^Wait a hot minute, I have a question: how did you figure out that she had an estimated income of $350 million? Ayu was recently listed in the Top 10 of Forbes as the only Asian in its Richest Women in the World ranks, and she had a definite $400 million. While I'm positive that Utada has made quite the bundle from mostly from her prodigious album sales, keep in my mind that 101 yen is about equal to ONE U.S. dollar; I'm pretty sure we can concede that's she's not banking it like Ayu because she lacks that overexposure and gaudiness of typical idols (not a problem or flaw in my view mind you )...Usually Japan is great to keep the wealthiest individuals in their nation top secret, by disclosing the highest tax payers and not their actual incomes. Where did you estimate or even find out that sort of figure?
