Reaching a circulation figure of 200,000,000 copies,
Oda Eiichiro’s “
ONE PIECE“ has a huge following not only in Japan, but amongst international
manga readers as well. So considering its fame, just how much does the “ONE PIECE” author make a year?
On the December 22nd issue of “
Shukan Bunshun“, it was reported that Oda Eiichiro annually makes over ¥2 billion (approximately $23,920,584)! According to the
magazine, the
mangaka earns about ¥1.3 billion from royalties, and ¥750 million from second-party usage fees for the characters.
It’s not easy being the mastermind behind the “
Straw Hats Pirates“, but someone’s got to do it! Kudos to Mr. Oda, it’s definitely well-deserved!
