YNRA 1,082 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 i think the most wealthy kpop idol is worth less then 10mil and many of them are worth nothing tbh and are actually in debt or havent broken even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1 U Need Connoisseur 6,671 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 no. even someone of gd's caliber only makes like half a mill $ from writing songs a year(depending on releases). there was an article released saying that BB was only worth about 33m dollars total(all their assets combined). If even GD makes that little, image how much lower idols make. Melon songs were said to only give artist like 0.001c per song(I think it was that much) and the majority goes to the company and writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsmee 2,656 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 they def not as rich as people say not even western artist are as rich as expected I agree with the user above, the richest one of them probably as a net worth of 10-15 million kpop doesn't have a big margin profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sickwithsin 11,102 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Don't most music companies charge training fees? There's also housing, staff and production costs that have to come out of the money the group makes. I doubt that a person could get rich off of solely being an idol. Most of them write, produce, act, and endorse products, etc to bring in more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurahanabira 6,633 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 No. Why do you think some groups take years to fully pay off all their trainee debts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yume 3,886 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 i think the most wealthy kpop idol is worth less then 10mil and many of them are worth nothing tbh and are actually in debt or havent broken even There are definetly kpop idols worth more than 10mil. Junsu's hotel alone is worth $25 mil and I'm pretty sure other idols like GD, Boa are also worth more than $10 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover. 10,048 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Wasn't Junsu the richest idol when those stats came out? or was it speculation only? Well it was all based in real estate, investments and their publicy revealed income. I believe its true, JYJ toured so much in Japan and he owns pretty expensive cars+real estate. I would include BoA too since she seems to own tons of land and land is expensive asf in SK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoOnceVelvet 1,095 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Rich if you put into KRW but when it comes to USD, and compare it to like JB, TSwift, Beyonce and shiz, yeah no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1syankar5 682 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 the average idol? no. unless they're bigbang or exo i doubt they make that much. they usually have debts from their trainee days too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yknok 3,825 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Those who can get foreign revenues are rich since that is where the money is. Those who can't are not doing great,although for some inexplicable reason Jang Bumjun and KPop's least useful singer are not doing that badly.
