As the richest children’s author, Roald Dahl has an interesting story. When he was young, he was caught in the “Great Mouse Plot” and given a cane. He went to boarding school and became a pilot in 1939. He is 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 105 pounds. His height is not known, but his weight is approximately 130 pounds.
Despite this gruesome childhood, Dahl was able to turn his dreams into reality. In 1938, he graduated from Repton British boarding school in Washington, D.C., where he began his writing career. His first published short story, “Poison,” was published in the Saturday Evening Post for $1,000. He was a fighter pilot during World War II and received numerous criticisms for his sex-sex views.
He also married Patricia Neal, who was his best friend since childhood. In 1961, they were married and had five children. The couple separated in 1983. He was a successful writer, and the money from his books is a significant part of his fortune. His wife, Patricia, a former model, died at the age of 74 in a mysterious accident. In 1963, the two had a child together named Lucy, who died of measles.
After the war, Dahl joined the Royal Air Force. He was stationed in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, and Mombasa, Kenya. He then became an assistant air attache at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. in 1942. His military service forced him to leave the military and move to Dar-es-Salaam in Tanganyika, now Tanzania.
The writer had a long and distinguished career in the world of children’s literature. His books were translated into many languages and adapted into popular films. In 1990, he made about $17 million a year. In his lifetime, he sold 300 million books worldwide. In addition to his books, he also earned royalties and merchandise.

Later that year, he published The Minpins and Boy. In his later years, he wrote four collections of adult stories. In 1991, he published Tales of the Unexpected, a compilation of his 16 previously published short stories.
The writer’s success is not limited to his books. He has starred in many films, including The Witches, James and the Giant Peach, and the Twits, which have all been translated into Hollywood movies. However, his works are still popular among children and adults. The author’s salary depends on his work and whether he was paid in his chosen field.
