She might move up a bit if she continues on as a 'regular' pop star, but I think the Hannah Montana stuff was more limiting since it was marketed predominately to adolescents. Not that that stops anyone who isn't a teenager from getting her music...

Congratulations, Ayu :D

they forgot to mention lady gaga who earned about 200 million dollars

its pretty amazing for ayu to be ranked to high in front of a lot of US singers

Wow, the only Asian among the list.:luv2

Boom. :P

I'm happy with this list. XD Not that these sort of numbers matter and make me love her more or less, but congratulations to her. Haha ;)

she compared on NY daily?? yay, congrats

wow, she even beat Rihanna and Shakira! and Aguilera???

do you have a link to that article instead of just the website? I would like to see too :yes

WOW Ayu's fortune is bigger than 400 million dollars... That's a lot of money xD

Wow, go Ayu! I wonder how much of this went into her own pocket? Either way, she is dang rich!

I marked this thread as probably fake. There is no such info on either the New York Daily News or the Forbes websites.

^Yeah, nor does that Pure People website link even mention Ayu from what I can tell.

That says nothing about Ayu.

faaaaake!

Congrats to her if this is true! :) It's weird that she's beaten Beyonce Knowles! :P

A lot of articles and websites often omit artists like Ayumi from these kinds of lists simply because they're not widely known. She may indeed be in the list and has been in other such lists but a lot of media just doesn't include her or other overseas artists because the general public doesn't recognize them.

Actually it does. She's right after Cher and before Beyonce Knowles.

I dunno about that site so I can't say that its true.

But I do think that she is one of the richest female singers.

huh, that's weird. I did CTRL+F on firefox to see if her name was on the page and it didn't count the article as the text. I actually had to read it to see it and I DO see it now. :P

I know Ayu is rich but I have a hard time believing this unless it comes from a more reliable source.

If this really came from the New York Daily News or Forbes, it could be found easily.

The closest thing from Forbes is this article which says that Beyonce earned 87 million in this year alone. http://www.forbes.com/2010/07/23/bes...-under-30.html

but on forbes ayu ever mentioned that she earned 180 million in 2002,,,,

look around, her name is there. or should i take a picture and highlight it

either way i still think its fake , even if it came from forbes ^^

It's a shame it's not likely to be real. But I'd imagine shes earnt around this amount anyway!

Woahh She earned alot of money :O That's good for her. Being one of the richest in that age.

anyway these datas are probable

Spoiler:

Ayumi Hamasaki, 31 – US$ 400 million <<--- THIS IS NOT CORRECT!

Ayu is worth respectively around 400 Million YEN, NOT US Dollars. (obviously who ever made this didn't take that into account)

If AYU were to be even close to 400 Million US her net worth in yen would have to be respectively around: 33,498,741,357.06 Billion YEN -- WHICH SHE ISN"T EVEN CLOSE TO.

100,000,000.00 Million YEN is roughly around 1 Million USD (give or take).

Also if ayu got around 9 Million Yen back in taxes for the year of 2008, she would have gotten around 108,000.00 USD worth of money for her tax return.

For example if ayu made 300,000,000.00 Million Yen from her Secret Album and another 340,000,000.00 Million Yen from the Secret Tour (including Ticket sales, and concert merchandise sold) the total would be around: 7.64 Million US Dollars for that year excluding any single sales, endoursements, etc.

i heard Utada was wealthier than Ayu though O_O eh maybe my sources are wrong XD I thought she was cause of the the deals with Playstation and doing the Kingdom Hearts stuff...huh, interesting.

Based on the latest figures on singles/album sales in Japan, Ayu has sold 49.01m vs Hikki's 35.72m. And this doesn't even include DVD sales etc.

There are yearly reports on the tax returns of celebrities in Japan. Unless someone makes a compilation of those lists, it's hard to know how much wealth Ayu, Hikki or any other singer has amassed over the years.

Ayu also tours regularly every year but Utada doesn't. No doubt playstation/Kingdom Hearts is a big source of income for Utada but Ayu also has her investments in Liz Lisa etc, aside from what she makes as an artist.
