All I have to say is wow.
Oda's 2 Billion Yen Income
-
-
wow, I hope that's a false calculation. []
-
All I have to say is keep up the good work.
-
Shouldn't this go in the manga thread.
And yeah it's cool but I'm not surprised, then again I'm not too knowledgeable and how much manga artists can make in Japan.
-
Give that man more!
-
One Piece had better have made that man for LIFE.
-
Well this is well deserved, no?
If anyone deserves this money as much, it's Oda, what with his troubled past and all the barriers he's overcome to get where he is today. He can use the money to buy things which make him happy, but he can't make the scars go away, both physically and mentally …
Poor man.
-
But still he has no time to spend all that.
-
it's only about $24 million US according to the article, which seems about right.
one piece is a huge merchandising juggernaut. oda gets a chunk of every bit of the merch. there's no way he wasn't making at least a few million a year in addition to his jump paycheck. -
Our Oda is a good man.
One makes a living doing what he can do. The other is doing what he has to do. I am lucky unlike any other craftsman. I am paid for the craft that I truly, truly love.
I believe this quote fits Oda to the t. Even if it was said by a cruel, sadistic bounty hunter.
-
Oda got paid more than dwayne wade and lebron together this year.
-
I love how that crappy postage-stamp-sized photo is the entire internet's official Oda portrait.
-
Yeah is it even recent? Does anyone actually know what he looks like?
Does he not like publicity or something? Family reasons?
-
I'm sure he has played this at least once and I wouldn't blame him.

I guess I disrespected all the hip hop heads for putting up video about making money. Still that amount is just crazy but well deserved.

0_0 Damn that puts things in perspective….Oda is rolling in it!

Yeah, but no amount of money can replace the time lost working instead of watching his daughters grow up.
/baww -
For comparison, Kishimoto makes about $11.2M USD, and Rumiko Takahashi during IY's later run about $7M USD. So even among giants, Oda stands at the top.
-
Yeah, but no amount of money can replace the time lost working instead of watching his daughters grow up.
/bawwIt can if it's used to fund a time machine.
-
So much for the notion that manga authors don't make shit and live in near poverty.
-
I heard(hope it wasn't from this thread) that someone was sending death threats to Oda. I'm like wtf have you not read One Piece?
But srsly though it's messed up they identified her to the world as an unemployed woman like as to degrade her.
-
Why are folks surprised by this?
You make a book that sells more than Harry Potter 4 times a year, plus weekly paycheck and merchandising and movies, its uhm… not at all shocking.
Also, the yen ammount makes it sound more impressive.
-
So much for the notion that manga authors don't make shit and live in near poverty.
well, not all mangakas are making that kind of money. some not so popular ones are making next to nothing.
-

Yep. If only they could all break national sales records every year.
-
Oda: Screw my family. I'm RICH, BITCH!
-
@Ao:
it's only about $24 million US according to the article, which seems about right.
You say that like $24 million is a small amount of money
-
If he makes that much its cause he deserves it One Piece is one of the best things created in the history of the universe
-
Well he deserves it, though for all you Americans that's only 24 million or so. But still a whole lot of money in his pocket.
-
You say that like $24 million is a small amount of money
The Number in Yen makes it seem like a lot more than it would be to those of use who are used to Other forms of currency.
24 Mil is a REALLY small amount of money in comparison to 2 Bil.
Anyway, way to go Oda!
Keep entertaining the Hell out of me each week, and I'll keep buying as much One Piece swag as I can get my hands on to do my share of that 2 Bil.

This is true, but the money itself is not a small thing.

who ever believed that? anyone who owns a mega-hit franchise is going to be doing pretty well for themselves. japanese animators are the ones who don't make any money, sadly..
most comic creators don't make boatloads of money, but if you're the creator of the superman you're obviously going to be loaded.
-
Well deserved :)
Its inspiring how he keeps working, he truly loves making great manga. -
Shouldn't this go in the manga thread.
And yeah it's cool but I'm not surprised, then again I'm not too knowledgeable and how much manga artists can make in Japan.
Terribly sorry,I wasn't sure.
-
BTW I assume this make Oda the best paid manga/comic artist of EVER?
I mean probably Toriyama or Stan Lee could get close to it but.. I kida doubt it, that and Oda still has a long way to go so probably he will break some more records in the coming years.. -
Is this his salary based soley on copies sold, or does this include merchandise etc.?
-
All i have to say is, he jolly well deserve it =)
-
Now we speculate on what he spends it on.
Whores.
-
No hes spending his money on the japanese space program!. To go to the endless varse called ''THE MOON''.
In my eyes Oda deserves every penny he makes. This will be the most popular manga in history for a loooooooooooong time to come!
-
2 Billion?
Damn. Cheers, Oda!
-
Now we speculate on what he spends it on.
Whores.
Nah…
He definitely spends in on DragonBall Merchandise, kinda like how we spend our money on One Piece stuff.
He probbaly has a room full of Dragonball figures and WCFs. -
Now we speculate on what he spends it on.
Whores.
I just hope those aren't cheap whores….......
-
Great job Oda and keep up the great work. Well deserved money going to a well deserved man.
-
I was going to send him all my savings out of thanks, but after reading this I think a postcard will do.
I say well deserved, and I like how he keeps working hard to keep it good and original even though he can already like buy himself twice or something. Unlike others (The Simpsons cough cough).
