Zach Bryan has recently found himself at the center of public scrutiny following a high-profile breakup with Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.
According to Brianna, Zach’s team offered her $12 million and asked her to sign an NDA to prevent her from sharing details about their relationship. This revelation has sparked curiosity among fans and social media users, who now wonder just how much the country star earns and if he could realistically afford such a substantial payout.
What Is Zach Bryan’s Net Worth?
Estimates of Zach’s net worth vary widely. According to HollywoodLife, sources like Wealthy Overview and Gorilla Overview place him in the $1 million to $1.5 million range. In contrast, Gigwise suggests his worth is significantly higher, somewhere between $10 and $15 million. Considering Bryan’s recent career highs, the higher estimates might be more accurate.
His concert revenues certainly bolster this theory. The “Burn Burn Burn Tour” alone pulled in $43.9 million from just 32 shows, and his “Quittin’ Time Tour” had already amassed a staggering $184 million by June 2023.
Zach’s rise to fame began humbly when he was in the Navy, where he posted videos of himself singing on social media. His talent eventually caught the attention of Warner Records, leading to a record deal in 2021 and his subsequent honorable discharge to pursue music full-time. The rapid transition to fame has been surreal for the Oklahoma native, who still expresses amazement at his own success.
Why Did He Offer Brianna Chickenfry $12 Million?
Following their breakup, Brianna opened up on a November 2024 episode of the “BFFs” podcast, revealing that Zach’s team had approached her with an offer: $12 million in exchange for her silence regarding their relationship. Brianna explained that she was offered a substantial sum over three years on the condition that she wouldn’t discuss her experiences with Zach publicly.
She further elaborated, “They would’ve been monitoring everything that I do. I thought about it for a second, and I think they tend to forget, I was established and successful before [Zach].”
Brianna ultimately declined the offer, citing that it felt like “blood money.” She explained, “I don’t think you can pay people off that you hurt [and expect] them to protect you. Offering millions of dollars to keep this ‘beautiful relationship’ a secret speaks volumes.”
Wrapping up her thoughts on the matter, she added, “I did not accept any money. I will not accept any money. I think it’s beneath me.” Her co-host Dave Portnoy confirmed the “lump sum” amount was indeed around $12 million.
