Yua Mikami recently revealed a secret from her past that she was once strictly told never to share.
Appearing on a popular variety show, the hot girl openly admitted for the first time that her management company banned her from talking about a sensitive topic: her earnings during her peak as a top influencer.
During an episode focused on money and wealth-building plans, guests shared their personal financial stories. When asked directly about her income at her peak, Yua Mikami didn’t dodge the question but didn’t reveal exact figures either.
She candidly explained that this was a topic she was strictly told to keep confidential. According to her, revealing her pay could lead to sensitive comparisons with colleagues and affect contract negotiations. Because of this, her management enforced a strict silence.
This revelation quickly caught attention since Yua Mikami’s income has long been a subject of public curiosity. Before retiring, she was considered one of the biggest names in the industry, with a huge fanbase not only in Japan but across many Asian countries. After leaving her previous career, she shifted to diverse artistic ventures, launched her own fashion brand, and became a familiar guest on many TV shows.
While not disclosing exact numbers, Yua Mikami dropped an interesting hint. She said when she decided to retire, she rewarded herself with a luxury watch worth 10 million yen (over 1.6 billion VND) to mark the milestone. Faced with rapid-fire questions from the host, she just smiled and asked fans to understand why she couldn’t say more.
Yua Mikami’s journey has had many ups and downs. She originally performed under her real name Kito Momona in the idol group SKE48. After personal setbacks, she left the group and chose a completely new path, quickly rising to the top in her new field. That’s why her income has always been a hot topic.
Her admission about being banned from speaking on this topic reveals the hidden struggles behind the spotlight. After everything, today’s Yua Mikami seems more open reflecting on her past, while still maintaining the necessary discretion.
