BTS has dominated the Kpop market for over a decade, bringing them status - fame and huge fortune. Along with the development of the BTS collective brand, the members of the group have also established great influence with their personal brands by promoting their solo activities in recent years.
By releasing solo albums, solo world tours, becoming brand ambαѕѕadors or developing personal content, the net worth of each BTS member has increased differently. This leads to the curiosity of fans about "Who is the richest member among the BTS superstars?".
On June 26, 2025, a popular кσяєαn Instagram update page @seoul.southkorea gave the correct answer to this question of the majority. V was concluded to be the richest among the seven members!
According to the post, his net worth is currently estimated to be over INR 342 crore (approximately $40 million). This puts him at the top when it comes to financial worth in BTS.
Notably, as of early 2023, V’s net worth was estimated to be between $20-23 million. In just 2 years, which even included the time when V was on hiatus due to military service, this net worth has doubled, showing how strong his personal brand is.
It is known that V’s net worth is aggregated from various income-generating channels including music, social media, and endorsements. His debut solo album, Layover, released in September 2023, debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200.
Taehyung has one of the highest number of Instagram followers among K-pop idols at over 67 million. His social media presence creates so much impact that it is estimated that he earns up to 800K USD for each sponsored post, depending on the scope of the campaign
Not only that, V's financial success also comes from his close relationships with global luxury brands. He officially became the face of French fashion label Celine in 2023 and was also appointed as an ambαѕѕador for iconic jewelry brand Cartier, specifically their Panthère line.
His collaborations have also extended to various campaigns including Hyundai, McDonald's, and Indonesian investment platform SimInvest. Each of these deals has brought in revenue while also raising V’s profile in the fashion industry and building a global brand.
In addition, V owns a 3,000 square foot luxury apartment in the SK Apelbaum complex in Gangnam, Seoul, one of the most upscale areas in the city.
