Brad Akins Net Worth 2026

Brad Akins owns Akins Ford in Winder, Georgia, which the dealership says was the No. 1 Ford retail dealer in the United States for 2025. No reputable outlet publishes a net worth figure for him, and the $7 million number this page used to show had no source, so it has been removed. What is on record is a family dealership founded in 1966 with more than 500 employees, a ten-year arena naming-rights deal, and a NASCAR team he co-founded in 1992.

What is Brad Akins's net worth?

There is no published estimate from Forbes, Automotive News or any other credible outlet, and Akins has not disclosed his finances. Akins Ford is privately owned and does not publish revenue or profit, so any exact figure is a guess.

The scale of the business is clearer. In January 2026 Akins Ford said it had been ranked the top Ford retail dealership in America for 2025, the first Georgia dealer to earn that ranking. It says it carries more than 2,000 new Fords in stock and employs more than 500 people (Akins Ford press release via PR Newswire). Those are the company's own figures, but they point to a very large single-point dealership. How much of its value belongs to Brad Akins personally is not public.

Brad Akins's yearly earnings and income

The old page listed a yearly income of $350,000, a monthly income of $29,000 and a daily income of $972. None of those numbers came from a source, and they have been removed. Dealer principals are typically paid through the profits of their stores, which private dealerships do not report.

His known business interests are:

• Akins Ford, Winder, Georgia, founded in 1966 and family-owned (PR Newswire). The old page also called it "Akins Ford Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram"; the current business presents itself as a Ford dealership.
• Wild Willies Custom Accessories, the dealership's in-house customization division, which fits lift kits, wheels, tires and bed covers that buyers can roll into their financing (PR Newswire).
• Akins Motorsports, a NASCAR team he co-founded in 1992 (see below).

Early life and family

Akins Ford was founded in 1966, and the dealership describes itself as family-owned and rooted in Barrow County (PR Newswire). Wikipedia describes Brad Akins in the early 1990s as the owner of several Georgia car dealerships (Wikipedia). We could not find a reliable source for his birth date, his parents' names or how the business passed to him, so the old page's story about his father's business and a stay-at-home mother has been removed.

Brad Akins's wife

The old page said he is married to a woman named Sarah. We could not confirm that in any reliable source, so it is not repeated here.

Education

The old page said he graduated from Winder-Barrow High School and then earned undergraduate and master's degrees. We found no source for any of this and have removed it.

Professional life

The NASCAR team

Akins co-founded the team in 1992 with Bob Sutton, who handled its finances; Akins also worked on the pit crew. Based in Mooresville, North Carolina, it ran in the Busch Series (now the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series) and was best known for the Great Clips-sponsored No. 38 car. Drivers included Bobby Hamilton, Elton Sawyer and Kasey Kahne, and the team won three races (Wikipedia). Kahne later said Akins and general manager Doug Stringer were the ones who pushed to make the 2003 program happen, at a time when other Ford team owners were less interested (Speedway Media). Stringer took full ownership in 2005, and the team merged into Braun Racing in 2006.

Akins Ford Arena

In August 2024 The Classic Center in Athens, Georgia, named its new arena Akins Ford Arena under a ten-year naming-rights deal. The venue hosts concerts and the Athens Rock Lobsters hockey team. The Classic Center's CEO thanked Brad Akins by name when it was announced, and the dealership has been a partner of the center since 2014 (WUGA).

Community

A YMCA branch in Winder, run by the YMCA of Georgia's Piedmont, carries his name, the Brad Akins Branch on Brad Akins Drive (Barrow County Chamber of Commerce). The dealership also says it is an eight-time J.D. Power Dealer of Excellence Diamond Status winner (PR Newswire).

Age, height and weight

No reliable source gives Brad Akins's birth date, height or weight. The figures on the old page (68 years old, 5 feet 6 inches, 82 kg) had no source and have been removed.

Why there is no reliable figure

Akins Ford is private, so its revenue, profit, real estate and debt are not public. A national sales ranking and 500-plus staff suggest a valuable business, but the value of the dealership, the land it sits on and his share of it have never been reported. Until a credible outlet publishes a figure, his net worth is unknown.
