Ken's income in advertisement has increased three times, after TLS
Here is a brief translation:
A newspaper here in Hong Kong, the Apple Daily, said that Ken's income on advertisment has been increased in three times after The Last Samurai.
According to NikkanSports, before TLS, Ken got 35 million Japanese Yen (i.e. HK$ 2.6 million, or US$ 0.3 million). After the TLS, he gets 3 times his original price, that is 100 million Japanese Yen (or HK$ 7.4 million, US$ 1 million).
Good to know that his income has been increased. But I think he really need someone, like Financial Planner, to manage his income. Or simply no need to manage at this moment, if he has to pay his wife's debt.
