In the fractured marketplace of Asian showbiz, it’s not all often that a star manages to find success beyond her home country, but former K-pop girl group member Sandara Park is clearly no ordinary star. Discovered in the Philippines through a talent show called Star Circle Quest, she starred in multiple television shows and films before her talent agency decided not to renew her contract.

Determined to still make it in show business, she eventually signed on with South Korea’s YG Entertainment as a trainee. Two short years later, she was launched onto the world as Dara of 2NE1, and the rest is history.

While the start of her career might have been tough, Dara now lives comfortably with a whopping estimated net worth of US$16 million.

So what does she like to spend her money on?

Luxury cars

According to K-pop site Koreaboo, Dara cruises around in a red 2017 Range Rover, estimated to be worth around US$900,000. Apart from this, Dara fans have shared photos of her Volkswagen Beetle, that she had redone in bright yellow.

Designer threads

YG Entertainment stars are known to step out often in designer clothes, and Dara is no different. A favourite of fashion websites, she’s been spotted in a range of brands – from trendy Off-White and Marine Serre, to Gucci and Celine.
