It has been revealed JK Rowling is the world’s highest-earning author – she makes an outstanding £5 per second. She has made a total of £170m in just over 11 years. Her income was six times more than the next-biggest earner, James Patterson, of Along Came A Spider fame. Here’s the full list: 1. JK Rowling - $300m (£170m) 2. James Patterson - $50m (£28m) 3. Stephen King - $45m (£25m) 4. Tom Clancy - $35m (£20m) 5. Danielle Steel - $30m (£17m) 6. John Grisham - $25m (£14m) 6. Dean Koontz - $25m (£14m) 8. Ken Follett - $20m (£11m) 9. Janet Evanovich - $17m (£10m) 10. Nicholas Sparks - $16m (£9m) Source: Forbes magazine I worked alongside her a few years ago (and yes I have been in her study!!!). Around this time she did the kindest thing I have ever known. I won’t reveal the details but I think she deserves every single penny. References: news.bbcFiled In: |
