Suga Net Worth 2026: How Agust D Built $40 Million

Last updated: November 14, 2026  ·  By Nathan Cole

Suga’s net worth in 2026 is an estimated $40 million. That is the figure this profile anchors on, inside a range of $25 million to $70 million — the widest spread of any BTS member, and the reason a single number without the working shown is not worth much. Suga, born Min Yoon-gi, is 33 years old, a rapper, songwriter and producer in BTS, and the man behind the Agust D solo project. He finished his military service in June 2025, returned with BTS on the Arirang album in March 2026, and is now on the biggest tour of his life — 88 shows in 34 cities, with the opening stretch alone grossing about $124 million.

The fortune is built from four streams, and the split is what makes Suga different from the other six members. There is the BTS money — group recording, touring and merchandise. There is the solo money — the D-Day album and a solo world tour that grossed $57.2 million across 28 shows. There is the producer money — 156 songs registered with Korea’s music copyright association, including hits for IU and PSY that pay royalties every time they play. And there are the HYBE shares, granted at the 2020 IPO, which Film Daily put near $19 million in July 2026. No other BTS member has all four streams running at this scale. That is why the estimates disagree, and why the low ones are wrong.

This profile answers the net worth question properly — the full range, every source dated, and the reason the anchor sits where it does — and then covers the career the number belongs to: the Daegu teenager who wrote songs at 13, the underground rapper called Gloss, the Big Hit audition, the BTS rise, the Agust D mixtapes, the producer catalogue, the military service and the scooter incident, and the 2026 comeback that put him back on stadiums around the world.

Suga Net Worth 2026: The Short Answer

Suga’s net worth in 2026 is an estimated $40 million, inside a range of $25 million to $70 million. The range is the honest answer: Celebrity Net Worth lists him at $70 million (updated September 4, 2026), while Koimoi, Film Daily, IBTimes and ArmyBangtanWorld all put him between $25 million and $33 million, and Scrowp lands at $40 million. The anchor of $40 million sits at the top of that main cluster, where the documented money supports it — a $57.2 million solo tour, a producer catalogue of 156 songs, a HYBE stake near $19 million, and a 2026 comeback tour that has already grossed hundreds of millions for the group.

Suga is 33 years old in 2026, born March 9, 1993, in Daegu, South Korea. He is a rapper, songwriter and record producer, a member of BTS since their debut on June 13, 2013, and the solo artist known as Agust D. He is listed at 5 ft 9 in (176 cm). He completed his mandatory military service on June 21, 2025 — the last of the seven BTS members to finish — and returned with the group on the Arirang album on March 20, 2026, followed by the Arirang World Tour, which runs through the first half of 2027.

The rest of this profile is the money, stream by stream, and the career behind it. The D-Day tour is the biggest single payday of his solo career. The producer catalogue is the quietest and the most durable — royalties that arrive whether he is on stage or not. The HYBE shares are the part of the fortune that moves with the stock market. And the 2026 comeback is the reason every one of those numbers is about to move again.

Why the Estimates Disagree So Much

The $45 million gap between the lowest and highest estimates for Suga is not a rounding error. It is the result of four different methods colliding on one private fortune. Celebrity Net Worth builds its number from public income — tours, albums, endorsements — and adds a premium for the BTS brand. The Korean and fan-run rankings build theirs from reported earnings and HYBE share prices. The middle sources split the difference. None of them can see the contracts, so each one guesses at a different piece.

Three things drive the spread. First, the HYBE shares: their value moves with the stock price, so any estimate that counts them is a snapshot, not a fact. Film Daily put the stake near $19 million in July 2026; at the 2020 IPO the same shares were worth about $7.9 million. Second, the D-Day tour: $57.2 million gross is not $57.2 million in Suga’s pocket — promoters, venues, crew and taxes take most of it, and the sources disagree on how much reaches the artist. Third, the producer royalties: 156 songs pay every time they stream, and no public source can see the royalty statements. A source that counts the catalogue generously lands near $70 million. A source that counts only the documented tour and endorsement income lands near $28 million.

The $40 million anchor threads those three problems. It counts the full documented tour gross at a realistic artist share, the HYBE stake at its 2026 value, the endorsement income, and a conservative value for the catalogue — and it does not lean on Celebrity Net Worth’s top-end premium, which no other 2026 source reproduces. The range stays on the page, because the honest answer to “how much is Suga worth” is a range, and any article that gives you a single number without showing its working is asking you to take its word for it.

