Jay Park Gets Candid About His Net Worth and Music Royalties
Jay Park, the iconic K-pop artist and music entrepreneur, recently made headlines for his candid conversation about his personal wealth and music income. Appearing on the YouTube variety show Salon de Ris 2 on May 29, Jay Park offered fans a rare glimpse into his finances and career reflections.
During his guest appearance, Jay Park admitted that he often looks up his net worth online, saying with a laugh, “I search things like ‘Jay Park Net Worth’ on portal sites. Not just mine—I also check Justin Bieber’s, Usher’s, and even Beyoncé’s.”
In a revealing moment, he shared that according to online sources, his estimated net worth stands at around 13 billion KRW (approx. $9.5 million USD). However, he was quick to mention, “I don’t have an exact figure, but I’ve been active for quite some time, so it could be a bit higher.”
Park went on to explain that his father currently manages his finances. “He handles everything, including assets beyond just cash. I honestly don’t even know how much I’ve saved,” he said.
When asked by host Jang Do-yeon whether his father’s involvement gives him a sense of pride or a drive to work harder, Park responded, “I’ve always worked hard. It’s not really about external motivation—it’s just how I am.”
He also clarified that despite his success, materialism isn’t what pushes him forward. “I just want to live well, eat well, and stay healthy. That’s my main focus—I’m not someone who’s particularly greedy for money,” he said with humility.
On the topic of music royalties, Jay Park noted that his 2013 track “Like” remains one of his top income-generating songs. “Even today, it’s consistently in my top three royalty earners, especially popular during springtime. It’s already been 12 years since its release,” he shared.
He also mentioned another fan favorite, “Mommae”, saying, “It’s a crowd-pleaser during live performances, but ‘Like’ is the kind of song people enjoy casually in their everyday lives.”
Jay Park’s openness about his career longevity, financial mindfulness, and lasting musical impact affirms his place not only as a top-tier performer but also as a thoughtful, grounded individual navigating fame with sincerity.
