Oh my goodness. I had no idea she is worth that much! Get that cash girl!!!

[TeamAyu2004]

^^ really? In 210 it was at 400 million.. so it almsot doubled in 2 years... thats amazing..

but it is my understanding that in japan salaries and what not are never told to anyone, but people tend to figure it out by how much tax one pays in the country.. which I do believe that is public knowledge.. so just find out how much tax she pays and you can figure it out!

[setsuka]

lol 750 million is a little far-fetched, but I do think she is in the hundreds of millions

but who knows ~

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^no no guys, my ~$750 million was from like 2004 or something. I could've sworn it was in a magazine somewhere. Maybe that Time article? I'm not sure.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ the time article was done in 2010 and it said she was the 7 most power/richest female artist in the world. It said she was around 400 million and was the only Asian artist on the list.

Is that source even credible? Well I guess.

All we know is that during her peak, her sales account for almost half (as far as I can remember I think it was 40-50%) of the revenue of Avex, and her sales in 2001 shattered everyone else in a whooping 24 billion yen.

And not to question. She can even pay a first class seat for her teddy bear lol

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Well, even if I was off a bit, ~$400 million is still an enormous wealth.

Yea and to think her main targeted market is only Japan. What if she would go global? MADONNA BETTER GET YOUR ASS UP AYU IS COMING TO GET YOU LOOOL jk

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^LOL I'm sure that old bag is worth something too.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ according to the same article Madonna was number one i believe...
And what do you mean is it creditable?
It's Time magazine

[pommy48]

^ I think the "Time" article you're talking about is the New York Times one that just led to a dead link..so that's why it's not creditable

Sorry, I was talking about this list. I dunno if TIME really did say Ayu is worth 400-fukkin-million bucks, then this allegedly fake list is somehow true. HOMAYGAD SO IS TRUE THAT AYU SLEEPS ON A BED OF CASH?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I mean if she were worth ~$400 million, would it really be that hard to believe? Lol....no

[TeamAyu2004]

^ I wouldn't be surprised if she was worth more than that. Didn't she buy a huge portion of Avex when she was fighting with them?

I'm not too sure where i remember reading it, but I thought it was somewhere posted about the Asian version of time magazine..
I could be wrong though... that other article could be just as good however.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Yeah, it very well may be more, what with her owning stocks in Avex.

[microphone]

She does not see that much money in her bank account. Madonna does not see $700,000,000 (or however much the magazine claims she is worth) in her bank account. They are very wealthy women but their salaries are no where near those cited numbers.

I believe there is a source that tells the amount of tax paid by wealthy celebrities and business owners. I think the year was 2002 and Ayumi allegedly paid the highest tax out of any Japanese woman. My memory is fuzzy though. I'm probably wrong. I don't know where I'm going with this... I've been up for 14 hours studying.. Sorry.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^Of course that much isn't in their bank accounts...lol most of their assets probably AREN'T liquidated. I'm sure ayu's balance is pretty hefty, but a lot of her fortune is also tied up in Avex.

[TeamAyu2004]

Yean when ever it says how much someone is worth that does not mean how much they have in bank accounts...
just that.. i guess, if needed, they could obtain that much?