The BTS Money Machine: Where the Fortune Comes From

BTS is the biggest money machine in K-pop history, and Suga has been in it since the first day. The group debuted on June 13, 2013, with the single album “2 Cool 4 Skool”, and spent the next decade becoming the best-selling act in Korean history. “Dynamite” in 2020 made them the first K-pop act to top the Billboard Hot 100. The albums, the stadium tours, the merchandise and the endorsements built a group fortune that the 2026 estimates put anywhere from $150 million to $350 million combined — and up to $600 million on the highest count — with Forbes Korea projecting roughly $222 million in collective earnings for 2026 alone. Celebrity Net Worth’s page on Suga notes that the group’s major publicly disclosed tour, livestream and concert-film grosses have now crossed $1 billion, before counting album sales, streaming, merchandise, publishing or endorsements.

Suga’s share of that machine comes through the same channels as the other members — recording royalties, touring income, merchandise and group endorsements — but his role inside it is different. He is the group’s producer as much as its rapper. He writes and produces for BTS itself, which means he earns publishing royalties on the group’s own catalogue on top of his performer share. The other members earn from the songs. Suga earns from the songs twice: once as the performer, once as the writer. That double dip is the quiet engine of his fortune, and it is the reason his solo catalogue matters as much as his group income.

The group paused in June 2022, when the members announced a focus on solo work and then began their mandatory military service one by one. The hiatus cost the group years of touring income — and it is the reason the 2026 comeback matters so much to the numbers. Every member built individual income during the break, and Suga built more than most: a solo album, a solo world tour, and a producer catalogue that kept paying while he was away. The comeback tour, which began in April 2026, is the first time all seven have toured together since 2022, and it is already the largest tour any K-pop act has ever staged.

The D-Day Tour: .2 Million on His Own

The biggest single payday of Suga’s solo career is the D-Day tour, and the numbers are unusually solid for this kind of estimate — they come from Billboard’s own Boxscore charts, not from a net worth site’s guess. The tour ran from April 26 to August 6, 2023, in support of his debut studio album D-Day, with 28 shows in North America and Asia, 320,233 tickets sold, and a total gross of $57,224,119. Billboard’s year-end Boxscore chart put him at No. 37 among all touring acts in the world — the first Korean solo artist ever to make that chart — and the tour was the highest-grossing ever by a South Korean soloist. The US leg alone, 11 shows, grossed $30.2 million from 151,000 tickets.

The scale is worth pausing on. A single night at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, on May 14, 2023, grossed $3.164 million — the highest-grossing concert ever by a Korean soloist in the United States. The two nights at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, which opened the tour, took in more than $6 million between them. Suga was the first BTS member to hold a solo world tour, and he did it in arenas, not theatres, at prices that matched the group’s own shows. The tour proved something the industry had wondered about: that a BTS member could fill the same rooms alone that the group filled together.

None of that $57.2 million went straight into Suga’s bank account, and this profile does not pretend otherwise. A tour gross is split between the promoter, the venue, the crew, the staging, the travel and the taxes, and the artist’s share is a fraction of the headline number. But even a conservative share — a fifth, a quarter — puts several million dollars of solo touring income into the fortune, and it arrived in a single summer, on top of the album sales and the streaming. The D-Day album itself debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, tying the highest chart position ever for a South Korean soloist, and took No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart with the fourth-largest sales week for any album in 2023 at the time of release. The album and the tour were one commercial event, and it is the single biggest reason the $40 million anchor is defensible.

The Producer: 156 Songs and the ‘Hand of Midas’

If the tour is the loudest part of Suga’s fortune, the producer catalogue is the quietest — and the part that keeps paying when he is not working. As of 2023, Suga had 156 songs registered with the Korea Music Copyright Association, the body that tracks songwriting credits in South Korea. The number covers his work for BTS, his solo work as Agust D, and his productions for other artists, and every one of those songs pays royalties each time it streams, plays on radio, or appears in a film or advertisement. Film Daily, in its July 2026 ranking, called him the “Hand of Midas” of the group — if a song carries the “Prod. by SUGA” tag, it tends to become a hit — and put his production royalties at the centre of his wealth.

