In my mindset, the three most successful manga of all time would be Naruto,Dragon Ball, and One Piece (I'm talking about overall, including manga, show, movies, games, toys, popularity, and etc.) I imagine that Akira and Masashi make tons because of their manga, anime, movies, AND games, meanwhile Oda might have a lot of manga sales and good anime ratings , but I barely hear of the movies and games.

How much money do you think these three make?

EDIT: Let me know if Oda makes bread from games and movies though; I don't know much about One Piece yet.

Not enough considering how many don't buy his volumes.

They don't live the luxury life i know that much. They do it because they enjoy it, i read online that they don't make as much money as you'd expect them to.

They probably get a small share from the Games/Movies. Storm Series as an example: Shonen Jump gets a share, CC2 gets a share, the Store gets a share, PSN/Xbox/Steam get a share and Kishi gets a share.

16 million yen is only 152,373 USD, that doesn't seem like a lot...

I also understand that One Piece is the best selling manga of all time, second place being Dragon Ball and Naruto being like, 6-11 in all time. But Dragon Ball and Naruto are most popular by far in diverse field (movie, games, anime, popularity on the internet)

its like that in America but not everywhere else.. mangaka get paid by the panel the more panels in a chapter the more they make. not only that they get paid if its in jump magazines by the panel and for it being the the magazine period. they get paid from movies and games even if they don't make them because the people who make them need to pay for the rights to use the characters. they get paid if their manga gets an anime per episode per air time slot aswell. not to mention toys, gifts, items, etc.

1- Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball) : 1 483 000 000 Yens (11 251 069 €) – Its expected though and I already predicted it.. ahahah

2- Kazuki Takahashi (Yu-Gi-Oh!) : 510 000 000 Yens (3 869 351 €) – Can’t believe it, but the one thing that made me realize is that Yu-Gi-Oh is popular not only in the anime but also it’s toys!! Well Obviously that includes the CARDS games.

3- Fujiko Fujio (Doraemon) : 456 000 000 Yens (3 456 640 €) – Woah!! My favorite anime in my childhood days I didn’t expect it would be the 3rd Richest.. LOLZ

4- Hiroshi Arakawa (Full Metal Alchemist) : 450 000 000 Yens (3 411 158 €) – Nice!

5- Machiko Hasegawa (Saze-san) : 447 000 000 Yens (3 388 417 €) – What the hell is this manga? I don’t even recognize it but it placed 5th? LOLZ!

6- Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto) : 374 000 000 Yens (2 835 051 €) – WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! very disapointing.. I thought it would placed to 2nd or 3rd but its 6th.. ahahaha

7- Konomi Takeshi (Prince of Tennis) : 347 000 000 Yens (2 630 382 €) – Good…

8- Echiiro Oda (One Piece) : 333 000 000 Yens (2 524 257 €) – WHAAAAAAAt?? I thought that Oda would be the richest but he placed 8th?? DAMN!! ahahah

9- Takashi Yanase (Soreike! Anpanman) : 270 000 000 Yens (2 046 694 €) – Whatever!

10- Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk) : 200 700 000 Yens (1 521 376 €) – The best sports manga in JUMP!! It would be great if it placed 5-7th.. ehehe

Well that’s it……
HMMMM….That’s odd..
