How BTS Star Suga Built His $40 Million Empire
Last Updated: With BTS member Suga nearing the end of his military service, we have looked back at how the rapper built his multimillionaire empire. BTS star Suga is counting the days to the end of his mandatory military service, and his fans are eagerly anticipating his next move in his career. Ahead of his return from social service, scheduled for June 21, the multimillionaire rapper even took a break and made a brief appearance at fellow band member J-Hope's Hope on the Stage concert. But it has not been confirmed by the K-pop star if he will make a return with his band or embark on a solo journey. Amid this, we have looked back at his estimated net worth of $30 to $40 million and his potential income sources. Suga, real name Min Yoon-gi, is counted as one of the leading K-pop artists in the league of global music elites with a massive net worth of $30-$40 million, courtesy of his music and impressive lifestyle. But do you know about the multitalented musician's income sources? Born on March 9, 1993, in Daegu, South Korea, Suga has etched his name in the lists of multitalented and financially successful artists of his generation. He graduated from the Global Cyber University in March 2019, with a degree in Broadcasting and Entertainment, and then he enrolled at Hanyang Cyber University for the MBA programme in Advertising and Media. But Suga's journey as a rapper began right from his childhood after getting inspired by hearing Ragga Muffin by Stony Skunk. Finally, after hearing Epik High, his decision to become a rapper was solidified. He began writing songs at just 13 years of age, joined Big Hit Entertainment in 2010 and produced 518-062 as part of the hip-hop crew D-Town the same year. Known for his undeniable influence on the K-pop industry due to his introspective lyrics and emotional storytelling, Suga debuted as a member of the South Korean boy band BTS in June 2013. His first solo mixtape, Agust D, was released in 2016, followed by D-2 in 2020, both of which recorded names in the top chartbusters of all time. As a full member of the Korea Music Copyright Association, he has songwriting and production credits on over 160 songs, including Suran's Wine, which peaked at number two on the Gaon Music Chart and won Best R&B on the 2017 Melon Music Awards. Beyond BTS, Suga has produced and featured in songs for other artists, including IU, Psy and Suran. All of these, alongside his copyright royalties through his membership, have generated substantial revenue for the rapper. Besides this, brand deals and ambassadorship have worked immensely, contributing to his mammoth wealth. He is the global ambassador for Valentino, for its Maison Valentino Essentials campaign and the NBA, for his long-time passion for basketball. Suga's Luxurious Possessions The musician's luxurious lifestyle has always been a great source of motivation for many youngsters. With his impressive fortune, Suga has already become the owner of a lavish apartment in Seoul's UN Village, known for being the most exclusive neighbourhood in the capital of South Korea. As per multiple reports, the house is priced at approximately $3 million. He also has a series of high-range four-wheelers parked in his apartment in Seoul's Beverly Hills. One amongst them is the Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV, priced at 50.69 million won (₹31.98 lakh in INR). Talking about his fashion sense, each of his public appearances screams luxury in all senses. Besides his stylish ensemble, he reportedly owns a pricey range of high-end watch collections, including a Rolex Datejust 36 worth $10,000 and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding for almost $17,750. He was also often spotted sporting expensive clothes and sneakers, leaving no stone unturned to grab the attention. First Published: June 17, 2025, 11:41 IST
