JAMES PATTERSON – $800 MILLION

A lot of aspiring authors look up to James Patterson as their inspiration and we have no reason to oppose that. After all, he’s one of the most successful authors in the literary world and one of the very first few authors to venture onto the e-book platform. From the looks of things, he’s not afraid to take the leap and accepts change as part of the process. Just look at his e-book sales, it is astonishing! For those who don’t know, he’s the first person to break the 1 million mark for e-book sales and his net worth of around $800 million is a testament of his greatness and top-notch money management skills.

He’s currently in his early 70s and a lot of people at this age range would like to spend most of their days on vacations and doing other fun stuff. However, Patterson doesn’t like to indulge himself in those kinds of ideas and is still working on a couple of projects even to this day.
