Jason Aldean's net worth in 2024 comes largely from singing about small towns, but his fortune is more akin to big-city bigwigs.

The country crooner is one of the highest earners in the genre, thanks to brand deals (like Teabird, an alcoholic sweet tea, and his own line of bourbon) and especially to touring, as well as smart real estate deals.

Citing his management and PR teams for music and general managers of his restaurants, Aldean explained to R&L Wealth Partners , "Surrounding yourself with the right team, the right people who have the same vision as you, that's the key to any successful business."

Find out Jason Aldean's net worth and how he made it.

How did Jason Aldean become famous?

Jason Aldean was born Jason Aldine Williams on Feb. 28, 1977, in Macon, Georgia. His father taught him to play guitar at a young age, and he began performing at local VFW halls when he was just 14, then expanded to local talent contests and venues. He used a form of his middle name as a stage name to differentiate himself from other Jason Williamses, and he began writing and performing original songs after high school.

Aldean first moved to Nashville in 1998 when he signed with Warner-Chappell, but was dropped before achieving major success, then signed and dropped from another label in 2000 after his recording sessions kept getting moved. His debut self-titled album was released in 2005, bolstered by No. 1 Hot Country Songs single "Why" and several other charting hits, including "Hicktown" and "Amarillo Sky." The album sold 1 million copies and was certified platinum.

Aldean followed up with his sophomore album Relentless , which was also certified platinum, and he's been going strong ever since.

Aldean achieved more mainstream notoriety in October 2017 for tragic reasons: The largest-scale mass shooting in American history occurred while he was onstage at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, killing 60 and injuring 867. Days later, Aldean performed a cover of Tom Petty 's "I Won't Back Down" on Saturday Night Live in tribute to the victims and survivors.

What is Jason Aldean's net worth in 2024?

Jason Aldean's net worth in 2024 is estimated at $80 million, per Celebrity Net Worth . Some of that comes not just from his touring, but also from selling his catalog to Spirit Music for a reported $100 million.

"As artists, we all want to own our music. I think I can kind of speak for all artists when I say, that's a piece of art, we created it and we made it, and it sucks that someone else gets ownership of that forever," he told R&L Wealth Partners . "For me, I've redone my deal a few times where I've signed on to do more albums, and each time, I've wanted to go back in. I wanted to own more of my stuff."

He added that his record label has been a great partner in garnering ownership of his art.

"Obviously the reason you want to own that, that's almost like a retirement plan," Aldean explained. "So honestly, I didn't even know that I wanted to really sell it. I just put some feelers out to see if anyone was interested, and it turned out alright!"

How much money does Jason Aldean make per concert?

Aldean has raked in as much as $1 million per show, making touring his most lucrative business venture by far.

It's not publicly known how much Aldean makes from Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Bar, but he doesn't see other country acts like Reba McEntire , Garth Brooks , Miranda Lambert , Kid Rock or Blake Shelton as competition in terms of Nashville joints.

"I don't know that anybody's competition," Aldean told FOX Business in May 2024. "I mean, I think down there, when you have all those bars, there's so many people in Nashville, so many people moving there every day and visiting every day that it's almost like you have to have all those bars just to accommodate everybody. Because honestly, if you go in any of those places any day of the week at night, they're all doing pretty well."

Does Jason Aldean have his own restaurant?

In fact, he's got three! Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Bar has three locations: One each in Nashville and Gatlinburg, Tenn., and one in Pittsburgh, Penn.

Where did the Aldeans buy in Florida?

What properties does Jason Aldean own?

In addition to his Turks and Caicos and Florida homes, Aldean also owns properties in Georgia and Tennessee.

"We just like real estate and buying things and using them for a few years, enjoy them, then we'll sell 'em. We always say that we do things for this season of our life," Aldean previously told Taste of Country . "While we're in the mood, it's like, 'Hey, let's go do this and do that for a little while, then we'll sell it and go do something else for a little while."
