How much can you earn from writing? JK Rowling is worth 1 billion dollars, surpassing James Patterson and Danielle Steel, becoming the richest writer in the world.



The ranking is here:
🥇 J.K. Rowling - $1 billion (Harry Potter sold 600 million copies, 84 language versions)
🥈 James Patterson - $800 million (140+ works, global sales of 425 million copies)
🥉 Jim Davis - $800 million (Garfield cartoonist, serialized since 1978)

There is also Stephen King ( $500 million king of horror novels ), Greg Cardone ( $600 million business book author ).

The hardest part is that some even do animations (, the creator of "The Simpsons" makes $600 million ), and some are real cross-industry big shots. Writing books starts at $500,000 to $800,000 a year, and royalties + movie adaptations are where the real profits lie.
