Jelly Roll's net worth has surged to about $20 million in 2026, even as the Grammy-winning country star, who says he is effectively banned from leaving the United States because of his criminal record, navigates a high-profile divorce from his wife and podcast host Bunnie XO in Tennessee.
For context, the 39-year-old, born Jason DeFord in Nashville, only crossed into mainstream country roughly six years ago after two decades grinding in underground rap and hip-hop. Since then he has notched record-breaking runs on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart, racked up major award wins and nominations, and become a fixture on the country circuit, including multiple nods at the CMA Awards. All of that while carrying a past that includes more than 40 arrests and a lengthy stint behind bars.
