsy Cline.

In 1997, LeAnn released the compilation album "Unchained Melody: The Early Years," showcasing her diverse talent with unreleased tracks spanning both pop and country genres. The success continued with "You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs," which went four times platinum later that year.  

Rimes' third studio album, "Sittin' On Top Of The World" (1998), received mixed reviews but achieved platinum status. Taking a turn back to her country roots, her self-titled album in 1999 featured covers of Patsy Cline hits and garnered critical acclaim.  

In 2000, LeAnn embraced a more mainstream, pop-influenced sound, contributing to the soundtrack of the film "Coyote Ugly" with the international hit "Can't Fight the Moonlight." The subsequent release, "I Need You" (2001), faced challenges, as it was put together without her knowledge using past recording outtakes.

LeAnn's ninth studio album, "Family," marked both commercial and critical success in 2007, featuring diverse genres and collaborations with artists like Bon Jovi. The years that followed saw the release of the cover albums "Ladies & Gentlemen" (2011), "Spitfire" (2013), and "Remnants" (2016).
