Blackpink’s Lisa is reportedly the richest member of the K-pop girl group, with a US$10 million net worth – so how does the idol spend it?
Thai Blackpink member Lisa Manoban has banked millions through brand endorsement deals with Celine, Bulgari and MAC, and spends her riches on a US$83,000 luxury handbag collection, charitable causes – and treating her bandmates to dinner deliveries
Aside from performing at sold-out concerts and shows, she is also the face of multiple global brands. And even before the fame, she came from a well-off background.
It comes as no surprise that her popularity has granted her a great fortune, but where does she like to spend it?

She makes bank through brand endorsements
Lisa reportedly makes the most out of the entire group. While the Blackpink members are each worth around the same amount, Lisa brings in additional income through her numerous brand endorsements, and her estimated net worth of US$10 million puts her above her bandmates by about US$1-2 million.
Apart from global brands such as Celine, Bulgari and MAC announcing Lisa as their global ambassador, she is also well-loved by brands from her home country. Thai mobile phone operator AIS reportedly spent much more on an endorsement deal with Lisa compared to previous brand ambassadors.
She has a taste for high fashion and luxury goods
So what does she like to spend her fortune on? Lisa has been spotted going shopping all over the globe. When she’s not hitting up a Celine boutique after Paris Fashion Week, she’s spending up a storm in Thailand or browsing boutiques with her bandmates.
It’s also clear that the star has a taste for high fashion: in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, she shared the Celine pieces she has her eye on and plans to buy next. She also has an extensive bag collection, with fans and media approximating the cost at over US$83,000.
