BLACKPINK is now opening up a bit about the subject of money and reveals who spends the most money in the group.

K-pop act BLACKPINK is one of the most popular groups in the world at the moment. The members not only have adoring fans everywhere, but they have also been able to generate a good income from their job. BLACKPINK is now opening up a bit about the subject of money and reveals who spends the most money in the group.

What are the net worths of the BLACKPINK members?

Since their debut, BLACKPINK has captured the hearts of K-pop fans everywhere. The group is not only popular in South Korea but also around the world as well. As such, they can make a lot of money from music sales and concert tickets. Additionally, their popularity also makes them hugely in-demand stars for advertisements.

The members of BLACKPINK have had deals with international brands like Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Guess, Dior, Samsung, Kia, and Adidas.

According to IBTimes, Lisa is the wealthiest BLACKPINK member with a net worth of $10 million. This is because is from Thailand and does work there as well as in Korea. The other members of BLACKPINK—Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé—have net worths of around $8 million.

Which member spends the most money in the group?

On a recent visit to a radio show, BLACKPINK talks about money and reveals who spends the most money in the group. According to Jisoo, that would be Lisa.

“Lisa buys the food a lot when we order delivery to our dorm,” Jisoo said, as reported by Koreaboo. “She already has an account registered on the mobile app, so she’s the one who has to pay for it. We’re eating well, thanks Lisa.”

Lisa was reportedly cheated out of $800,000 by an ex-manager

Lisa seems to be doing well financially, but it doesn’t mean she has never run into money problems. In June 2020, it was reported that she found herself as a victim in a scheme by an ex-manager, who managed to cheat her out of 1 billion Korean won (or $800,000).

As reported by AllKpop, the ex-manager in question—called “A”—had worked with the group since their debut in 2016. It seemed “A” was a trusted figure in Lisa’s life, and when they asked Lisa for help investing in real estate, the BLACKPINK rapper gave some of her money.

“Reportedly, ‘A’ told Lisa that they would be looking for real estate purchase opportunities, and asked her for 1 billion KRW. After Lisa provided ‘A’ with the amount, ‘A’ allegedly blew the amount gambling,” the news outlet wrote.

In a statement released by YG Entertainment, the company noted that “A” had repaid Lisa a portion of the money they borrowed and would be “repaying the remainder of the amount accordingly.” Additionally, they no longer worked at the company.

YG Entertainment also shared apologetic words for the unfortunate event, saying, “We would like to bow our heads in apology for causing severe concern to many fans who love our artists. We are currently greatly disconcerted over ‘A’s actions, taking ill-advantage of an artist’s trust; we feel the significant weight of the responsibility and the misdirection of this. We will prepare preventative measures to ensure that such a concerning event does not happen again.”

Lisa Is The Richest Member Of BLACKPINK – So How Does She Spend It?

Thai BLACKPINK member Lisa Manoban has banked millions through brand endorsement deals with Celine, Bulgari and MAC, and spends her riches on a US$83,000 luxury handbag collection, charitable causes – and treating her bandmates to dinner deliveries

When Lisa Manoban was introduced as a member of BLACKPINK, the Thai beauty quickly won the hearts of fans for her incredible rap skills and unforgettable dance moves.

Aside from performing at sold-out concerts and shows, she is also the face of multiple global brands. And even before the fame, she came from a well-off background.

It comes as no surprise that her popularity has granted her a great fortune, but where does she like to spend it?

Her stepfather is a renowned chef who owns a culinary school in Bangkok

The only non-Korean member of the group, Lisa grew up and lived in Thailand before being discovered at a YG Entertainment audition at 14 years old. She reportedly lived a comfortable life, as her stepfather is renowned master chef Marco Brüschweiler who served as a chef for multiple luxury hotels around the world. He now runs a culinary school in Bangkok specializing in Thai cuisine.

She makes bank through brand endorsements

Lisa reportedly makes the most out of the entire group. While the BLACKPINK members are each worth around the same amount, Lisa brings in additional income through her numerous brand endorsements, and her estimated net worth of US$10 million puts her above her bandmates by about US$1-2 million.

Apart from global brands such as Celine, Bulgari and MAC announcing Lisa as their global ambassador, she is also well-loved by brands from her home country. Thai mobile phone operator AIS reportedly spent much more on an endorsement deal with Lisa compared to previous brand ambassadors.

She has a taste for high fashion and luxury goods

So what does she like to spend her fortune on? Lisa has been spotted going shopping all over the globe. When she’s not hitting up a Celine boutique after Paris Fashion Week, she’s spending up a storm in Thailand or browsing boutiques with her bandmates.

It’s also clear that the star has a taste for high fashion: in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, she shared the Celine pieces she has her eye on and plans to buy next. She also has an extensive bag collection, with fans and media approximating the cost at over US$83,000.

She loves to treat BLACKPINK to meals

The other BLACKPINK members have openly admitted that Lisa is the most generous, frequently treating them to meals.

“Lisa buys a lot of food for us when in our dorms and has it [delivered] to us,” said Jisoo during an interview on Korean radio show Volume Up. “She’s registered in a [food delivery] app and is the one who is in charge of paying for it. We’re eating really well because of her. Thank you, Lisa.”

She gives to charity

Beyond sharing her wealth with her bandmates, she is also known to give to charity. In 2019, she made headlines for giving a generous donation to the victims of floods from her home province of Buriram; she donated 100,000 baht, worth around US$3,000.
