Her most notable work Twilight Fan fiction later on became Fifty Shades of Grey and was published by Vintage Books. Later on it went on to become a film adaptation as well. James herself is shocked at the awesome response to her trilogy. She actually began writing in January 2009 and since the twilight saga dint look back. Forbes listed her in their highest earning authors’ top list with a sale of 95 million dollars and extra 5 million for the film rights. The series has become both popular and controversial due to its content of explicit sex scenes and BDSM lifestyle.

Personal life

Raised in Buckinghamshire, James studied history at University of Kent, before becoming a Studio manager’s assistant at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield. She also worked as a television executive and currently resides in west London with her husband Niall Leonard whom she married in 1987. Leonard and James have two teenage sons. Niall Leonard is himself a director and screen writer.

Earnings

El James by far is the highest earning author according to the Forbes list. It is safe to assume she is earning the standard 7% royalty on every $14 paperback and 25% royalty on every 10$ eBook. In the last month over 4 million paperback were sold and around 1 million eBooks.which gives us around 3 million dollars each in paperback and eBook royalties. That is quiet an amount. She is making about 1 million dollars weekly. Well for such a huge earning people have never noticed her go on a spending sprees and hasn’t bought any expensive collectibles as well. Fifty shades is an upcoming film being directed by Sam Taylor- Wood and screenplay by Kelly Marcel, Patrick Marber and Mark Bomback based on EL James’ best selling novel fifty shades of grey.

Net Worth

London Home

She currently lives in a 350,000 pounds modest terrace apartment and has set her sights on a 3 million pounds mansion in the heart of London city. That mansion has seven bedrooms and an indoor swimming pool. A 17^th century Queen Anne mansion also has a wine stellar, large country style kitchen and a landscaped walled garden complete with summer house. Their new property will not be much far from their current house which they have owned since 1998. But it is a little surprise that James is looking to invest her cash because she had denied interviews that she has no intentions of earning large sums of money, she just loves writing.

Porsche

In an incident of car crash in which this Porsche was involved and said to have been driven by her brother himself. It has been said that the car is owned by James only. Later her brother was cleared by police but the car was completely destroyed in that accident. The crash actually involved a Nissan as well and its driver lost his life during the accident only. Case was fortunately settled in favor of James’s brother and he escaped the punishment of imprisonment.

Controversies

Her novels have been surrounded by controversies since their launch especially the first one “Fifty Shades of Grey”. This is the reason I guess that the amount of sex live projected in her subsequent novels of trilogy is low.

Fan Fiction Origin

Fifty Shades of Grey has been criticized due to its origin as a fan fiction based on the Twilight series of novels. And hence some readers were predicting copyright issues.

Depicting BDSM

Fifty Shades of Grey has been subject to criticism due to depiction of BDSM in it.

Censorship and removal of her books

Many public libraries refused to keep her books by claiming that they contained sexual content and is not fit for its readers. These cases were reported in Brazil, Argentina and United States. But due to the popularity and public demands they had to make these copies available to their patrons hence ending the controversy.

Quotes

“Once you’re in charge of your job, your house, your children, getting the food on the table, doing all of this, all of the time, it’d be nice for someone else to be in charge for a bit maybe.”

This plus mansion is his second asset and just few blocks away from his first home in Mulholland Estates. Charlie has nicknamed it sober Valley Ranch as he got sober after shifting into this mansion.

Not much of a car fan if we go into the list of cars he owns or owned. I guess he likes vintage cars more over the new fast and mean cars.

1966 NASCAR Ford Mustang (Auctioned Off)

Bad Boy Charlie Sheen got it modified in 2006 by getting a six speed transmission and a 650 Hp engine. This made Mustang a beast.

