BTS’s net worth is currently around $450 million, and it will increase drastically based on the upcoming plans for the group. Here are the ways that their net worth is going to increase soon.
Big Hit Entertainment
Big Hit Entertainment is a South Korean entertainment company established in 2005 by founder & co-CEO, Bang Si-Hyuk. The company serves as the label for BTS. Big Hit Entertainment is going public in October and the seven members of BTS are set to make millions.
The IPO will make Si-Hyuk, known as “Hitman” Bang, a billionaire. In August, Bang gave each of the seven BTS members shares in the company, currently valued at close to $8 million. The demand for shares in Big Hit Entertainment was driven to record levels due to fans of BTS.
This increase in demand gives Big Hit Entertainment a net worth of $4.1 billion. Big Hit Entertainment’s Oct. 15 IPO will be the largest in South Korea in three years.
Subsidiaries in Big Hit Entertainment
Big Hit Entertainment has several subsidiaries, including Source Music, beNX Japan inc., TNDJ Inc., and Big Hit Entertainment America Inc. Big Hit Entertainment is also the largest shareholder in Pledis Entertainment.
BTS makes up the majority of Big Hit’s revenue. The K-pop group accounted for ninety-seven percent of sales in 2019 and eighty-eight percent in the first half of 2020. In addition to BTS, Big Hit is also the label for the one-year-old, five-member boy band TXT and South Korean singer Lee Hyun.
