How rich the producer/composer/song writer of top kpop groups like BTS and BP are?

Quote from Vivi1388

he earned most from Hybe stocks

Pdogg's salary for 1st half of 2021 was $30K+$100k in bonuses and 34M in stock options(after hybe went public they gifted stocks)

They never revealed his earnings from royalties

Wow they give stocks as a gift to their workers? I meed to google how to work in hybe.

Quote from desdesdes

highly likely, since like I've mentioned, Soyeon or even Exy that only have a little fraction could earn well. So it wouldn't be too far if his royalties could somehow feed at least a generation

i did see something about that not so lang ago, could you tell me more about it (what the numbers were)?

maybe it will give me more perspective of bts members' potential royalties income

I found this (admittedly very old) AKP news article, which states:

A list of the p‍roducers who made the most money through royalties back in 2012 was revealed on October 30.

Topping the list for the second year in a row was J.Y. Park, who made an estimated 1.2 billion won (~ $1.1 million USD) profit off royalties.

Also in second place for the second year in a row was composer Jo Young Soo, who had composed the majority of S‍G Wannabe's hit songs and had previously been in first place four years in a row from 2007 to 2010.

Y‍G Entertainment's exclusive composer Teddy made about 900 million won (~ $850,000 USD) while S‍M Entertainment's Y‍oo Young J‍in made approximately 840 million won (~ $790,000 USD).

In fifth place was G‍-Dragon with almost 800 million won (~ $750,000 USD) in royalty income.

According to Park Sung Min of the Korean Music Copyright Association's public relations team, "Even if it is an old song, it could steadily accumulate profit whether through overseas promotions or karaokes . . . Usually in copyright revenue, 80% is from old songs and 20% is from new ones. J.Y. Park makes a lot of profit because he accumulated a lot of hit songs from G.O.D to 2‍PM and is very active in productions."

It is already hard to say how much they earn. Another thing is wealth is very hard to estimate only by income. We have to take account what kind of lifestyle they have. Do they spend most of their money or do they invest most of money? Rich people often have multiple source of income. Usually the best way to build wealth is building your own company and sell it later for profit. Teddy have his own company Theblacklabel? If he is the main shareholder of the company, he may become extremely rich if it does well.

Teddy is on his way to becoming filthy rich lol
