Not sure how accurate those figures are but they sound reasonable given the size of the ad campaigns. I'm guessing Haley is also making additional money from the CHFIL downloads.
I also started thinking about the "others" ads in the Chase Masters series. Remember, when the SMYM's commercial was announced as one of four commercials in the Chase Masters series.
I suspect that thess numbers are in the general range, give or take a few hundred thousand

.. and perhaps a few hundred to the upside ...
Man... I keep writing and deleting long explanations to my thinking.
My rationale all comes down to comments she's been making about a "year of harvest" on AI and comments before live shoe songs like "success coming if you work for it", and "couldn't have had it happen any other way" and just what I see as changes in her demeanor.
As for those numbers, I'd estimate that even $750k (I'd guess those were earlier estimates) very quickly turns into $275k after partner/promoter/label or whatever you call them fees and the huge cut that the State (10% in CA nearly) and federal (reember self employment taxes on the first part and high rate on the rest) taxes take..
but even with that sort of haircut high earners get, l think her demeanor and actions suggest that she's got a few years living expenses in the bank... and it's not cheap for a young professional to live in LA even not extravagantly.. and more expensive for an aspiring star with incrementally more expensive beauty spa and clothing budgets than a young lawyer or something that also would be pretty high.
She's just been very confident.. so I think she must have more money in the bank and not be so critically concerned about where the next payday necessary to meet the bills might come from.
AND.. of course there is Personal pride in having both made that kind of money as well as the equally valuable association of having 10s of millions of people enjoying you practicing your art!
On top of the money in the bank from those sources, and the optimism that it's bound to happen again.. she's been renewed for the voice over work, making regular money from PMJ appearances, collecting other continued royalties etc.
----
On the other end of the scale though ... if she had made "Millions"(plural) ... I suspect we would have heard even more enthusiastic words between songs than the keep working and it will work well... at that level there'd be.. more "I can't believe it happened" sort of stuff
I'm really happy for her success and I'm sure it's within the order or magnitude cited..
... and even better.. I'm optimistic that the "I can't believe it happened" sorts of statements are near at hand!
