Are you sure? Getting on a bestseller list a few times, even in the US, does not necessarily make you one of the 1 percent.
Also, a lot of books were created by a team of people, or even ghost-written. Even if you have some proof that the author of record is a multi-millionaire, the rest of the team is not.
Come to think of it, my pension is largely invested in the Standard & Poor 500, which I believe to include some of these big publishers. So a tiny amount of the money you owe is owed not to authors, but to me. And while I have the necessities of life, and even more, I am no millionaire.
