Dolly Parton is proud to say she invested her royalties from “I Will Always Love You” into the Black community.

The Grammy award-winning country singer and songwriter made around $10 million in royalties from the hit and she revealed how she spent the money on  Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

During the Thursday show, host Andy Cohen asked Dolly about the best thing she has ever bought with the royalties she earned from Whitney Houston‘s version of “I Will Always Love You” — a song Dolly, 75, originally wrote and recorded in 1973 as a farewell to her former partner, Porter Wagoner.

“I bought my big office complex down in Nashville. So I thought, ‘Well, this is a wonderful place to be,’ “ Dolly said. “I bought a property down in what was the Black area of town, and it was mostly just Black families and people that lived around there. It was off the beaten path from 16th Avenue and I thought, ‘Well, I am gonna buy this place — the whole strip mall.’ And I thought, ‘This is the perfect place for me to be,’ considering it was Whitney.”

She continued, “I thought this was great — I’m just gonna be down here with her people, who are my people as well. So I just love the fact that I spent that money on a complex and I think, ‘This is the house that Whitney built.’ “

In an interview with PEOPLE last year, Dolly shared how Whitney’s version of the song made her feel as a legit songwriter. “Whitney did such a fantastic job. And I thought, ‘Wow. I wrote that little song.’ That’s when I felt my worth as a songwriter. This is my gift and I’m going to do the best I can with it.”
