Riding on the viral hit of Psy's "Gangnam Style" and surging YG stock prices, Yang Hyun Suk was on top of the entertainment world for quite a while in terms of stock wealth (at one point having stock holdings worth over $200,000,000 USD).
Even back in September, it was revealed that Yang Hyun Suk�was wealthiest in terms of stock in the entertainment business with SM Entertainment's�Lee Soo Man trailing behind in second. However, the tables have turned according to a December 3 report on�Chaebul.com.
This time, Lee Soo Man came out on top as the wealthiest stockholder in the entertainment industry. �He beat Yang Hyun Suk for the number one spot with stock holdings currently worth 187 billion won (~ $176 million USD). �
His value had decreased nearly 8.4 billion won (~ $7.9 million USD) from the beginning of the year (4.3%), but Yang Hyun Suk's value had suffered a greater fall of 48.7 billion won (~ $45.8 million USD), a startling 21.9% drop, which is how this switch occurred in the latest report.�

JYP Entertainment's J.Y. Park came in third because of his number of shares grew more than four times the original amount after the business merger. �J.Y. Park's stock holdings grew, increasing his stock value from 7.4 billion won (~ $7 million USD) to 24.6 billion (~ $23 million USD). �
