Actually, the largest endorsement deal that she, and any Japanese solo artist, ever got is 100,000,000 yen from Panasonic. That's $920,000 per product. Take into consideration that the absolute majority of that money goes to AVEX.

Utada Hikaru is the only other female artist that has ever been paid that much.

Remember that also the tour and merchandise profits all go to AVEX, Ayumi is paid a set sum for each tour/performance or so, by what I know she doesn't get a % of the profits. There was a thread going in-depth with how Ayumi's contracts most likely work a few years back.
