That's 3800 for the first 5 days from Amazon. Add in other stores (1,900) with the assumption that Amazon = 2/3 and other stores = 1/3.
5,700 in 5 days.
5,700 x $6.22 royalties = $35,454.

He's using an agent so the number should be a tad lower.
But your point stands; he looks to make a typical advance in a week or so.
And if the book stays in the top 500 for a couple of months he should be raking in a comfortable take. Of course, "comfortable" is relative. There's no telling what his expectations were like.
Still, it is an interesting experiment you've done, tracking the book's sales.