Net worth – $110 million

Football fans would definitely know who Lionel Messi is. But his popularity is such that even non followers of football would know his name if asked about football. It’s very common to expect a goal from this forward whenever he gets into that penalty box of opposition.  A winner of many individual awards as well as many trophies being a part of Barcelona. A winner of Ballon d Or (World Best player) a record four times was born on June 24 1987 in Argentina. Compared to the great Maradona since his very early days of career, but I feel he has just surpassed them all at the age of 26. Just one trophy eludes him and that is the glory of world cup.

Career

If he you go by roots he has Italian ancestors who moved to Argentina later on. A childhood prodigy Messi was a local powerhouse by the age of 11 and came to be known as “machine of 87”. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with a rare growth deficiency hormone and treatment cost was very high. Barcelona was made aware of a talent like Messi and his contract was signed on a piece of tissue paper. Since then he hasn’t seen back. Known for evading defenders with the blink of an eye, Messi’s style of play has been compared to Maradona many times and many consider him the greatest player in the history of game. Recently broke the record of Muller for most goals in a calendar year.

Earnings

His earnings surpass every top athlete. In the December of 2012 FC Barcelona announced that Messi agreed with them a new 5 year deal worth 21.2 million dollars making him the highest paid footballer. This is not it his earnings are through many endorsements and advertisement deals as well. Second most marketable athlete in the world currently, he appeared for numerous ads Wechat and a Japanese brand Scalp D. His current endorsement deals with the Turkish Airlines, D&G, Pepsi, Herbalife, EA Sports and Adidas help him in earning near about 20 million dollars annually.

Personal Life

With such popularity and fame you have to handle a lot of pairings and link ups. He is said to have been dating Macarena Lamos during the 2006 World Cup. He has also been linked to Argentine Glamour model Luciana Salazar. In 2009 he finally broke the silence by announcing that he has a girlfriend back in Argentina. It was later confirmed from twitter as well that his girlfriend is Antonella Rocuzzo. On November 12 2012 he became father to a baby boy whom he named Thiago.

Net Worth

His earnings as you read above are way too high. So with such amount of cash at your dispense one will buy some great houses and cars. So here is the list and a brief description about each of his mansions and cars.

Catalan City Mansion

A luxury mansion worth millions in Barcelona, so here the long list begins.Football keeps Messi in Spain most of the year and hence he needs a permanent home here. So recently he bought a big mansion in the heart of Barcelona, named the Catalan city mansion.

Rosario Mansion

Rosario is home region and feels great to hear that he hasn’t forgotten his roots yet. Situated about 200 miles away from the capital city of Buenos Aires. The home was in news during 2011 when reportedly it was hit by four bullets. This mansion has a special place in his heart and he considers it as priceless.

Ferrari F430 Spider

Valued at around $210,000, this car is a beast and I guess is the most expensive of all Messi cars. With a top speed of around 320 Kmph this machine surely matches Messi in terms of his pace and acceleration. Equipped with a 483 hp engine the car is surely as good as the football star who drives it.

Audi R8

It costs around $150,000. Audi is a dream car for most middle class people but Messi seems to be a big fan of sports cars and thrilled by speed I guess. In 2007 Messi and Ronaldinho did test drives for R8 at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. The idea was to do fast laps to show that the luxury car was sporty and safe. Messi must have fallen in love with this beauty and had it ordered.

Maserati

It would cost you around $130,000 if planning to buy.  Reports suggest that this luxury car is a Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S. So that means even Messi couldn’t stay away from the charm of this Italian car brand. Fitted with a 440 HP engine this adds another sports car in the garage of Lionel Messi.

Audi Q7

Value- $59,000. A SUV for a change. A car which demands second look and even more looks if someone like Messi is driving it. Seriously a different SUV in all and classy as well.

Dodge Charger SRT8

It is heard that the car is orange colored and hence brings a splash to his all black garage till now. Priced at around $45,000 Dodge features one of the most powerful engines in this price range and league of cars.

Lexus ES 350

As we all know Lexus is famous for making the most luxurious cars and surely ES 350 is one of them.

I can surely say that taste of Messi in buying and choosing cars is just awesome.
