Amy Schumer becomes the third highest paid author in history
Quote:
comedian Amy Schumer is now one of the highest paid authors in history thanks to the advance she just received from Simon & Schuster's imprint Gallery Books. Amazingly, the current working title of the book is The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo.
Turns out, Amy is a hotter commodity than Silverman and Dunham – combined! Bidding quickly shot to $4 million, then $5 million, then $6 million… When all was said and done, Gallery Books won the war with an offer that has Amy laughing all the way to the bank.
Their winning bid? $9 million.
#5: Alan Greenspan: The Age of Turbulence – $8.5 million
#4: Pope John Paul II: In My Own Words – $8.75 million
#3: Amy Schumer: The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo – $9 million
#2: Hillary Clinton: (yet-to-be-titled future book) – $14 million