The credits read like a map of Korean pop. He produced “Wine” for Suran in 2017, which won Best R&B/Soul at the Mnet Asian Music Awards that year. He produced “Song Request” for Lee So-ra in 2019, featuring himself, which topped the Korean charts. He produced and featured on IU’s “Eight” in 2020, a No. 1 hit in Korea and one of the biggest songs of that year. He produced PSY’s “That That” in 2022, featuring himself, which reached the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the most-watched Korean music videos of the year. He has worked with Halsey (“Suga’s Interlude”, 2019), Heize, Epik High and the Japanese artist ØMI. The catalogue is not a side project. It is a second career, running alongside the performing one, and it is the income stream that no tour cancellation or military service can interrupt.

The producer money is also the hardest to count, which is part of why the estimates spread so wide. Royalty statements are private, streaming rates vary by platform and territory, and a song written in 2017 still pays in 2026. What is certain is the direction: 156 registered songs, including chart-toppers for two of the biggest names in Korean music, is a catalogue that generates real money every year, and it is the reason Suga’s fortune is more durable than a touring artist’s. A tour ends. A catalogue does not.

HYBE Shares and Investments

The third stream is the one that moves with the stock market. When HYBE, BTS’s agency, went public in October 2020, each of the seven members received 68,385 shares. At the IPO price those shares were worth about $7.9 million each — a gift that turned the members into shareholders in their own company overnight. The shares have been worth far more since, and far less, depending on the year. Film Daily, in its July 2026 ranking of the members, put Suga’s HYBE stake near $19 million, and called the shares “the backbone of his portfolio”. Public filings cited by the same rankings note that V, Jimin and Jungkook hold among the larger stakes of the younger shareholders, and that the members treat the holdings as the hidden factor behind sudden jumps in published estimates.

The shares matter for two reasons. First, they are the largest single asset in Suga’s fortune after the music itself — a $19 million stake is nearly half of the $40 million anchor. Second, they tie his wealth to the company’s fortunes, which in 2026 are tied to the Arirang comeback. HYBE reported its highest-ever third-quarter revenue and operating income on November 3, 2026, on the back of the tour, and the stock has moved with every announcement about the group’s return. If the tour extends into 2027, as HYBE confirmed it will, the shares are worth more. If the group pauses again, they are worth less. It is the most volatile part of the fortune, and the part the net worth sites struggle hardest to price.

Beyond the shares, the reporting on Suga’s other investments is thin, and this profile will not invent detail to fill the gap. Film Daily’s July 2026 ranking mentions “investments in small entertainment ventures” that have started to yield modest dividends, and the same piece notes that his “Hand of Midas” reputation inside the industry may open future backend deals. Property is reported in general terms — holdings in Seoul — without the kind of documented purchase price that would let a profile put a number on it. The honest statement is that the shares and the music are the fortune, and everything else is small next to them.

Endorsements: Valentino, the NBA and the Solo Brand

The fourth stream is the smallest, and the most visible. In January 2023, Suga was named a global brand ambassador for Valentino, the Italian fashion house, joining its roster of “Di.Vas” — the ambassadors who front its campaigns. In April 2023, he became an ambassador for the NBA, the American basketball league, a role that put him courtside at games and in the league’s global marketing. Both deals were struck in the months before his military enlistment, and both were built on the solo brand he had spent a decade building: the serious musician, the producer, the one member of BTS who dressed like a fashion editorial and talked like a studio engineer.

The endorsement money is real but modest next to the touring and the shares. Film Daily’s 2026 rankings list the Valentino ambassadorship as the bulk of his ongoing endorsement income, alongside the NBA role, and put the two together well below the tour and royalty income. That is the normal shape for a musician of his kind: the brand deals are the garnish, not the meal. The meal is the music — the songs, the shows and the shares — and the endorsements are the public face of a fortune built in the studio.

The solo brand also explains why Suga’s endorsements look different from the other members’. J-Hope fronts fashion and dance; Jungkook fronts pop and perfume; V fronts luxury and film. Suga fronts craft: a fashion house that wants a serious artist, and a sports league that wants a global ambassador who is not a conventional pop star. The deals fit the man, and the man is the producer who happens to be famous, not the famous person who happens to produce.

