Ex-President Park Geun-hye reported that her assets grew W1.18 billion during her four-year tenure to total W3.7 billion as of last year (US$1=W1,123).

In 2016 alone, Park's assets increased by W219 million.

According to data from the Government Public Ethics Committee, Park's home in the posh Samseong-dong area in southern Seoul is valued at W2.7 billion, up W180 million from the year before. Also, Park held W1.03 billion in deposits, up W39 million.

Park reported her total assets at W2.56 billion when she took office in 2013, and that has grown by W200 million to W300 million each year.

Her wealth increased primarily due to the increased value of her home, savings and revenues from her autobiography. Park earned around W210 million a year when she was president and put most of that into her savings account.

When she took office, Park's home was valued at W2.3 billion. It has risen by W410 million since then, though estate agents believe the actual value is twice the reported amount.

Park also reported deposits of W239 million, which grew to W1.03 billion until her ouster earlier this month. Last year her deposits grew only W39 million last year, probably because of her legal costs in defending herself against impeachment and criminal charges.
