There aren't a whole lot of authors who've made a fortune writing and publishing on paper. For every Dan Brown or Tom Clancy, there are thousands who will never leave the midlist.

Given the limited number of authors of professional quality self-publishing ebooks (Sturgeon's Law is not only fully in effect, it may be squared) and the size of the ebook market, it'll probably be a while before we get any self-published millionaires.
