Not official but I saw some rumours that they all got around $16m for putting the signatures on the paper. HYBE is public now so we might get some news about it in time.
Display MoreIt makes sense. I'm guessing they'll double what they initially offered BTS when HYBE went public-- which is like around 400k shares in total, and if my guess is right it will become 800k to 1M shares in total. This is not just a contract renewal. Hybe is securing a partnership with BTS. It makes sense because HYBE is BTS (financial and power standpoint).
And just to give a glimpse;
HYBE Revenue (2016-2022)
7 years revenue trend
2016- 35B
2017- 92B
2018- 301B
2019- 587B
2020- 796B
2021- 1,256 trillion
2022- 1,778 trillion
SUM= 4,845 trillion won
BTS' revenue contribution to HYBE in total is 3,706 trillion won (76.5%) out of 4,845 trillion won in 7 years only.
In the worst case scenario, each member must have $130m net worth. Like if you think they got the bare minimum from HYBE.
I personally think each member has around $200m net worth. Mainly because of that renewal in 2018. That renewal came at the right time for them. They were starting to get mainstream in the music industry and had started making unprecedented money for Korean artists. So I guess they knew what they were doing even back then by renewing before time. Just like this time around.
I estimated minimum $50M per member which makes $350M
And the max offer is $100M per member which makes $700M
And this isn’t too outrageous when thinking about it. All of us know BTS next world tour is making $1B flat
I agree. This contract comes into affect from 2025 so $50m a year would be actually a low number for them by then. I got a feeling other than their yearly salary, they will have some share of the profits the company in general makes.
