When it comes to music, the pop scene has always taken precedence, topping the charts decade after decade, however, there has been a massive influence from foreign artists taking over American airwaves. K-Pop, which first made its way over to mainstream music in the United States following Psy's 'Gangnam Style', is all anyone can talk about!
The industry is full of some of the most epic entertainers from BTS, Girl's Generation, Wonho, and of course, Blackpink. The girl group, which is made up of Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo, has taken over the music scene, and rightfully so! The group has released a series of studio albums, single albums, and many EP's, soaring them to the top spot.
Most recently, the ladies took part in their very own Blackpink movie, which hit theatres this past summer. Considering the girl group are at an all-time high, fans have begun to wonder just how much they are worth. While we know Blackpink surpassed BTS when it comes to their net worth, who comes out on top within Blackpink itself?
Which Blackpink Member Is The Richest?
Blackpink was first signed to YG Entertainment back in 2010 and worked diligently to become one of the biggest girl groups of today. While being a k-pop star is clearly no easy feat, considering the training involved, it's clear that Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé's time working to become the best has definitely paid off.
Despite forming in 2010, the girl group didn't actually debut until 2016. With six years of training under their belt, it's no surprise that the ladies catapulted to great heights, so much that they are easily one of the biggest acts in North America. With major success in Asia, it was only a matter of time before Blackpink earned international success too, and now, with so much going for the group, fans are curious as to how much they are worth, and who is the richest!
The entire group is reported to be worth a collective $40 - $45 million, however, who's the richest member? That'd be Lisa! The Blackpink star is no stranger to the spotlight, especially now that she has branched out into a solo career. According to reports, Lisa is worth a whopping $13 million, while Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé are all estimated to be worth $10 million each.
Lisa's Official Solo Debut
Although Blackpink has experienced major success as a group, it appears as if they are also doing the same as soloists! Despite groups from the United States normally having one or two breakout stars go mainstream following a go at a solo career, the same cannot be said for k-pop bands.
Going solo is something most members do at some point, and believe it or not, they all reach commercial success! Lisa is currently doing that right now, and fans cannot be more excited. The singer went ahead and released her very first singles album titled, Lalisa, and it's clear that she is set for big things.
While this can oftentimes create animosity when group members go solo, that's not the case for most k-pop groups. Considering Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo have all gone solo, they continue to support one another both as a group and as soloists.
