Hi, my biggest passion is write books, I just starting, but I will make my dream come true. You can follow me on my blog: Las palabras nos hacen volar (Spanish blog) or on 'The Words make us fly' (English blog)
Today I read an article about World's Top-Earning Authors published on forbes magazine.
(ranked between June 2012 and June 2013):
1. E.L. James ($95 million)
2. James Patterson ($91 million)
3. Suzanne Collins ($55 million)
4. Bill O'Reilly ($28 million)
5. Danielle Steel ($26 million)
6. Jeff Kinney ($24 million)
7. Janet Evanovich ($24 million)
8. Nora Roberts ($23 million)
9. Dan Brown ($22 million)
10.Stephen King ($20 million)
11. Dean Koontz ($20 million)
12. John Grisham ($18 million)
13. David Baldacci ($15 million)
14. Rick Riordan ($14 million)
15. J.K. Rowling ($13 million)
16. George R.R. Martin ($12 million)
First of the things I was surprised about its E.L. James in the first position. I know it is a big saga, but I never couldn't think that she will get first position (maybe because it was just a fanfic with flat characters.) I think the story only deserved one book, the rest of the books is for earn more money. And how we can see, she got it, more money.
