Love him or hate him, GD making that $$$

In a recent broadcast of SBS‘s Midnight TV Entertainment, G-Dragon‘s annual royalties for his self-produced, written, and composed tracks were revealed.

Aired on the afternoon of June 24th, the entertainment information program revealed that G-Dragon earns an estimated of more than 790 million won, or $710,786 U.S dollars, in royalties a year based off information taken in 2012. Given that since then, BIGBANG has released additional music, the current estimate is most likely even more.

The majority of BIGBANG’s music is a result of direct involvement from G-Dragon, who creates the group’s popular and quality music, as well as his own solo tracks. Included are the group’s most recent hit tracks "LOSER", "Bae Bae Bae", "BANG BANG BANG" and "We Like 2 Party", as well as many others.

Naver:

1. [+3,921, -82] He makes all that on his own ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+3,182, -135] He's making bank in royalties off of his talent in making good music

3. [+2,723, -120] I wish he was my dongsaeng...

4. [+2,278, -580] What a good career it must be to be a celebrity ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+502, -17] That income estimate was from 2012... and since then, he's released a solo and a new Big Bang album so I'm sure it's much higher now ㅋ Amazing

6. [+479, -22] He's making what he earns but it's such a large amount that I'm jealous

7. [+439, -21] Wow, he really does make a lot...

8. [+411, -14] He could basically make 790 million won just sitting there breathing....

Nate:

1. [+275, -10] His income just exceeds anything you're capable of imagining... would I ever be able to touch that kind of money in my lifetime?

2. [+235, -12] Good for him, what am I supposed to make a living out of

3. [+184, -9] Ah... f*ck... jealous...

4. [+16, -2] That income was estimated in 2012 so... it's probably higher now...

5. [+10, -4] So he can basically sit around doing nothing and still make 800 million won... Basically makes as much as owning two 5 floor buildings in Gangnam. Nevermind the income he makes from CFs, concerts, solo albums, world tours... talk about through the roof.

[dokyungsoo.livejournal.com]

i whispered "me" when i watched this, even though technically if i had a choice i'd pick top over gd any day because top still makes big bucks, and he's a thousand times hotter imo.

/superficial asshole

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

he's so cute. seungri was doing the absolute most with the whole "i'm-laughing-so-hard-look-at-me-falling-on-the-floor" routine.

this episode was great because i actually found out some things about the group that i didnt already kno.

daesung remains a gift.

[wishesgranted.livejournal.com]

GD is an incredible talent. Good for him.

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Oh look at the babies! brb, thinking about the documentary and crying into my chicken bowl.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

That was 2012...dude has definitely made more now with the solos and other albums

Big Bang also has CF, tours, and other money streams too...whew..

[byronsbitch.livejournal.com]

This figure is just for royalties. The CF's are on top of that. He is raking in MILLIONS USD per year.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure where my post implied that it wasn't just royalties?

[byronsbitch.livejournal.com]

Sorry I misread! :p

[simprov.livejournal.com]

it took me a second to realize they just meant from royalties cuz i thought this was his annual income for everything & i was surprised it was so low. "low", as in as compared to what western musicians who are that popular are making

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

make money gd. good for him.

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

damn that's a lot

he's worked hard for it though, get it.

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

Jiyong's the only Korean celeb to own a Hyundai black card, which is exclusive to less than 10k people. Let that sink in for a while.

I was checking his wiki the other day and almost all of his tracks are co-produced.

Get that money #Bey-Dragon.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

He goes by G-yonce, tyvm.

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

lmao i cry

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

He typically makes a melody for the songs by himself, but uses beats made by YG producers. I remember reading that YG producers have like monthly (or maybe it was weekly I can't remember) meeting into which they bring bunch of beats of which artists can take a pick.

Unless Kiko wants to be a single mum for two years I doubt there is any pregnancy scare before the end of GD's military service.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

When has anyone ever planned/scheduled in a pregnancy scare? Lol

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I just thought you implied that she would try to get pregnant because his money.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

lol no. Kiko might not be making as much bank but she has a great modeling/cf/acting career. She's getting her millions on her own lol

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I'm much more interested in knowing how much his whole income is as he probably makes millions from CFs and concert tours.

[dokyungsoo.livejournal.com]

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]
