Unconsciously, Lin Han's net worth has accumulated to the level of hundreds of millions of yuan, which is a number that he never dared to imagine before, and even how many zeros there are in the back have to think carefully. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It is even important to consider that many booksellers still have a backlog of royalties in recent months, most of which are delayed by half a year, and most of the time they are three months ahead because of Lin Han!

Of course, there are also some writers who have already received an advance payment for their works before they go on sale, and can receive up to 10 million US dollars.

Only after the remuneration generated by the sale exceeds 10 million US dollars, the remaining part will be paid, which is equivalent to a gamble.

But anyone who can get a high advance remuneration is selling extremely well in the market, such as the memoirs of US President Obama was revealed to be 20 million US dollars in advance remuneration!

Around the world, there are many people who can make money with the pen, but the club of the world's top best-selling authors is a high-threshold circle, and it is not easy for writers to get a good ranking.

Even if Lin Han gets a salary of nearly 100 million US dollars in two years, it is not the most in the world, and many writers are not conspicuous in China, but they can always surprise people in the world!

Due to cultural differences, the sales of domestic writers' works overseas have never been very high, so there are never Chinese writers among the world's top best-selling authors, even Asian writers are pitiful.

After Lin Han read his bank statement, he shredded it with a shredder, so that his wealth would not be exposed, and he would save some unnecessary trouble.

"Mr. Lin, our bank has a private banking butler service for high-end users, if the money on your bank card is only put on the current account is not cost-effective, it is recommended that you do financial management here with us, there will be a special expert advisory group to make the most investment options for asset allocation. ”

The teller of this bank is very distressed, this is all naked performance, as long as Lin Han's account is put in her own name, let alone this year, I am afraid that next year's task can be completed at once, so she can't care about being shy, and directly recommends it.

However, Chen Jiaxuan and Lin Han also had their own plans, they smiled and said: "Don't use it for the time being, I will need the money recently, and I will have the opportunity to choose your bank in the future." ”

This is not an excuse, since there is so much money, just put it on the company's side, it happens that there are a lot of projects, if you can increase investment in projects such as "Jurassic Park", the return must be very gratifying!

Missing such a big customer, the teller was almost dripping blood in his heart, but he still had to force a smile to watch the pair of golden boys and girls leave, which was extremely sadistic.

……

In the car, Lin Han skillfully began to shift gears, while Chen Jiaxuan sat in the passenger seat, fastened the seat belt and then slowly slid out of the temporary stop and drove towards his villa.

"Now I'm a little worried, how can I spend so much money!"

This is probably the trouble of the rich, for Lin Han's character who is a little rich and peaceful, no matter how much money is just a number, how to spend it is still a problem.

Chen Jiaxuan smiled, and she quipped: "If you don't know how to spend it, I can help you introduce a few masters." Some of the small ones in our compound are best at spending money, and some time ago someone went to charter an island to play, and it is said that it cost eight million in five days!"

"Forget it, that kind of life will definitely not be pursued. I think it's better to donate to primary schools and libraries in underdeveloped areas in the west. ”

It is a kind of luck to be reborn into this world, Lin Han feels that he has made so much money with other people's works, and it is also good to give back to the society through charity.

"In fact, the plan to donate libraries has been implemented all along, and 11 small libraries have been donated in the Yunnan-Guichuan area, and the books in them are replenished every month. ”

This is the reason why Lin Han's two assistants are often absent from Yanjing, except for them, the media knows nothing, and true charity does not need to be publicized with great fanfare!

"That's good, let's set a small goal, build a primary school and library every month. "It takes about 300,000 to 800,000 yuan to donate a hope novel, and Lin Han has no problem paying for this.

He's not a saint, and he can help a little bit.

Chen Jiaxuan also knows that according to his financial resources, these are just a drop in the bucket, and it is very meaningful to be able to help others and cultivate more readers!

While the two were chatting, the news on the car radio began to play topics that interested them.

In the evening news of the Voice of CCTV, the host said in standard Mandarin: "Just now, Forbes magazine in the United States announced the global writer income list on its official website. In the past year, these wealthy writers have continued to sprint, and American writers occupy the top five places on the list, and it is worth mentioning that China's famous science fiction writer Lin Han also entered the list for the first time, and ranked second!"

