Frank Miller tops annual list of highest-paid authors

In 2022 it looked like the author’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (November 21) that Miller is the highest-paid author in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American author-director has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Miller Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Olney Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermiller - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Frank) and a fashion line called “Frank Miller Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Frank fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
