You spelled ‘profitable’ wrong.

But shes "married" to the self proclaimed richest man EVER to walk the face of the earth. (ps minor satire in my statement)

As long as there are cult members out there who still have change in their pockets, the Trump family’s work will never be done.

How many books has Michelle Obama written anyway?

[jon-nyc]

Actual books or $150 coffee table souvenirs?

[Tom-K]

I womder if they'll be any pictures of her in the book posing topless?

[jon-nyc]

My understanding is she defends here career in soft porn in the book. But my guess is she kept the best pictures out.

If by "actual books" you mean books authored by her rather than a ghost writer, obviously the answer is zero. So, no, I'm not talking about actual books. Souvenirs? Closer to the mark.

You might be in a cult if your copy of The Art of The Deal has pages that are stuck together

Because ghost writers are credited and made known. Because incidentally famous people with incidentally interesting stories to tell, actually do write their own books, in general.

[jon-nyc]

Generally yes they are.

And of course there is no bright line between ghost writer and "very involved editor", when it comes to untrained authors telling their stories that are only of public interest because of an incidental thing that got the "author" famous.

Review of "Melania" :

https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/10/08/melania-trump-memoir-review/

The dominant theme of “Melania” is one of graceful grievance.
...
“Melania” is a love story, actually. It’s about two famous vanity plates who truly are perfect for each other.
