Here’s the complete list with all of the names. I’ve also copied and pasted below:
James Patterson ($94 million)
Stephen King ($39 million)
Janet Evanovich ($33 million)
John Grisham ($26 million)
Jeff Kinney ($25 million)
Bill O’Reilly ($24 million)

J. K. Rowling ($17 million)

Just curious, does the list surprise you? Have you ever met any of the authors on this list?
The only one I’ve ever met is Nora Roberts. She’s a member of my local RWA chapter and she’ll sometimes attend the yearly retreat.
I’ll be honest – I’d like to be on this list!
