The closest estimate I've seen anywhere online is in wikipedia's list of the best selling artists worldwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._music_artists estimates Ayumi has sold around 80 million. We know her certified sales in Japan alone topped 50 million in summer of 2012. I just wish we knew exactly what she's sold over her career. I think it would make the yearly sales drops seem far less drastic if we knew that she was selling well digitally, or doing really well internationally. I'd hate to think I've been sitting over here thinking Ayumi isn't all that popular if her albums are still selling 500k globally. :\
