Sailor Moon Income

Post by Jonathan » Fri Jun 13, 2008 1:55 am

Ok, everybody knos that Sailor Moon was a huge hit, and eventually came to be known all over the world. But my question is, how much do you think she netted for Naoko Takeuchi?

During Sailor Moon's moment in the sun, how much do you think Naoko Takeuchi made off of it? Does she still get some type of income today from her most famous work?

Discuss.

Words of Advice:
1. Always remember you are normal, it everyone else that "weird".
2. Remember Ferengi Rules of Acquisition #76: Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.
3. Jack may be nimble and Jack may be quick, but he still burned his a** on the candlestick.

I don't know considering BSSM was FAR more popular in Asia than it was in Europe and the US. There was a lot of merchandise released in Asia but very little in the US and barely any in the UK. She probably did make a decent profit though.
