Suzy Bae and her track record in the show business
According to the source, this is the breakdown of Suzy Bae’s net worth. This may not be the exact values but this is just to give an idea.
In 2015, Suzy made it to the list of the highest-paid K-pop-idols-slash-K-drama-actresses, alongside Girls’ Generation’s Yoona. She was able to get a salary of USD16,700 (around P805,600) per episode for that year.

Let’s estimate that a movie ticket in South Korea costs around $10 or PHP 480. Multiply that amount by 4 million so you’ll have PHP 1,920,000. Definitely a blockbuster queen.
Because of her fame, Suzy was able to score major ad partnerships from high-end brands like Canon, Lancome, Guess, Reebok, Swarovski, and Sprite. Because of this, Koreans tagged her as the country’s “CF (commercial film) Queen for years.
Because of her tremendous career success, Suzy can truly buy all the things she wants. But this girl also wise about her money and her investments.
