A bit more than 50 thousand.

And kumi got her popularity after ayu's popularity decreased...
It isn't a good sign for kumi =\
I'm happy that at least ayu is still hugely popular...

[zoomzoom]

Good for her. Thats like 3,6 million dollars

[evolution7931]

3,583,263$US
Hm, I thought Ayu was richer than that.. is that even considered a lot for a celeb? I dunno, I thought she'd get like $10 million a year..

$3.5 million thats like.. a house. A nice house, but.. a house.

[ayumisrael]

^Well she must have millions of savings from past years...
Specially from 1999~2004, and she already has a house I suppose so can use it for other stuff and keep living up up there XD

It's a lot for a Japanese celebrity. Japanese celebrities recieve alot less than American artists do, even if they are high sellers because the Japanese music industry's business structure is very different from the American one.

I agree! Ayu is still the best and the fans are very loyal!

[gothicayu]

yeah! absolutely the best!
and for all of us, lets keep on the 'loyal' thing for the next 10years or maybe more, as long as ayu still in the business and releasing new materials!
lets keep supporting her and show the world who is the real Queen (at least in Asia)

[mui-gei-tal]

she's so wealthy *_*

[Bigtop]

Both Ayu and Kuu are doing their best - they're the best and hottest female Japanese pop soloists in Japan and around Asia. I hope they do well...

[IYFreak]

Does this mean Ayu will get the Oricon award this year for best selling artost?

and I hope someone doesn't say that she can't because she doesn't accept awards. Your not nominated for this award.
