Jay Park has responded with refreshing honesty to persistent rumors about his fortune, revealing during a candid interview that his true net worth is likely higher than what fans speculate.
Jay Park Addresses His Wealth and Career with Refreshing Honesty
On April 29, Jay Park appeared on the popular YouTube channel TEO’s Salon Drip 2, hosted by Jang Do-yeon, where he openly discussed everything from song royalties to his finances. The conversation first touched on royalties from his enduring summer hit MOMMAE, with Jang asking if the earnings varied seasonally. “Of course,” Jay Park replied casually, confirming that the song still brings in seasonal income.
Jang then broached the topic of Jay’s financial success, asking, “There’s a lot of talk about your wealth. How much have you accumulated?” Jay Park answered, “Honestly, I don’t know. My father handles my finances, so I’m not very involved.” He explained that despite his substantial career earnings, he has never been obsessed with money, focusing instead on working hard and living healthily.
When pressed about the rumors suggesting he was worth around 13 billion KRW (approximately 9.1 million USD), Jay Park laughed and admitted, “I’m not sure. I have a lot of assets beyond just cash. I don’t know the exact number, but since I’ve been working for a long time, it’s probably more than that.”
Playful Moments, Daily Life, and Future Plans
In a humorous moment, Jay Park confessed that he sometimes googles his own net worth, adding, “I look up celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z too. It’s funny seeing ‘Jay Park’s net worth’ pop up.”
Discussing his daily encounters with fans, Jay Park revealed that he often jokes when recognized: “Sometimes when people ask, ‘Are you Jay Park?’ I’ll say, ‘No, I’m Zico. Sorry.’” The playful response drew laughter from both Jang and viewers alike.
Jay Park also offered a glimpse into the challenges of running his company, sharing that his employees occasionally critique his appearance, “They’ll say things like, ‘Your beard stubble is showing,’” he said with a chuckle. “I’m 38 now; it would be weirder if it wasn’t showing.”
Finally, he teased exciting news about his upcoming boy group project, hinting, “They’re all tall and really talented. They even make their own music. By my standards, they’re really cool. We’ll be revealing them early next year.”
Jay Park’s candidness about his life, career, and future plans once again shows why he remains one of K-pop’s most relatable and respected figures. Fans eagerly await the next chapter of his musical journey — and maybe a full net worth confirmation someday too!
