BTS' Suga's net worth in 2025: How the rapper built a $40 million fortune through music, brands, and luxury lifestyle
As BTS star Suga prepares to complete his mandatory military service on June 21, 2025, attention is turning not only to his return to the global stage but also to the impressive fortune he has built during his career. With an estimated net worth of $30 to $40 million, Suga—real name Min Yoon-gi—has quietly become one of the most financially successful K-pop artists of his generation. Born in Daegu, South Korea, in 1993, Suga began writing music at the age of 13 and joined Big Hit Entertainment in 2010. He debuted with BTS in 2013 and soon emerged as a leading creative force in the group. Known for his introspective lyrics and emotional storytelling, Suga has written and produced over 160 songs, including many under his solo alias Agust D. Music remains the cornerstone. As part of BTS and through his solo albums 'Agust D', 'D-2', and 'D-Day', as well as a successful world tour, Suga has generated substantial revenue from album sales, streaming, and concerts. He also earns copyright royalties through his membership with the Korea Music Copyright Association, further securing his long-term financial position. Brand deals have become a significant contributor. Suga has been appointed a global ambassador for Valentino, leading its Maison Valentino Essentials campaign. He also partnered with the NBA as a global ambassador, tapping into his long-time passion for basketball. Suga's collaborations with artists such as PSY, IU, and Halsey have broadened his international appeal and brought in additional revenue. His taste for luxury is evident. He owns a Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV, and his Seoul apartment in UN Village, one of the city's most exclusive neighbourhoods, is valued at approximately $3 million. The gated community is often dubbed 'Seoul's Beverly Hills' and houses several Korean celebrities. Suga is also known for his luxury watch collection, which includes a Rolex Datejust 36 worth $10,000 and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding priced around $17,750. His sneaker collection, featuring limited edition Air Jordans and collaborations with Travis Scott, adds flair to his public image, especially during NBA appearances. Though his journey has not been without controversy—most notably a drink-driving incident in 2024 and a previous issue over music sampling—Suga's public apologies and continued fan support have sustained his standing. With his military service nearing completion, all eyes are on what the multitalented artist will do next. He recently took a break from his social service and attended his fellow band-member J-Hope's 'Hope on the Stage' concert. Whether returning with BTS or exploring further solo ventures, Suga's wealth, work ethic, and cultural influence put him firmly in the league of global music elites.

Too many free throws in the NBA Finals? Lou Williams' hot take before Pacers vs Thunder Game 5
The NBA Finals Game 5 is here, but there is a debate about the number of free throws that the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder have gotten. The NBA Finals Game 4 went way over the line with as many as 71 free throws combined between the Pacers and the Thunder. Many fans have complained that this year's NBA Finals have seen too many free throws and easy points, but former NBA shooting guard Lou Williams doesn't agree. According to Williams, the NBA Finals, especially Game 4, saw a lot of physical and aggressive basketball, so free throws became a way to earn something. 'There were a lot of free throws shot. But also, there was a lot of physical and aggressive basketball being played. Again, we have a conversation about finally these teams don't like each other, you know, getting tired of seeing the same guys over and over every other day. And it started showing in this game 4. Fouls started to get a little harder, it started to get a little chippy, everything had to be earned and you gotta earn it from the free throw line,' Williams said on the Run It Back podcast. The former Los Angeles Lakers player said that everyone should either stop complaining about the free throws or stop saying that fouls aren't being called. 'We gotta pick a side of this argument. At one point, we were complaining about a 'free throw merchant' and then we're complaining about fouls not being called," he said. The back-and-forth in the NBA Finals before Game 5 has been constant. Game 1 went to Indiana, so Oklahoma City had to bounce back in Game 2. Indiana reclaimed the series lead in Game 3, only to see Oklahoma City answer yet again in Game 4, knotting the series 2-2. And now, Game 5. The swing game, as some call it. The winner on Monday night — Pacers vs. Thunder in Oklahoma City — will take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals, moving one win away from hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Odds are, the Game 5 winner will go on to win the series. It's happened that way 23 times in the previous 31 instances of the NBA Finals being tied at two games apiece. So, who will win NBA Finals Game 5?