Early Life: Daegu, Gloss and the Big Hit Audition

Min Yoon-gi was born on March 9, 1993, in Daegu, South Korea, and grew up in the city’s Taejeon-dong neighbourhood with his parents and his older brother, Min Geum-jae. He started writing music at 13, teaching himself piano and production on a second-hand computer, and worked part-time jobs to pay for studio time — including a delivery job that would shape his life twice over. As a teenager he performed as an underground rapper under the name Gloss, part of the Daegu hip-hop crew D-Town, and built a local reputation for lyrics that were sharper and darker than the pop around him.

The delivery job ended in a crash in 2012, when he was hit while riding a motorcycle for work. He injured his shoulder, and the injury never fully healed — it would lead to surgery in November 2020, for a torn labrum, and it would later decide the form of his military service. He kept working through it, writing songs in the hours between shifts, and in 2010 he auditioned for Big Hit Entertainment, the small agency that would become HYBE. He placed second in the audition and joined as a producer trainee — the agency wanted his beats, not his face — and spent three years learning the craft before the group was formed. He studied Broadcasting and Entertainment at Global Cyber University while training, and he has said since that the producer’s chair was always his first home.

The Daegu years explain the fortune as much as the BTS years do. Suga did not arrive at fame as a performer who learned to produce. He arrived as a producer who learned to perform, and the producer’s share of every song he touches has been paying him since the start. The underground rapper who wrote his own beats at 13 is the same man who now holds 156 songwriting credits and a catalogue that pays whether he tours or not.

BTS: From ‘2 Cool 4 Skool’ to the Biggest Band on Earth

BTS debuted on June 13, 2013, with the single album “2 Cool 4 Skool”, seven young men from a small agency with no money and no connections. Suga was the rapper and the in-house producer, the one who wrote the beats the group rapped over. The early years were lean — small venues, small budgets, and a fanbase that grew by word of mouth — and then, in 2017, the group broke through in the United States, and the next five years were a run with no parallel in pop music: the first Korean act to top the Billboard Hot 100 (“Dynamite”, 2020), the first to top the Billboard 200, stadium tours on every continent, and a fanbase, ARMY, that became a cultural force of its own.

Suga’s role in that rise was the studio. He wrote and produced across the group’s catalogue, from the early hip-hop records to the pop anthems, and his fingerprints are on the songs that made the group famous. He also became the group’s conscience in interviews — the member who talked about mental health, about the pressure of fame, about the cost of the life they were living — and the one the other members turned to when the work got hard. The group announced a pause in June 2022 to focus on solo work, and the members began their military service one by one. Suga, the last to enlist, went in September 2023.

The money from those years is the foundation of the fortune, and it is the part the net worth sites count most easily: the group albums, the world tours, the merchandise, the endorsements. But it is also the part that stopped when the group paused, which is why the solo years matter. While BTS was away, Suga made the most of the gap — an album, a tour, and a producer catalogue that kept growing. The other members did the same, in their own ways, and the 2026 rankings of the group reflect it: every member is now worth tens of millions on his own, not just as a seventh of the group.

Agust D: The Mixtapes, D-2 and ‘Daechwita’

The solo project began in August 2016, when Suga released his first mixtape as Agust D — the name is “Suga” spelled backwards, with “DT” for Daegu Town, the crew he came from. The mixtape was raw, personal and free, and it showed a different artist from the one in BTS: angrier, more confessional, writing about depression, ambition and the cost of success. It built a cult following, and it established the solo identity that would carry the next decade.

The second mixtape, D-2, arrived in May 2020, and its lead single, “Daechwita”, became the signature song of the project — a trap track built around a traditional Korean royal procession, with a music video that cast Suga as both a king and a madman. D-2 peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, the highest position for a Korean soloist at the time, and the project confirmed what the first mixtape had suggested: that Agust D was not a side project, but a second career with its own audience.

D-Day, the debut studio album, arrived on April 21, 2023, and it was the commercial peak of the solo project. It debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, tying the highest position ever for a South Korean soloist, and took No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. The album closed the Agust D trilogy — mixtape, mixtape, album — and the tour that followed turned it into the biggest solo payday of Suga’s career. The trilogy is the reason the solo brand exists at all, and it is the reason the name on the thumbnail of this article reads “Agust D” as well as “Suga”. The two names are two income streams, and both of them pay.

