What's Jay Demarcus's net worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jay DeMarcus has a net worth of $60 million. It didn't just happen when he joined Rascal Flatts, though.

Way before that in 1992, he started a contemporary Christian music group called East to West. At that point, he knew the best thing for him to do was to relocate to Nashville. He produced Michael English's gospel album from there which ended up getting nominated for a Dove award.

Being a producer is obviously something he knows well since he was able to produce albums for James Otto, Chicago, Austins Bridge, and Jo Dee Messina. By the time Rascal Flatts was being formed in 1999, he was totally ready for the big leagues. Since the group started things up, they’ve released nine studio albums and have garnered massive respect. The reason they’re so highly revered is that 26 of their singles were able to reach the top 20 on the Billboard Hot Country song chart.
