The Taste of Money (Korean돈의 맛; RRDonui Mat) is a 2012 South Korean erotic thriller film about a conglomerate-owning family.[3][4]

It triggered controversy and hype with its portrayal of the lives of the privileged in Korean society, exploring themes of sex and money, greed and ambition. A decadent and sensational film that presents biting commentary on the rich and famous, it is Im Sang-soo's seventh film.[5][6]
