When talking about the richest K-drama actress, it’s really not Kim Ji Won, the actress from ‘Queen of Tears’, or Song Hye Kyo, the actress from ‘The Glory’. So who’s the richest K-drama actress?
The actress is none other than Lee Young Ae, the multiple Baeksang Award nominee and winner. Her staggering net worth stands between $40 million to $55 million (approximately between Rs 333 crore to Rs 457 crore), according to Celebrity Net Worth and Outlook India.
Her notable works include ‘Jewel in the Palace’ aka ‘Dae Jang Geum’, the iconic sageuk that helped spread the Hallyu wave, as well as ‘Lady Vengeance’, the popular neo-noir psychological thriller film.
Her career spans three decades. She was last seen making a successful K-drama comeback in ‘Maestra: Strings of Truth’ as a world-renowned but secretive conductor of an orchestra alongside Lee Moo Saeng, Hwang Bo Reum Byeol, and Kim Young Jae.
Before her breakout moments in television and film, Lee Young Ae had long established herself as a CF queen with a flourishing modeling career. The Inspector Koo star has endorsed and represented several luxury brands like Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Ferragamo Eyewear.
