    Pretty good!

    5. Stephen King ($17 million)

    The king of horror’s earnings dropped by $10 million from last year, when he collected an eight-figure paycheck from the blockbuster It movie adaptation.

    4. Jeff Kinney ($20 million)

    The author of the beloved Diary of a Wimpy Kid children’s series sold 3.6 million domestic units in 12 months.

    3. Michelle Obama ($36 million)

    The former First Lady is the only newcomer to this year’s author rankings. Her memoir, Becoming, sold more than 10 million copies across formats during our timeframe.

    2. James Patterson ($70 million)

    America’s richest author sold more than 5.5 million domestic units during our scoring period. The President Is Missing, which Patterson co-wrote with Bill Clinton, was the bestselling adult fiction novel of 2018.

    1. J.K. Rowling ($92 million)

    Book sales no longer account for the lion’s share of the Harry Potter scribe’s earnings. Rowling collected eight-figure sums from theme parks, theatrical productions and a new film about The Boy Who Lived.

    I had no idea the 'Wimpy Kids' books were better selling than King's books.
