Brian Edward Kelley was born on 26 August 1985, in Ormond Beach, Florida USA. He is a musician, probably best known as a member of the country duo Florida Georgia Line; they’ve performed around the USA and released a few albums, helping to put his net worth to where it is now.
How rich is Brian Kelley? As of mid-2016, sources estimate a net worth that is at $25 million, mostly earned through a successful career in music.

Brian Kelley Net Worth $25 Million Dollars
At a young age, Brian was involved in sports and writing. As he got older, he started to develop an interest in music, and began writing it as well. This was helped by the fact that he led worship and performed at his church. He then became familiar with country songs which fuelled his interest even further. He attended Seabreeze High School, and by the time he was ready to matriculate in 2004, he was split between playing baseball professionally and writing music. Kelley was actually drafted by the Miami Marlins, but didn’t play much so he wrote music, and then decided to move to Belmont University.
While at Belmont, he met Tyler Hubbard who was part of the local campus worship group. They became good friends and started playing and writing songs together. In 2009, they decided to pursue a career in music, and produced their first EP entitled “Anything Like Me”.
After the release, they were discovered by Joey Moi who’s best known for being the producer of Nickelback. In the next two years they would improve their skills and release their second EP entitled “It’z Just What We Do”. Their debut single entitled “Cruise” began sold well, and they were offered a record deal by Republic Nashville/Big Machine Label Group. Around this time, Brian also had a publishing deal with Big Loud Shirt. They then released their first studio album in December 2012 entitled “Here’s to the Good Times”, which became the sixth best-selling album of 2013, and the single “Cruise” reached the top spot on the Country Airplay charts. Even a remix that featured Nelly hit the fourth spot of the Billboard Hot 100 – the song would go on and sell over seven million copies while retaining the top spot for 24 weeks, becoming the best-selling digital country song of all time. Other hit singles from the album include “This is How We Roll”, “Stay” and “Get Your Shine On”. In 2014, they released a second album entitled “Anything Goes”, with its first single entitled “Dirt”. Other songs in the album include “Sippin’ on Fire” and “Sun Daze”.
Eventually the duo established a company called Tree Vibez music, since when they’ve signed a few writers and artists to the company. Brian’s net worth is still rising.
For his personal life, it is known the Kelley married Brittney Marie Cole in 2013.
