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

^

hope this work

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 ^^
