That can buy a girl a lot of anal beads!
Fifty Shades of Grey author EL James is kind of having a good year.
In March, Universal optioned the film rights to her material for $5 mil.
Her novels are shattering every sales record known to man or beast, she’s raking in almost 200k each day, and is probably due for a $20 mil royalty check in September!!
So how does a book about ball gags generate so much revenue??
It doesn’t hurt that it’s sold 20 million copies in only four months of being in print. It’s a book buying frenzy of biblical proportions!
Wait, no. That’s wrong. This is far outselling The Bible right now!
It helps such a high percentage of readers are shamed into reading Fifty Shades in secret, because royalties from eBooks are ultra-hefty!
A high-powered executive might be mocked for being caught with Twilight inspired porn on her desk — but if she purchases a copy of it on her Kindle, she can dream a little dream about Alexander Skarsgard in private with no one the wiser.
What we want to know what Mizz James will do with her new found wealth?
Will she hit up Kat Von D for a sweet Snowqueens Icedragon tattoo on her back in honor of her original pseudonym??
She can probably afford to pay a few stars of Breaking Dawn: Part 2 to make an costumed appearance at her next birthday party!
Maybe she has finally got the cash to sign up for an intermediate writing class at her local Community College!
