Once again, Forbes Magazine estimated the earnings of the most popular writers in the world. The period from June 2018 to the end of May 2019 was analyzed. J.K. Rowling, who in recent years regularly competes for primacy with the second-place winner, returned to the first position. One surprise is the fact that this year's list contains only five names.
1. J.K. Rowling – $92 million
2. James Patterson – $70 million
3. Michelle Obama – $36 million
4. Jeff Kinney – $20 million
5. Stephen King – $17 million.