Military Service, the Scooter Incident and the Return

Suga enlisted on September 22, 2023, as a social service agent — the alternative form of South Korea’s mandatory service, assigned to men whose health rules out active duty. His was the shoulder, injured in the 2012 delivery accident and operated on in November 2020. He served in a public office role rather than in uniform, and he was discharged on June 21, 2025, the last of the seven BTS members to complete his obligations. The service cost him 21 months of public work, and it is the reason the 2024–25 period is blank in his discography: no album, no tour, no appearances. The catalogue kept paying. He did not.

The service also included the one public scandal of his career. On August 6, 2024, Suga fell from an electric scooter in Seoul’s Hannam-dong neighbourhood while intoxicated. He was fined ₩15 million — about $11,000 — had his driving licence revoked, and issued a public apology. The incident drew heavy coverage in Korea, where drink-driving carries a particular stigma, and it is the reason some low-quality pages still misdate the event to 2026, two years after it happened. It was August 2024, it was dealt with by the courts, and it did not interrupt his service. This profile records it because the record should be complete, not because it defines the man.

The return, when it came, was fast. Within weeks of his discharge, the group began work on the comeback album, and Suga was in the studio with the other six, writing the record that would become Arirang. He told the crowd at the comeback concert in March 2026 that the pause had forced the group to think hard about what to hold onto and what to change — and that they were still not completely sure, and still anxious at times, but that the anxiety was part of who they are. It was the most honest thing said on that stage all night, and it was said by the producer.

The 2026 Comeback: Arirang and the World Tour

Arirang, BTS’s fifth studio album, was released on March 20, 2026 — 14 tracks, led by the single “SWIM”, the group’s seventh No. 1 in the United States. It was their first group album in three years and nine months, and their first since completing military service. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 641,000 album-equivalent units, the largest opening week by units for a group under the chart’s current methodology, and it spent three weeks at the top. The day after release, the group performed the comeback concert at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, streamed live on Netflix on March 21, and the documentary “The Return” premiered on March 27. Suga co-wrote tracks on the album, including “2.0” and “Hooligan”, and spoke to the crowd that night about the pause and the return.

The Arirang World Tour began on April 9, 2026, at Goyang Stadium, and it is the largest tour any K-pop act has ever staged: 88 shows in 34 cities across 23 countries, running through the first half of 2027. The opening stretch alone generated roughly $124 million from more than 660,000 tickets sold, enough to top Billboard’s Top Tours chart, and the first 38 reported shows grossed $433.2 million. HYBE confirmed on its November 3, 2026 earnings call — reporting its highest-ever third-quarter revenue — that the tour will extend into the first half of 2027, with the group resuming in November with Asian and Australian dates and heading to the Philippines in March 2027. New group and solo projects are being prepared for after the tour.

For Suga’s fortune, the comeback changes everything. The group tour pays seven ways, and his share of a $433 million gross — even at a fraction, after costs — is the largest single addition to his wealth since the D-Day tour. The album pays publishing royalties on every track he co-wrote. The HYBE shares rise with the company’s record earnings. And the solo projects HYBE is preparing for after the tour mean the Agust D stream is not finished either. The $40 million anchor is a snapshot of a fortune in motion, and the motion is upward: the 2026 numbers will look small next to the 2027 ones if the tour finishes as it started.

The Money, Year by Year

The fortune was not made in a single year. It was built in layers — group money first, solo money second, producer money throughout, and the shares underneath it all. The table below lays out the milestones that the estimates are built on, with the source for each figure.

The arithmetic behind the $40 million anchor is the strongest part of the story. Start with the documented tour gross: $57.2 million from the D-Day tour alone, of which a realistic artist share is several million dollars. Add the HYBE stake near $19 million. Add the group income from a decade in the biggest band in K-pop, the producer royalties from 156 songs, and the endorsement deals. Subtract the taxes, the costs, and the two years of military service with no new income. What is left is a fortune in the tens of millions — and $40 million is the figure that the documented pieces support without leaning on any single outlier. A reader who wants the higher number can take Celebrity Net Worth’s $70 million. A reader who wants the lower one can take Film Daily’s $28 million. Both are on the page, dated, and attributed. The anchor is the middle of the evidence, not the middle of the argument.

Suga Among the BTS Members: Who Is the Richest?

