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.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I had no idea the 'Wimpy Kids' books were better selling than King's books.
A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.

WOW I guess the Kings' are going to have to start shopping at Costco and the grandkids will have to attend community college now.
