Do you think that the rich are all businessmen? Wrong. Just take a look at the fortunes of these writers—



J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter) ranks first with a net worth of $1 billion, making her the first author in the world to reach this figure. James Patterson and Jim Davis each have $800 million. Danielle Steel, Grant Cardone, and Matt Groening are all at the $600 million level.

Compared to them, you may have heard of Stephen King and Paulo Coelho, each with 500 million, while John Grisham has at least 400 million.

The most ridiculous thing is — Grisham can earn $50-80 million a year just from book and movie royalties. Danielle Steel has written over 180 novels with 800 million copies sold. Stephen King has published more than 60 works, selling 350 million copies.

This is why some people say that writing a book correctly can earn more than starting a business.
