BTS’s Net Worth Is Only Growing (as a Band and Individually)

BTS's net worth is smooth like butter, adding a whopping $5 billion to the South Korean economy each year.

BTS may be the most popular boy band of all time. These kings of K-Pop are said to add $5 billion to the South Korean economy each year.

But they’re not only popular in their native country — they’re a phenomenon around the world and, in particular, the U.S., where they recently met President Joe Biden to discuss anti-Asian hate crimes.

Their new album “Proof,” drops June 6, 2022, which will only increase the band’s earnings. But what exactly is BTS’s net worth? Here we take a look at the finances of each band member.

BTS Net Worth Overall

Net worth: $100 million

BTS is a boy band juggernaut — everything they touch turns to gold. “Butter,” their most recent album, topped the Billboard 200 chart in 2021 and sold nearly 2.5 million albums in its first month alone.

Brands love the boys too. They’ve partnered with Louis Vuitton, Samsonite, Puma, FILA, Seoul Tourism, Formula E, Coway, LG, Hyundai and Samsung. Their McDonald’s promotion alone earned them about $8.5 million.

Much like The Beatles, they’ve even released BTS-related products through other companies, such as Baskin Robbins, New Era, LeSportsac, Sketchers, Mattel, Tamagotchi and VT Cosmetics, among others. Let’s look at how each member fares in terms of finances.

His solo projects also add to his wallet — he put out a single for the Korean soundtrack of the “Fantastic Four” movie.

RM has done numerous TV shows and is also an art collector, which is always a great investment.

Net worth: $20 million

Bottom line: To think Jungkook wanted to have a career in badminton! Jungkook is the youngest member of BTS and, like the other members, makes his money from the band’s music, tours and endorsements.

He’s more of an online influencer than the others — he’s been named Google’s most searched K-pop star, and everything he appears with online sells out immediately.
