Does anyone know how much the members of Momoclo make? I don't know if that's a rude thing to ask (though, Japanese taxes are public so the information should be readily available, right?). You'd imagine quite a lot considering how huge they are, but I've heard horror stories of idols making next to nothing.

Taxes are not public in Japan. In the past, the tax bureau made taxes public for the top earners among public figures, but this practice is no longer continued.

For most major-label recording idols, it is generally assumed that they are paid a salary in exchange for contractually obligated work, like music releases and concerts, for their label or agency. They likely perform as "work-for-hire" artists so that they are not owed royalties and have no copyright claims, and it allows a label to add and remove members without any issue. Any work that is not performed per contract to their agency, like TV, film, and magazines, is paid through performance and appearance fees as supplemental income. There is some debate as to whether or not they earn a bonus on merchandise featuring their image, but I'm inclined to believe that they don't. In any case, there is no hard evidence to support the conjectures surrounding most any idol's earnings (although there was a leak of the Johnny's idols top earners in the past, reportedly, which lines up with this theory), so this is merely educated speculation.

Hasnt Shiorin made remarks about how "filthy rich" they are? She is likely being sarcastic isnt it?. Or maybe they are that rich

Korea loves artists that flaunt the rich lifestyle, japan that is not so much.

kwkm-p probably is a stingy as they get as a manager. Didnt the girls complained once that they couldnt buy cream puffs at convenience stores because management scolded them for spending money on that kind of stuff

They couldn't buy cream puffs because it was over the spending limit when it comes to convenience stores. Each member it's given 600 yen making a total of 3000 yen to spend at the store for a meal. They went over to about 3100 once and were scolded. They had to return the item that caused the overspending and replace it with something else.
It was a way for them to stick to budgets and have self control when it comes to spending rather than yearning for the fancy stuff celebrities ask for. But considering it was like that since the beginning of the group, it's best to stick to that routine so they wouldn't be spoiled.

Well, it probably matters less the exact difference in money they're each bringing into the company and more on their ability to bargain with their management. I'm not so up on specifics, but I think I heard that AKB's Sasshi has her mother handle her agency or something --- which would help her avoid getting fleeced by the execs.

female idols have a very short career (most "graduate" under 25), i wouldnt be surpriced that momoclo are making loads of money now they are at their peak. they probably are rich for 20 years olds, but this money will have to last them til they find something new in life, that being a new career (in acting, variety shows or even business) or get married.

my favorite Johnny's scandal is still Kusanagi from SMAP getting drunk and running around naked in a park. if anything, it kind of made him more popular :))

I'd be surprised if Momoclo didn't transition into variety hosts at some point, but it's hard to say.

I think both Aarin and Shiorin would be fit for seiyuu since Shiorin was the first member to start when she portrayed Yume no Ke from Akumu-chan. Aarin did a good job on Saint Seiya as well so that's one way to go. But I think Aarin could go as a TV host since she's technically the main MC at the concerts but it depends on how they are as hosts for a general audience (hence the Tetsuko no Heya segment in MomoClo Chan).
Reni can go for as either an enka performer or one of those tv hosts that tours around different areas since Burari has been doing a lot of that currently. But due to the fact they haven't come out with new solo songs yet, we can't really tell how far she can go with enka when she only has two songs. But it would be nice for her to lend her voice to other genres that would suit her.
Momoka can go as either an actress or professional singer but again, it depends on her and how comfortable she is in different situations.

But I'm not looking towards that time yet because we don't know what will happen. Kawakami said to aim for the 2020 Olympics back in late 2013 which is in 5 years and no one knows what will happen those 5 years (not even the girls who claim to be the idols who have no idea what to do next. not even the next day). They can either become a professional singing group and ditch the idol title completely or go their separate ways depending on how they feel about their careers.
