"While the publishing industry has struggled to come up with a
"Happily Ever After" storyline in recent years, there's still plenty
of money to be made in the business of books," claims Forbes listing
the 10 best paid authors.
J.K. Rowling tops the list with an earning this year of $300 million,
followed by James Patterson ($50 million), Stephen King ($45 million),
Tom Clancy ($35 million), Danielle Steele ($30 million). "Others on
the list: Nicholas Sparks, Janet Evanovich, John Grisham, Dean Koontz
and, thanks to a little Oprah magic, Ken Follett," says Forbes.
