Like BTS, the base salary per year for BLACKPINK is estimated to be $8 million a year. Therefore, the group makes at least $32 million per year. There is no question that BLACKPINK is the biggest/hottest Kpop girl group. They constantly break records on YouTube and Spotify and have some of the biggest followers on Instagram. Therefore, they should be making so much more money than they are now. However, a vast majority of the money goes to YG Entertainment, and it is not fully known what the split is between the members and the entertainment company. So who is the richest member of BLACKPINK?

When released, it quickly passed 100 million streams and was at the top of Spotify’s charts. The music video has over 595 million views on YouTube.
Lisa is also a mega social media star, as she has the most followers of any Kpop Idol on Instagram. Moreover, her YouTube channel Lilifilm Official has over 11 million subscribers. The biggest unknown question is how the revenue is generated from these social media channels.

I think blackpink is so hot I think blackpink is so cute
In terms of family wealth and the money that lisa made herself she is the richest, but if we are talking about blackpink
members wealth individualy, I think lisa will be at the 3rd or 4th place, because in South Korea if your a foreigner working there either your an idol or an employee your wage will be 55% lower compared to native South Koreans. It’s sad but it’s the reality that foreigner workers are facing in south korea
Heres better idea! Let lisa work for thailand agency!!!!
Forget korean agency!!! Im sure thailand agency can do same or better than korean!!! Problem solved you dumbass
She was getting paid less before but now is paid equally. Despite this huge pay discrepancy she still is worth the most out of the whole group. This is because she gets projects and deals with big brands AND in other countries. Countries like China. She makes big bucks from her deals in China. She is also the most popular member internationally. Her solo was a banger as well. Taking all this into consideration I must say she really is on fire 🔥
Blackpink is the endorser of Adidas and Samsung not only Lisa and Jennie.
What a bunch of bullshit lol who and what is the source of this??? You make it sound like she’s the only one with commercials and magazine covers/brand endorsements haha!! Besides you don’t even know how wealthy each of the other members’ families are!! You just know her dad is a chef, do you know what Jennie’s dad/mom do? Jisoo? We know Rosé is from a family of lawyers and is well to do! Stop with using IG/YT following lol as a determinant of someone’s net worth what bull 😂 I wish people would stop with the empty overhyped and fake reporting !
