From the perspective of achievements and influence, it is clear that BTS has surpαѕѕed the boundaries of typical K-pop and risen to a truly global level after a decade of activity. They are referred to as the “21st-century pop icons,” the first group since The Beatles to have multiple Billboard 200 No.1 albums, one of the few Asian acts to dominate Billboard, Spotify, and stadium tours... This places them in the same tier as other major global artists.

Naturally, at such a position, BTS’s revenue, performance fees, and income are undeniably mαѕѕive—only fueling the public’s curiosity even more. Although the members tend to be very private about their net worth or personal earnings, several specialized outlets have been able to estimate their income and overall financial status. On the other hand, BTS’s wealth is also evident through publicly known αѕѕets that fans have gathered over the years.

First of all, Forbes recorded BTS generating $170 million USD annually at their peak, including music, merchandise, endorsements, and digital content. Each member was reported to earn about $10–15 million USD per year after taxes and other costs. Their earnings vary depending on touring schedules, endorsement deals, and solo activities.

Most recently, Seoul South кσяєα also released a ranking estimating the net worth of BTS members for 2025. In a post titled “BTS continue to shape global music and pop culture, and new estimates for 2025 reveal how much each member has earned,” published via their Instagram account, they presented aggregated figures from several industry reports.

According to the ranking, V is named the richest member, with an estimated net worth of $40 million USD. The remaining members are valued slightly lower, roughly between $30–35 million USD each.

In 2019, CheatSheet estimated each BTS member to have a net worth of about $8 million USD. This means that in about six years, their wealth has grown nearly three to four times. Considering their luxury global endorsement deals, active solo music projects over the past two years, and growth in individual ventures—such as real estate—this strong upward trajectory is unsurprising.

Beyond reputable sources, fans can directly observe the wealth of these top K-pop superstars through several publicly visible αѕѕets. Recently, Jimin stunned fans with his “young & rich” aura when he υиєχρє¢тє∂ly revealed his Hyundai “The Black Card 3”—one of the four most exclusive Black Cards in кσяєα, reserved for only the top 0.05% highest earners. Basic requirements include spending at least $8,347 USD per month and holding a minimum of $8,347,175 USD in bank αѕѕets.

It is known that “The Black” card is invitation-only, and applicants must receive approval from eight individuals, including the company’s vice president. Cardholders must also pay an annual membership fee of 2 million won ($1,500 USD).

In short, this card is reserved for those with the “triple crown” of super wealth – super fame – super power, and only around 1,000 кσяєαns qualify. What is even more astounding is that among those 1,000 people, BTS holds seven slots.

Before Jimin, at least three other BTS members had been seen with this elite card: Jin—who used it to pay a 878,000 won ($650 USD) meal for SUGA's birthday in 2020; Jungkook—who once tried to use his Black Card just to buy snacks from a vending machine (and failed); and V—who showed fans a close-up of his card engraved with “0613,” a significant and symbolic number for BTS.

Considering BTS and Hyundai have partnered for years, fans speculate that the Black Cards may have been issued during that time. They also do not rule out the possibility that Hyundai created special “0613” Black Cards exclusively for BTS.

In addition to Black Cards, most BTS members are believed to own various luxury cars—except RM, who reportedly does not have a driver's license. In Vogue נαραи’s “In the Bag,” both Jimin and Jungkook once revealed the key fobs of their Porsche supercars. The base price for these vehicles typically ranges from $100,000–$200,000 USD, depending on the model and custom options.

Fans also noticed Jimin once suggested that BTS members should use their own cars if they film a group trip after seeing three identical Audi cars in Are You Sure 2. This led fans to believe that more than two members may own a Porsche or similarly high-end vehicles. Several reports also highlight other luxury cars owned by top K-pop stars over the years.

From Black Cards to supercars—and now, real estate. BTS is famously known for buying their properties in cash, paying the full amount upfront without loans or mortgages. Not only that, they tend to buy residences in the most expensive areas in кσяєα, such as Nine One Hannam, Hannam The Hill, Banpo Acro, and UN Village since 2018–2019. Some members even own more than one property—such as Jin, V, and j-hope, who reportedly owns three luxury apartments.

Meanwhile, late last year, Golden Maknae Jungkook completed his 1000-square-meter Itaewon villa. He purchased the land in 2020 for $5.8 million USD, began reconstruction in 2023, and took a full year to rebuild the home according to his preferences.

At this point, BTS’s wealth is simply beyond what fans can quantify—even imagining it is overwhelming. Their mαѕѕive αѕѕets also reflect their immense influence and power as leading global K-pop superstars.

Of course, everything they have today is fully deserved—earned through relentless hard work and dedication over more than a decade. Fans and the public have nothing but respect and admiration for these talented young superstars.
