Among the members of BTS, j-hope is best known for having a “golden touch” when it comes to real estate investment. He has earned significant profits from buying and selling high-end apartments and currently owns three properties with a total value of 27 billion KRW (approximately $19.4 million). Meanwhile, although Jin does not own as many real estate αѕѕets as j-hope, he is also a successful entrepreneur and investor across multiple fields.

Coming from a business-oriented family—his father is the CEO of an electronic components company, while his older brother owns a chain of restaurants and beauty salons—Jin entered the business world at an early age. He is one of the co-founders of the נαραиese-style restaurant Ossu Seiromushi alongside his brother and currently owns a traditional кσяєαn liquor brand called IGIN.

Furthermore, Jin’s prestigious black card and his estimated net worth of $45 million to $55 million (as of 2025)—compiled from various sources—clearly reflect his sharp business acumen and strategic vision as an investor.

Recently, this reputation was further reinforced when ARMYs discovered that Jin had “нιт the jackpot” with a 50 billion KRW investment made four years ago, earning him the title of the most successful investor in the so-called “BTS Investment Club.”

Specifically, SFMOMA recently officially announced that the opening date of RM x SFMOMA’s first museum exhibition will be October 3, 2026. The exhibition will showcase 200 works from RM of BTS’s personal collection, including pieces that have never been exhibited in the United States. The exhibition will run through February 7, 2027.

Following the announcement of the exhibition’s opening date, fans not only congratulated RM but also recalled Jin’s hypothetical investment in the BTS leader four years ago during a segment called the “BTS Investor's Club.” In this segment, the members were asked how they would invest 77.7 billion KRW into business projects proposed by other members.

Although the activity was intended to be fun and spontaneous, Jin approached his decision with careful consideration. He chose to invest nearly two-thirds of his allocated amount—approximately 50 billion KRW—into RM’s business venture: an art museum. Jin explained that he decided to invest the maximum possible amount because the value of art increases over time.

Meanwhile, the other BTS members appeared less enthusiastic about investing large sums into RM’s project. j-hope and Jungkook evenly distributed their investments, meaning their 11 million KRW contribution to RM’s museum reflected a similar level of interest as their other investments.

SUGA and Jimin each chose to invest 20 million KRW but remained hesitant about allocating a large amount to art-related projects. V, on the other hand, invested 30 million KRW, largely driven by personal preference. Jin was the only member who contributed the largest amount and provided reasoning from a clear business and investment perspective.

What makes this even more remarkable is that among all the hypothetical business ideas proposed by BTS members, RM is the only one who has actually brought his project to life years later. He has also become the first K-pop artist to collaborate with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Even though Jin’s 50 billion KRW investment at the time was purely hypothetical, fans agree that he has effectively “won” the bet. Moreover, his reasoning has proven to be accurate: while art may not generate immediate profits like other industries, its value consistently appreciates over time and can even become priceless in many aspects.

Another notable detail is that Jin refused to invest even 1 KRW in SUGA’s hip-hop label or j-hope’s menswear brand. He explained that the music industry still faces many limitations, and that men, in general, do not typically dress in j-hope’s fashion style.

Looking at Jin’s investment portfolio, it is clear that he is both a bold and intelligent investor. He not only evaluates potential but also considers customer demand and market trends in each business sector in order to allocate capital wisely.

Fans couldn’t help but laugh and praise the sharp business mindset of BTS’s oldest member:

- Jin's responses to this have been and always be my favorite! He is very practical and intelligent

- Joon actually nailed some of these. Jin is the most successful investor

- I knew Jin was the sugar daddy. He’s investing 50 billion at RM’s Art Museum and let’s not forget he also put a ring on him! Ha!

- Business runs in Jin's вℓσσ∂, he's so practical, the answers he gave were the most realistic among all, his dad is CEO so he knows the best how the market works and now he made his foodservice business to real by bringing IGIN

- Jin's fund is very him, I think I'd give him my money

- Jin’s comments on this always take me out. He’s so savagely hilarious!

- Normally, he seems humorous and playful, but when it comes to business, he’s completely serious. CEO Jin, take over Big Hit soon

- Jin isn’t just an all-round idol; he’s also an incredibly smart investor. His decision to invest in RM’s project was spot on!

- Can imagine an idol could be this talented and so successful in business. He is actually CEO

- The way Jin carefully considers, allocates investments, and evaluates long-term value shows he has an exceptionally sharp strategic mind

- Jin’s business sense makes us admire him even more. Not just in music, every investment decision he makes is precise

- CEO Jin is no joke! נαραиese restaurant, IGIN liquor, and now RM’s museum
