BTS members V, Jimin, and Jungkook have been named among the top 100 wealthiest shareholders under the age of 30 in publicly listed companies, according to a report by corporate data research institute CEO Score.
The analysis, conducted on December 24, examined the number of shares and stock values held by individual shareholders of listed companies as of the end of last December and December 19 of this year. V, Jimin, and Jungkook were each found to hold shares valued at approximately 21.4 billion KRW (around 15 million USD).
The holdings stem from HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk gifting 478,695 common shares to each of the seven BTS members ahead of the company’s IPO in 2020. The three members have reportedly retained all of those shares to date.
In the overall ranking, Samsung Electronics chairman Lee Jae Yong took the top spot with stock holdings valued at 23.359 trillion KRW, while Bang Si Hyuk ranked 10th with shares worth approximately 4.123 trillion KRW.
