Most Successful Author
Mark Twain probably is the
highest-paid American author of
all time. Harper’s became his
sole publishers in 1896. Early fig
ures are lacking, but since the
author’s death, in 1910, the pub
lishers have paid into the estate
more than $1,250,000 in royalties.
These figures do not include huge
royalties from stage and screen
nor do they account for the enor
mous earnings of Mark Twain as
his own publisher.
Since 1896 Harper’s have sold
more than 6,500,000 volumes of
the humorist’s work.
