No. 1 – Yoona
Girls’ Generation′s Yoona has already earned a record-breaking profit of 50 billion won in the first part of 2011 alone.
When she was still a trainee, she received about 300,000 won for each drama and music video she starred in, but after she made her debut in Girls’ Generation, she started to soar far and high. She was cast as the main lead for the drama You Are My Destiny, and started to earn 900 million won per drama episode and 300 million won for every solo CF.
When it looked like things couldn’t get any better for her, the group blew through the roof in 2009 with Gee, and began to shoot an average of 25 CFs per year. Yoona received more solo CF offers than any other member, and earned about 2 billion won only for herself. Girls’ Generation as a group also earned 12 billion won for profits in Japan, and a total earning of 34.8 billion won in the first half of 2011. Altogether, we could say that Yoona is earning more than 50 billion won at the young age of 22.
So we′re at the end of the list, and the top star is still in her very early 20s - but no worries. Just think, they must not be very...oh, who are we kidding. We′re about to take a swig and buy a product endorsed by someone old. Very old.
