Just so you know, we were joking about Patti LaBelle gaining fame through cooking. We know very well that LaBelle is an enormously successful R&B singer with a couple Grammy awards to her credit (via AllMusic). But still, the pie royalties must be contributing significantly to her net worth. After all, the sweet potato pie is still a hot seller at Walmart. According to an article published this month by Food & Wine, Walmart still sells Patti LaBelle sweet potato pies at a rate of almost one every two seconds. While that kind of sales rate might conjure images of those lines of customers waiting for their unpriced pies in 2015, keep in mind Walmart has thousands of stores in the U.S., and the retailer typically sells two pumpkin pies per second in November, according to Yahoo!
After the sweet success of sweet potato pie, LaBelle and Walmart shrewdly agreed to expand their product line, which now includes southern buttermilk pie, peach cobbler, bread pudding, and banana pudding, according to Food & Wine. And LaBelle's sweet potato pie can still make your Thanksgiving menu in 2020. Check your local Walmart for availability. The pie is still priced right, at $3.98 for a pie that weighs one pound and five ounces.