"Do you hear that? You're actually airborne, I really want to know who is first. Chen Jiaxuan said excitedly, she was used to Lin Han being the first on the major lists, and now she was a little unaccustomed to becoming second at first glance.

Lin Han stretched out his hand to turn up the volume of the radio a little, and I don't know how Forbes magazine estimated, this list has little substantive significance, just to entertain the public!

"Writers make a lot of money, and in addition to the astronomical sales of books, another important reason for their huge wealth is that their works have been adapted for television and film. The earnings of writers on this list are assessed by The Nielsen Company. Nielsen calculates the revenue generated by print, e-book, audiobook sales, and TV and movies, and combines them with conversations with writers, agencies, publishers and experts in other fields. The income of the writers on the list is counted from October 2016 to October 2017, in order of pre-tax income!"

James Patterson, the American writer of detective novels, thrillers, and children's literature, has topped the annual grossing crown for the third year in a row, earning a staggering $95 million in the past year, and one out of every 17 hardcover books sold in the U.S. market belongs to Patterson. ”

After hearing this terrifying income, Lin Han couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Chen Jiaxuan, he earned nearly 100 million US dollars in a year, ranking first Sure enough, there are a few brushes, and he has earned 100 million in two years, and he still feels that it is a lot, and there is a gap in comparison!

Lin Han once played with James Patterson on the New York Times bestseller list, and they won and lost each other, snatching each other's first place, and this time they met on the income list, which is quite fateful.

However, Lin Han has no other emotions except envy, because James Patterson is not a demon, and the book sales of the two are just normal collisions, and they are admirable opponents!

Time magazine once called James Patterson "the man who never misses", and even won the most popular title in the domestic "Reader's Digest" selection.

In order to get a place on the income list, you have to not only sell enough, but also write enough, even if James Patterson is already so rich, he has not relaxed himself, in the past 12 months, he has published 16 books, which is even more efficient than Lin Han!

In North America alone, he has sold more than 10 million copies of his books this year, and with television stations and film production companies buying his rights, it's no surprise that he earned $95 million.

The voice of the host in the radio station did not stop, and after introducing the first, it was Lin Han's turn, and the host said: "Lin Han, who is in second place, has an income of 72 million US dollars, which is still a big gap from the first, which also shows how Patterson's huge income is out of reach." ”

"But when it comes to who is most likely to upset Patterson's rule, it's Lin Han. Because the third-place J.K. Rowling's income is only 28 million US dollars, the gap from the top two is very obvious! The end of the Harry Potter series has caused Ms. Rowling's income to plummet, although the previous series continues to attract money, but compared with the considerable income of previous movie adaptations, it is still a big difference. However, this year's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be released in a row, the novel will be a big hit, and the box office of the movie will reach $800 million, and Rowling, who swept the list before, is about to return!"

In the subsequent earnings rankings, the rest of the writers are not far behind, John Grisham in fourth place is 24 million US dollars, Stephen King in fifth place and Daniel Stephen in sixth place are 21 million and 18 million respectively, writing "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" George G. R.R. Martin's income of 15 million ranked seventh.

The gap between the top two and the latter writers is too obvious, Lin Han never expected that he would be so far ahead, he is becoming more and more influential in the world youth reader market!

At the moment, the highly-anticipated "Hyperion" has not yet been released overseas, and this science fiction novel, which has already achieved excellent results in China, has also received enthusiastic responses overseas.

Only the appearance of phenomenal works and the number of works can pull Patterson off the top of the list of writers he has occupied for a long time, Lin Han is looking forward to that day, and even now his fingers are itching, and he can't wait to go home and code words!

People can write 16 books a year, and they write 7 books, there is still a difference in this speed, I thought that this number was already terrifying, but I didn't expect that the strong have their own strong players!

********************************

Regarding the income of this writer, the first place James Patterson data is the real data, 95 million US dollars, and the rest of the writers have all improved a little because of the content of the novel, otherwise the second place is less than 20 million US dollars, and the old man is too far ahead!
