# Authors Are Quietly Getting Insanely Rich — Here's Who's Making Bank
Forget tech CEOs and athletes. Some of the world's wealthiest people are... writers. Yeah, seriously.
JK Rowling tops the list with a jaw-dropping **$1 billion net worth** — making her the first author ever to hit that milestone. Her Harry Potter empire sold 600M+ copies and spawned a media franchise worth billions.
Closing in behind her:
- **James Patterson**: $800M (wrote 140+ novels, 425M copies sold)
- **Jim Davis**: $800M (Garfield made him richer than most CEOs)
- **Danielle Steel**: $600M (180+ books, still churning out bestsellers)
- **Stephen King**: $500M (sold 350M+ copies of horror classics)
But here's the wild part: **John Grisham makes $50-80M annually** just from royalties and film rights. His legal thrillers keep printing money decades later.
The takeaway? A hit book franchise compounds harder than crypto. One good idea, unlimited copies, infinite revenue streams. Not bad.
