STEPHEN KING – $500 MILLION

This American author is one of the most successful and richest authors in history. Widely regarded all over the world for his horror novels and other supernatural stories, King has amassed an aggregate wealth unlike any other author we have ever seen. His books have sold over 350 million copies worldwide. Some of his works have also been produced into a motion picture, which became box-office hits as well.

These include Carrie, It, Stand by Me, Shawshank Redemption, and The Shining. No wonder why people call him the “King of Horror.” King owns several real estates that are as interesting as his stories. Take, for example, his 1870 Victorian Mansion, a summer home in the lake region of Maine, and the waterfront mansion on the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. King is also a philanthropist. He donates about $4 million to various libraries and schools. Props to him for not forgetting to share his abundant blessings.
