Female Idol Estimated Annual Income Ranking

The female idol market has BOOMED in the past couple of years, catapulting hundreds and hundreds of young girls into the spotlight.

Exciting MAX! magazine has recently published a rankingĀ in their August 2014 issue about the (alleged) yearly earnings of female idols. These numbers consider their tenture within their company and also includes their outside activities like magazines, media appearances, acting, etc. It’sĀ  important to note that there are additional various expenses that aren’t revealed to the public like housing and transportation supplied by their companies so those are not accounted for in these numbers. Take everything you read here with a grain of salt.

At the time of writing this post, 1 million yen is roughly $9,870 USD.
