As a BTS member, Jin also earned greatly from their broadcast appearances, as well as endorsement deals, among others. In particular, with BTS being globally well-known and in-demand, and with their mega-influence and brand power around the world, the group's appearance and talent fees are sure to be high in proportionate to their reputation.
BTS also has a net worth of more than $100 million USD as a whole group, with Jin's base salary being $8 million USD per year. Due to Jin having 68,000 shares invested in HYBE, which is reportedly valued at $16 million USD, this means that the BTS member's net worth already amounts to $24 million USD, excluding his earnings from other sources.
When it comes to music, Jin earns royalties from the Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA), where he is credited for writing several songs of BTS' and his own.
