  1. Yes. I Salute for this great message. That’s why I deeply fell in love in #EXO’s even I meet them in 2016 first I saw a mv on you tube a music video of monster and wolf. From the I search from the started. And every activity of the group I looking at it. And I watched them movies and kdrama one by one. I loved them all even they separated and leave them one by one like #EXOakris, #EXOLUHaN, #EXOTAO and last #EXOLays. But even they leaved the group members got connected for each other and helping and support each other for there activities. And they make sure that they support the others member. That’s why #EXO’s expired #EXOL a lot. We love ❤️ you guys and we miss you a lot… Hoping the #EXO12 gathered again if possible. #weareone

  7. I’m confused at how EXO can be said to have 1 billion dollars. If you take 8 members and multiply the amounts listed as their individual wealth – it is no where near 1 billion. It isn’t even 100 million.

    • Lol babe that’s not their net worth they’re not worth more than SM entertainment itself I don’t know where they got these numbers from SM entertainment is worth $100 million so it’s no way XL alone could be worth 1 billion

  8. How are you computing net worth for a group though? Their individual net worths when added up don’t even come close to 1B dollars. How are they even richer than Hanson?

  9. U said Baekhyun only net worth 8 million, when other sources says his got the most higher Net Worth of 15M. U did not not count his EXO-CBX and his Super M and his solo’s sales for Delight/Candy sold more than 1million copies the same thing with his Bambi mini album his second 1million seller? His also a model and ambassador of Burberry and Tirtir Cosmetics, besides his fashion designer of Privee. He also has more OST songs, collab and Station, even Suho mentioned its Baekhyun is the most richest in EXO, but Baekhyun says “he is poor,” lol!

  10. Exo net worth isn’t based on their net worth from their SM only net worth, duh! Exo are actors, models, has many collab, OCT songs, and most of them are soloist/vocalist, besides of their royalties, CFL or advertisements or they endorse or endoresement. Exo, mostly got outside gigs Exo actually besides of being models, most of them were brand name ambassadors. Exo has 2 sub units;Exo-CBS and exo-SC. Most of the members are soloist/vocalist and successful to this. Plus, u also forget that they make many tour concrts, with their EXO Planet $1-#5. They have those concerts every year for those concerts mail to in Asian countries, why they don’t have enough for the requests touted or concerts in other continents like;Europe, Latin America, Africa and in the U. S. A, or even in other Asian countries as Middle East. What more if they have those world tour? They also has those extra concerts like: Octofest, and others. So, u can’t just count their individually net worth. And no, those going to their SMITH company already not included. Their individual Net Worth only from their album and other recording or songs. Exo also has many guesting in the shows, radio, etc. Their individual Net Worth is just their bunos!
