How rich is "Vincenzo" actor Song Joong Ki in 2021? Did his divorce with Song Hye-Kyo back in 2019 put a dent in his assets and wealth?

Song Joong Ki's Net Worth Revealed

Song Joong Ki was estimated to have $1 million in his name in 2020. Therefore, Song Joong KI's net worth 2021 can be assumed to be at least this amount or beyond it.

It can be easily surmised that he has massive wealth for all the well-loved projects he has been part of. There are even reports of him being the highest-paid actor, especially since most of his films are those placed in Netflix for people around the world to see.

His film, "Space Sweepers" took the number one spot on Netflix in various countries when it debuted. As the first South Korean space sci-fi film, it was alleged that costs to carry out the filming reached $20 million (around P970,000,000). These massive costs hinted that Song Joong Ki is given a handsome paycheck.

Subsequent movies "A Werewolf Boy" and "the Battleship Island" did so well as well, so it is easy to imagine how much he earned from them.

Apart from his movies, he earns nicely too from his kdramas and endorsement deals. None of his kdramas so far flopped; the majority gained worldwide popularity, which means he made lucrative earnings from them. According to reports, Song Joong Ki is paid at least $50,000 (around P2,400,000 won) per K-drama episode. This makes him one of the highest-paid actors in Korea. If a season has 16 episodes, doing the math can make anyone gasp at the final salary figure.

Vincenzo is currently one of the top shows to watch on Netflix these days, and while it is unknown how much he made from this show, it can only be assumed that it is big.

His iconic "Descendants Of The Sun" (DOTS) certainly made him earn a lot. Normally, in South Korea, it is usual for high-rating kdramas to receive investments from companies that appreciate the show. This means talent fees can increase more with each impressive episode. It must be noted that the show was even sold at $100,000 (around P4,800,000) per episode to Japan. All of these earnings should have trickled down to Song Joong Ki's earnings.

Did Song Hye Kyo Divorce Affect Song Joong Ki's Wealth?

Speaking of DOTS, it must be remembered that it is through this show that Song Joong Ki found Song Hye-Kyo to be his ideal girlfriend, and, unfortunately, the said match in heaven for many fans, did not last. They filed for a divorce in 2019. Fans were shocked but cannot do anything about it.

Their divorce means they have to talk net worth and assets. His wife, Song Hye-Kyo is also one of the top paid actresses in the country and because she has been in the business far longer, her net worth is even higher than Song Joong-Ki's net worth in 2029.

According to E!, at the time, Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong-Ki haven't been married that long before calling it quits. This means the property they were able to acquire together or those that can be considered conjugal.
