Actress Song Hye-Kyo, 38, is one of the top names in South Korea. But she maintained a pretty low profile in the entertainment world during her 23-years. She was embroiled even after the scandal because of her broken marriage to artist Song Joong-ki.
Luxury brands Chaumet, Bottega Veneta, and Sulwhasoo actively seek out beautiful actresses to promote their goods. With all the support and ventures that the star has earned in the sector, we all realize she is now known as one of South Korea's highest-paid actresses.
So the question now would be, how can a long-established Hallyu celebrity manage its wealth?

Song Hye Kyo has been finding her way up to become one of the most famous names in showbiz following her debut in 1996 and was ultimately deemed one of Korea's highest-paid actresses, earning an average US$ 42,000 per K-drama film.
The Hallyu star snowballed to fame across Asia with her successful series "Autumn in My Heart" in 2000 and "Full House" in 2004. The personal life of Song Hye Kyo gained notoriety in 2017 when she wed actor Song Joong-ki, and their tale of fairytale love concluded when they separated.
Since separation still holds prejudice in Korea, her fans were overly concerned that this could affect the actress's reputation, but that was not the case.
Several luxury brands even desired her to be their brand ambassador. This proved to be too high on her excellent profession and broad impact on private things.
In reality, she had firmly established her reputation in the industry. Song Hye Kyo's total net worth roughly US$ 31 million, and appropriately invested her money.
She invests mainly in real estate purchases. It was reported that she owns three properties in Samseong-dong, one of Seoul's most expensive areas.
The star also used to own an apartment in Manhattan, right in front of Central Park in New York, that she managed to sell in 2018. Apart from spending on real estate, Song Hye Kyo is also known to provide aid and generous contributions to various charities during her career.
