2022’s richest women in K-pop: 3 iconic groups’ net worths, ranked – from Blackpink’s Lisa, Jennie, Rosé and Jisoo, to Girls’ on Top’s Boa and Wendy, and Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and Seohyun
- Despite fan worries that K-pop’s ‘seven-year curse’ will put an end to Blackpink next year, the girls released Born Pink and continued to make bank from Dior and Samsung endorsements
- Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and Hyoyeon are part of SM Entertainment’s female supergroup Girls on Top, and Boa and Red Velvet’s Wendy Seulgi also contribute to the collective’s overall wealth
It’s been yet another year dominated by K-pop – especially for the likes of Twice, Blackpink and new kids on the block NewJeans. But who is doing the best out of all of them when it comes to making the big bucks?
STYLE takes a look at 2022’s most successful girl groups based on their collective net worths, and finds out which of the groups’ individual members have capitalised the most on their fame and success.
Girls on Top – US$55.2 million
Girls on Top is a K-pop girl group under Korean mega-label SM Entertainment, which debuted on January 1.
But its seven members are no stranger to the label’s audience. Following the same concept as the label’s male super group, Super-M, Girls on Top also comprises a collection of the biggest female names in K-pop, including solo artist Boa, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and Hyoyeon, Red Velvet’s Wendy and Seulgi, and Aespa’s Winter and Karina.
Thanks to their previous successes, Girls on Top’s members are already millionaires – but who is the richest of them all?
Blackpink – US$62 million
Blackpink, arguably the most successful K-pop girl group ever, was back in the spotlight for its much anticipated comeback, Born Pink, in September.
