Ayumi and richness

[anna_ayu]

I read an article about tourism in Japan and I´m curious about an info.

It´s about the most famous cities of Japan to visit and Fukuoka was listed. The article said that Fukuoka is a cultural city and important in musical scenery, because many Japanese singers was born in Fukuoka and it listed some names and Ayumi, of course, was there. So the article said that Ayu is allegedly the most rich woman in Japan. Anyone knows if can be true?

Probably one of the richest solo female artists... not sure about women in general.

It´s a portuguese article. I can´t find the original link, but here there is a text very similar to original text.

The part is:

"Fukuoka tem produzido número de artistas musicais de sucesso muito maior que qualquer outra cidade do Japão. Grandes nomes do J-pop incluem Ayumi Hamasaki (alegadamente a mulher mais rica do Japão)".

Using the babylon tradutor:

Big names such as J-pop include Ayumi Hamasaki (allegedly the woman more rich in Japan).

She is rich ! Probably in the top 5/10 among japanese singers but overall she isn't ! Look at this article by Forbes entitled "japan's 50 richest".

we talked bout this here before,Ayu at no 7,most rich female singer in the world

in 2002, shes is the highest tax payer?something like that and also the highest earning female singer,of course during her peak

[TeamAyu2004]

I know Japan doesn't really release gross pay because its considered rude and they go by tax payer.
So the person that paid the most tax in a year made the most that year.
I don't think she has been in the top for awhile now, but she might be in the top 10?

[anna_ayu]

But she is in top 10, she is rich. Last year she had profits in business.
