Psy only made $32,000 USD from domestic online sales of “Gangnam Style”?

Make sure you read that article, those are Domestic (Korean) sales where prices are a lot lower. This is partly because songs in Korea are so much cheaper than other songs to download. At the cheapest, American songs are 791 KRW (approximately $0.71 USD), Canadian songs are 804 KRW (approximately $0.72 USD), and British songs are 1064 KRW (approximately $0.96 USD), but Korean songs on average are at 63 KRW (approximately $0.06 USD).

and

his other sales outside of domestic online sales combined are estimated to have reached 100 billion KRW (approximately $90 million USD).
