Kim Soo Hyun, one of the highest-paid actors in South Korea, is not only known for his acting prowess but also for his assets. His real estate holdings, estimated at around USD 22 million, have sparked fan curiosity, especially in light of his role in the Netflix Kdrama Queen of Tears.
In Queen of Tears, Kim Soo Hyun's character, Baek Hyun-woo, is intricately connected to the fictional 'Queens Group.' As the husband of Hong Hae-in, the granddaughter of the Queens Group Chairman, Baek Hyun-woo finds himself embroiled in the family's fortune and the trials that come with too much wealth.
The 'Queens Group' in the drama is portrayed as a formidable 'chaebol' family, dominating several industries. The parallels between Kim Soo Hyun's real-life investments and his character's fictional ties to the 'Queens Group' have not gone unnoticed.
Kim Soo Hyun's three properties, including his residence at Galleria Forêt in Seongsu-dong, highlight his savvy investments. Purchased in 2013 for USD 3 million, this property's value has skyrocketed to nearly USD 9.8 million.

Adding to his portfolio, Kim Soo Hyun acquired a 170-square-meter residence at Seoul Forest Trimage in May 2014 for 3.02 billion KRW (around USD 2.2 million). Then, in January of this year, he invested in a private penthouse for 8.8 billion KRW (roughly USD 6.4 million). These acquisitions have propelled the total value of Kim Soo Hyun's real estate to an estimated 28-30 billion KRW, or USD 20-22 million. Also, his overall net worth in 2024 has been estimated to be around USD 117 million, making him one of the highest-paid actors in the South Korean entertainment industry.
Fans are aware of Kim Soo Hyun's considerable wealth in real life, leading them to wonder if it surpasses the fictional riches of the Queens Group. Regardless of the truth, they are pleased for Soo Hyun, who has starred in popular Kdramas and brought joy to his audience.
