Ayu on the other hand still has 9 years worth of loyal fans who will make sure that she's still queen :P

Actually, Koda has recently had a lot more endorsement deals than Ayu. Ayu is pretty much only Panasonic now and Morinaga-Weider occasionally. Since endorsement deals are a lot more simple deal than royalities and all that, I'm sure Kuu is pulling quite a nice piece of the pie.
As far as it comes to Hikki, it's possible she denied any kind of inlook to her earnings or even any information that could be a source for estimation.
Since that whole 'highest taxpayers' list ceased few years ago, and while, as I bet, performers don't really go around telling everyone how much they earn, all these numbers must be just speculations.
