If you are a longtime fan of BTS, you definitely know the story of how Bang Si Hyuk was poor and in debt when BTS debuted. Today, the results he and BTS achieved are worthy of all their efforts.

Therefore, it is not too surprising when кσяєαn media revealed that Bang PD completed owning an apartment worth more than 26 million USD in Los Angeles. But what makes fans talk a lot about this mansion is the details inside and they are overwhelmed by the huge αѕѕets that the president of HYBE owns.

Below are pictures of Bang PD's LA villa and the overwhelming reactions of netizens:

Initially, Bang Si Hyuk joined the entertainment industry as a producer for JYP. Until 2005, Bang Si Hyuk decided to establish his own entertainment company called вιg нιт Entertainment. However, things did not go so smoothly when in 2007 the company almost went bankrupt but he still kept his dream of creating a music empire.
 
In 2010, he started the 7-member boy band BTS and officially debuted in 2013, but the group has not yet been able to emerge as a significant success. But the perseverance and efforts of both Bang PD and BTS paid off in 2017 when BTS had their first global buzz and began their decade of unstoppable success. In just one year of 2017, Forbes reported that вιg нιт's net profit increased 172% compared to 2016, with a profit of about $22.9 million - the highest amount they achieved since its founding.

In the next years, Bang PD also completed his dream of building the HYBE empire based on its predecessor. When BTS ascended to the K-pop throne, Bang Si Hyuk continuously entered Forbes' annual ranking of the world's richest billionaires. According to Forbes' net worth statistics, HYBE chairman's current total net worth is 1.8 billion USD. With this huge amount of αѕѕets, it is not difficult for Bang PD to own valuable real estate. Most notably, last year, he completed the transaction of a luxury villa in LA, stealing spotlight on social networks.
 
Specifically, кσяєαn media reported that HYBE Chairman bought a mansion (833 Stradella Dr.) owned by comedian Trevor Noah for $ 26.4 million. The listing price for the approximately 11,400-square-foot mansion is $29.8 million, and Bang PD is estimated to have purchased it at a discounted price of about $3.4 million. Its previous owner, Trevor Noah, bought it for $29 million in 2020 and ℓσѕт about $2.6 million. Meanwhile, Bel Air is a luxury complex in West LA and is famous for being the home of Hollywood celebrities and famous sports stars.

Also according to 'The Real Deal', the house was designed by Marc Rios, CEO of the famous arcнιтect arcнιтecture firm 'Rios'. But what makes fans more overwhelmed is the number of rooms and amenities in this villa. The three-storeyed mansion spans across 11,000 sq ft, complete with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It is also equipped with an infinity pool situated right beside a seating area that looks over a picturesque scenery down the hill. There are also a ̾j̾a̾p̾a̾nese-style spa, an open-air patio for parties, a private elevator and include a wine cellar. Many fans were even surprised to say that it was large enough for HYBE's Kpop groups to hold parties here.

In front of President Bang's majestic property, fans cannot hide their admiration:

- Wow, daebak. I knew he had money but seeing this makes me realize exactly how rich he is…

- It looks like one of those houses from ‘Selling Sunset.

- Didn’t he buy this house from someone else? Who was it? — “Comedian Trevor Noah! The person who hosts Grammys every year.”

- But, is Bang Si Hyuk married?
