Olivia Harrison tops annual list of highest-paid authors

In 2021 it looked like the author’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 18) that Harrison is the highest-paid author in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $20 million lead over her 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 Mexican author has an estimated net worth of $145 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Harrison Burger” chain) in Mexico City, a Football Team (the “Mexico City Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderharrison - Mexico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Olivia) and a fashion line called “Olivia Harrison Seduction”.

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