  • Jennie is known as ‘Human Chanel’, but also works with Calvin Klein, Hera and Samsung, while Lisa’s music video for Lalisa once broke Taylor Swift’s record on YouTube
  • Rosé is a face of Tiffany and YSL while Jisoo, the current richest member, made her lead acting debut in Snowdrop and has had endorsements with LG, Nikon, Samsonite, Dior Beauty and Cartier

Blackpink, one of K-pop’s most successful girl groups ever, is back in the spotlight for its anticipated comeback since it last launched “The Album” back in 2020. The girls are reportedly releasing a new album this month, per Soompi.

Rumour has it that it might be their last possible work with their seven-year anniversary coming up next year, with many bands like Sistar, 4Minutes and 2NE1 falling victim to disbanding during this “seven-year curse”. But Blinks, or Blackpink’s fans, will continue to cross their fingers and hope that the girls stay together.

From selling their music and touring both as a group and individually, to modelling for global luxury brands like Dior, Calvin Klein and Samsung, along with endorsements galore via their Instagram and YouTube channels, the members have a combined fortune of about US$62 million. But who is the richest of the clan, based on Celebrity Net Worth estimations?

We take a look at the multimillion-dollar empire that the four members have built for themselves since their debut in 2016.

4. Jennie – US$10 million

She may have been born with a silver spoon – her mother is reportedly a shareholder and major stakeholder in CJ E&M, one of South Korea’s biggest entertainment companies as the parent of Mnet and TVN – but Jennie earned her own fortune from her career starting from 14 years old.

Outside the group’s activities, Jennie became the first member to go solo with Solo in 2018. The hit single surpassed 300 million views on Spotify in July 2021 and 800 million views on YouTube in March. She made history as the first Korean soloist and first Korean female soloist to reach the milestones, respectively.

Apart from music, she also has plenty of high-profile endorsements. Known as the “Human Chanel”, she is also the face of Calvin Klein, Korean luxury beauty Hera, Samsung Galaxy and Lotte Confectionery. She also collaborated with Korean luxury eyewear brand Gentle Monster to release a line of sunglasses, Jentle Home Collection. With an estimated cost of up to US$800,000 per contract, per Ace Bed Korea, she must have raked in millions from these deals.
