JAMES PATTERSON – EST. $750 MILLION

Best-selling authors often have the honor to see their books adapted to movies, and James Patterson had that distinction dozens of times over the years. As one of the most celebrated book authors, he managed to earn an estimated $750 million dollar net worth. Credit reports and personal loans must be a joke to him as he has no need for either of them nowadays. Some of his most recognized works include “Alex Cross”, “Women’s Murder Club”, and “Witch And Wizard”.

He has topped Forbes’s list of the highest-paid authors multiple years over his career. Thankfully, Patterson is not the kind of person who spends the dividends from his investments only on himself. He has selflessly donated hefty sums for grants and scholarships and given to various charitable organizations, over the years. James is well-known for pushing literacy and being an activist for both reading and writing. We can’t wait to read what he imagines next!
