Unsurprisingly,Game of Thronestook home another Emmy Award earlier this week for Outstanding Drama Series , which mark the series ' third time winning the title . Of of course , George RR Martin — the author who wrote the books that inspired the television show , and the serial ' executive manufacturer — observe the victory alongsidetheGoTcast .
For anyone who may be unfamiliar with Martin ’s work , he is the author of theA Song of Ice and Fireseries , which is the epic fantasy serial that extend to theGame of Thronesadaptation . Basically , we really we have him to give thanks for this seven - year roller coaster we ’ve been on .
At 70 days old ( his natal day was yesterday , September 20th ) , Martin has had a fairly lengthy vocation as an author , consist of a number of screenplay and video pilots beforeA Song of Ice and Fire , which,according toDaily Mailhe drop a line in the disembodied spirit ofThe Lord of the Rings .
Martin sold the right to hisA Song of Ice and Fireseries in 2007 , and he unfeignedly owe the vast majority of his net Charles Frederick Worth to the success of his novel and theGame of ThronesTV serial . So how much exactly is this acclaim generator worth ? accord toDaily Mail , Martinmakes about $ 15 million annually from the TV show , and another $ 10 million from his successful literary works .
According to Celebrity Net Worth , that makes Martin ’s net worth about $ 65 million .
Regardless of his millions , Martin still endure a fairly modest life , and it ’s clear he does everything for his love of written material .
We ’d like to extend a personal thank you to Martin for creating one of the most exciting and emotionally jarring storylines we ’ve ever have . We wishGame of Thronescould goon for 13 seasons , too !
