Hamasaki Ayumi makes more money than Utada Hikaru

Japanese taxpayer info was released on May 16. Ayumi paid 377,610,000 yen in taxes. Her estimated income is 1,027,300,000 yen (US$8,860,000), which is about 10% less than what she made last year. Hikki paid 343,580,000 yen in taxes. Based on this her income is estimated to be 935,300,000 yen (US$8,060,000). Ayu is the 37th biggest taxpayer in Japan (last year she was 39th). Hikki's rank is 51. Ayumi's boyfriend Tomoya Nagase made about 75,190,000 yen (US$ 648,000).

She's 37th biggest taxpayer in Japan, but she's the #1 singer taxpayer in Japan. haha No other singer pays more taxes than she. Hikki is #2.

I remember seeing those figures at another site somewhere, but it really is interesting to know. I guess Ayu's income declined from the slowing rate of releases she's making instead of having singles out so frequently in the past.

The number 1 taxpayer was the chairman of Zenyaki Kogyo Co., Ltd (a privately-held pharmaceutical company).
