- Est. net worth: ~$20 million
Jin takes a slightly different path from his bandmates. As the eldest member, he was the first to complete military service and the first to return to public life. He has leaned into variety show appearances, food-related business ventures, and brand deals with Gucci, Alo Yoga, and French jeweller FRED.
Jin co-owns a Japanese restaurant with his brother, and his property holdings are estimated at around $5 million. Each member of BTS was granted 68,385 HYBE shares prior to the company's 2020 IPO. While Jin previously sold a portion of his shares in late 2021 (selling 16,000 shares for roughly $4.5 million), his remaining equity stake and steady post-discharge brand partnerships continue to underpin his fortune.
6. Jimin — Park Jimin (~$20–22 million)

- Est. net worth: ~$20–22 million
Jimin broke through as a solo artist with Face (2023), which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, followed by Muse in 2024. His Dior and Tiffany & Co. partnerships place him squarely in the luxury tier of K-pop endorsements, and he added Korean beauty brand LADOR to his deal sheet in late 2025.
While early reports highlighted the equity held by the group's younger line, regulatory filings show that several BTS members—including RM, Jin, and J-Hope—divested parts of their HYBE shares in late 2021 before the group's temporary hiatus. Jimin's consistent brand activity, major endorsement deals, and growing solo streaming catalogue continue pushing his net worth upward post-reunion.
5. RM — Kim Namjoon (~$22–25 million)

RM's personal art collection, featuring works from Korean and international artists, is considered a significant investment asset. RM has an estimated net worth of $22–25 million. He is the main creative brain behind over 200 BTS songs, which means he earns steady royalty checks from his writing and producing work.
Asked what he wishes to do most after military discharge, RM said he wants to make music and return to the stage quickly. Some outlets place him as the outright richest BTS member once HYBE equity and songwriting royalties are fully factored in.
4. Suga — Min Yoongi ($25–30 million)

- Est. net worth: $25–30 million
Min Yoongi, known as Suga, reportedly has a net worth similar to J-Hope, estimated at around $70 million. His wealth comes primarily from prolific songwriting and production credits across BTS's discography, plus his acclaimed solo output under the Agust D alias.
During the hiatus, Suga released multiple Agust D projects that generated independent album sales, streaming royalties, and associated merchandise revenue. The record producer chose to perform public service in lieu of military service, completing his duties last among the seven members in June 2025.
3. J-Hope — Jung Hoseok ($30–50+ million)

- Est. net worth: $30–50 million+
J-Hope has long been considered one of the wealthiest BTS members due to his early solo success, high-profile real estate investments, and extensive songwriting credits. Real estate plays a major role in his fortune; he owns multiple luxury properties in Seoul, including high-value units in the prestigious Seoul Forest Trimage and Nine One Hannam complexes.
The South Korean rapper also earns heavily through songwriting, music production, and major brand partnerships, including his role as Louis Vuitton's House Ambassador. As the first member to officially release a solo studio album (Jack in the Box) and perform headline festival sets, his ongoing tour revenues and royalty streams keep his actual net worth near the top of the group.

Jungkook stands as the second-richest member of BTS. His net worth is estimated at about $35 million. His first solo hit was the album Golden, which debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200. A global face of Calvin Klein, a major portion of his income also comes from brand deals, besides songwriting, streaming royalties, and BTS album and tour revenues.
As one of three members who reportedly held all of their original HYBE share allotments through 2025, Jungkook earned a spot on South Korea's list of top 100 stockholders under 30. Still the youngest BTS member, his earning trajectory is the steepest of the group.

- Est. net worth: $40–50 million
V is a South Korean actor, singer, and songwriter with a net worth of $50 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth (updated August 2026). As of 2025, V's estimated net worth is between $40 million and $45 million based on Forbes, Celebrity Net Worth, and other sources, with wealth stemming from group royalties, solo music, brand work, and real estate.
Between his Layover solo success and his role as the face of Celine and Cartier, he is comfortably the group's wealthiest member. Besides music, he has over 66 million Instagram followers and reportedly earns $70,000 to $840,000 for a single sponsored post. V also owns a grand apartment in Seoul's Gangnam district worth over $4.57 million. V, speaking after his military discharge, said:
I have remade my mind and body, and now I want to run to ARMY as quickly as I can.
FAQs
Who is the richest BTS member?
Kim Taehyung, known as V, is BTS's wealthiest member. According to media reports, his net worth is estimated at approximately $40 million, with some sources placing it as high as $50 million. His solo album Layover, luxury brand partnerships with Celine and Cartier, and HYBE equity all contribute to his lead.
Who is richer, Taylor Swift or BTS?
Singer Taylor Swift is significantly richer than any individual BTS member—and worth more than the group combined. Her net worth is estimated at $1.6 billion, driven by the historical success of The Eras Tour, a music catalogue valued at over $600 million, and an extensive real estate portfolio worth over $125 million.
By contrast, V—the richest individual BTS member according to recent estimates—is worth approximately $40–50 million. As a group, BTS's collective net worth of $200–250 million (with total group asset valuations reaching up to $600 million) still falls well short of Swift's personal fortune.
Is BTS worth $3.6 billion?
BTS's collective net worth is widely cited at around $600 million, while the $3.6 billion figure typically refers to BTS's estimated annual contribution to the South Korean economy — not the group's personal wealth. Individual member estimates put the group's combined personal net worth between $200 million and $250 million as of early 2026, making $3.6 billion a significant overstatement of their personal fortunes.
Who is richer, BLACKPINK or BTS?
BTS members hold a clear financial edge over BLACKPINK. While BLACKPINK is massive, they trail behind BTS members, who average higher individual net worths due to HYBE equity. This is largely because BLACKPINK members do not hold equity stakes in YG Entertainment the way BTS members do with HYBE. BLACKPINK's collective net worth is estimated at $140–160 million, compared to BTS's $200–250 million-plus.
How did BTS make their money?
BTS is not just a boy band — it has evolved into a global brand. The group's net worth comes from multiple sources, including album and concert sales, merchandise, brand partnerships, and streaming revenue. Their Love Yourself World Tour in 2019 raked in roughly $170 million. Each member also holds shares in HYBE, having received shares when HYBE (then Big Hit Entertainment) went public in October 2020.
BTS' net worth reflects years of music success, lucrative brand partnerships, solo ventures and HYBE equity. With all seven members having completed their mandatory military service and reunited, major comeback projects, global stadium tours and luxury brand deals could further strengthen their financial standing and commercial influence.
