Who says authors dont make money? If the recent reports are to be believed then author of the Fifty Shades of Grey bondage trilogy, raked in almost £20m last year, with a profit of £9.8m.
The accounts show that James, 52, took a dividend of £2.6m from the company last year, compared with £3.2m in 2013. Almost £1m was given to charity. While last year’s profits pale against the £25m made the previous year, the accounts confirm that James’s fortune continues to grow. Last year she was sitting on cash and shares in her company worth more than £37m, up from just under £30m in 2013.
However, James still has some way to go to beat JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter and Robert Galbraith books have sold more than 400m copies.
