To clear things a little up.^^ (And I hope I'm right... XD)
The article speaks about Ayu as the "Highest grossing female artist of the year". That means Ayu earns 30.906 billion yen as gross salary.
(I don't know how to explain gross, please look it up if you don't know its translation.)
But that's her taxable income! I don't know how high her taxes are, but I guess they are very high. All the more you earn, all the more you have to pay taxes.
So what she has left in the end as her net pay will be considerably lesser.
I hope that helps (and I'm right... XD).