The question every BTS fan asks is who is the richest member, and the 2026 rankings do not agree with each other — which is the point. The group is close enough in wealth that the order changes with the method. Celebrity Net Worth puts Suga at $70 million, the highest figure for any member on its pages. Film Daily’s June 2026 ranking puts him in the mid-tier, level with J-Hope at roughly $28–30 million, behind V. IBTimes puts V first at $40 million, with J-Hope and Suga tied at $30 million in the next tier. ArmyBangtanWorld puts V first at $38–40 million, with Suga at $26–28 million. Scrowp puts most members between $35 million and $50 million, with Suga at about $40 million.

Guide Net Worth’s own profiles of the other members tell the same story from the inside. J-Hope’s net worth profile anchors him at $70 million, built on his solo career and property. Jungkook’s net worth profile anchors him at $50 million, built on “Seven” and his solo album. Kim Taehyung’s net worth profile anchors V at $40 million. Jimin’s net worth profile anchors him at $35 million, built on “Like Crazy”. The four profiles, read together, put the group within a $35–70 million band — and Suga’s $40 million anchor sits in the middle of it, exactly where a member with his catalogue and his tour record belongs.

The honest answer to “who is the richest” is that it depends on the month. The HYBE shares move daily, the tour money arrives in waves, and the royalties compound quietly. V leads on most 2026 rankings, J-Hope leads on Celebrity Net Worth, and Suga leads on none of them — but he is the only member whose fortune is built on four streams instead of three, and the only one whose producer catalogue pays him for other people’s hits. If the Arirang tour finishes as it started, the order will move again, and the member with the catalogue will be the one whose fortune grows fastest when the touring stops.

The wider K-pop picture is the same shape. Jennie’s net worth profile anchors the BLACKPINK star at $30 million, and Lisa’s net worth profile anchors her at $40 million — the same band Suga sits in, and the same proof that the top of K-pop is a small, wealthy club. Suga’s $40 million puts him in the middle of it: not the richest member of BTS, not the poorest, and the one whose money is built to last the longest.

Personal Life: What Is Known — and What Is Not

Suga keeps his private life private, and this profile respects that. He is 33, unmarried, and based in Seoul, where he has lived since the group moved there from Daegu. He does not parade relationships in public, and no verified partner is named in any of the reporting this profile draws on. What is public is the rest: the family, the music, the studio, and the occasional glimpse of life off the road — the piano, the basketball, the time with his brother when the tour allows it.

What is also public is his approach to the job. He has spoken openly about depression and about the pressure of fame, in his music and in interviews, with a directness that is rare among idols — the Agust D mixtapes are confessional in a way K-pop rarely allows, and the honesty is part of why the solo project has the following it does. He has spoken about the shoulder injury that shaped his service, and about the decision to keep producing through the hiatus rather than resting. He is, by every account, a private person who happens to be very good at a very public job, and the most private member of the most public group in the world. The net worth profile ends there, because that is where the public record ends.

What Comes Next for Suga in 2027

The first question of 2027 is the tour. The Arirang World Tour extends into the first half of the year, with dates in the Philippines in March and more to be announced, and HYBE has said new group and solo projects are being prepared for after it ends. The second question is the solo work: whether Suga records a follow-up to D-Day once the group schedule clears, and whether the Agust D project — three releases across seven years — gets a fourth chapter. The third question is the money: whether the $40 million anchor holds, or whether the tour gross, the album royalties and the HYBE shares push it past $50 million by the time the tour closes.

The honest assessment, as of November 14, 2026, is that Suga is worth an estimated $40 million, inside a $25–70 million range, with a fortune built on four streams that no other BTS member matches in combination. He is 33, back on the biggest tour of his life, with a catalogue of 156 songs paying him every day and a stake in the company that employs him. The military service is behind him, the scooter incident is behind him, and the comeback is in front of him. The next album, the next tour, and the next royalty statement will decide the number. The career behind it is already decided.

Where outlets disagree — on the net worth, $25 million against $70 million; on the richest member, V against J-Hope against Suga; on the group total, $150 million against $600 million — this profile names the disagreement, dates each figure, and attributes it to its outlet rather than picking a winner silently. No figure in this article comes from an anonymous “sources say” claim, and no fact has been added that the cited reporting does not support.
