Boyfriend & Dating History

Frédéric Arnault

In July 2023, multiple media outlets from Korea including The Korean Times and JoongAng Ilbo, reported that Lisa and Frédéric Arnault were dating.

Frédéric Arnault is the TAG Heuer’s CEO and LMVH’s heir, a giant French luxury company that was led by Bernard Arnault.

None of both sides has yet to comment about the rumors.

Net Worth

Lisa’s net worth is estimated around $20 million to $25 million. Her main source of income comes from her career in BLACKPINK and her solo debut hits Money and Lalisa.

She is also a brand ambassador for the cosmetics company Moonshot and became the global brand ambassador for Celine Haute Parfumerie collection. She walked in its summer 2022 show in Nice, France.

BLACKPINK

The group evenly split their yearly $25 million earnings.

Plastic Surgery

Lisa was rumored to have undergone plastic surgery because of the drastic change in her nose between her young photos and her new ones.

Before her debut, Lisa’s nose ridge is rather flat and her nostrils wider. After debut, her nose looks smaller with a taller nose ridge.

However, It might just be a make-up effect because YG Entertainment has a rule that the artists are not allowed to undergo plastic surgery.
