Trace Adkins took home the top prize on Celebrity Apprentice, awarded $250,000 for his charity of choice, the Red Cross, by the show's creator and host, Donald Trump. Adkins beat out magician Penn Jillette, who came in second place.
The season finale featured an ice cream face-off between Adkins and Jillette:
"Going into this last task, I think I delivered the best ice cream, I made the best commercial, I put on the best show, I brought in the biggest celebrities, and I raised the most money," boasted Trace on the program.
The country star's ice cream business got some big help in the form of a $300,000 donation from quarterback Tim Tebow. Others to help him included Billy Ray Cyrus and Thompson Square.
The Red Cross is a cause dear to Adkins, as the charity helped his family in 2011 when his house burned down.
