Dan Brown is an American writer with an estimated net worth of $120 million. Dan is 5’8 and weighs 165 pounds. The son of a math teacher and church organist, Dan grew on the campus of an exclusive prep school where his dad instructed. The interaction between faith and science was a continuous topic in Dan’s life from early on and would continue to be the basis of much of his writing. Dan was the oldest of three kids as well as the home was filled with riddles, symbols as well as other codes. At Christmas the kids were regularly sent on treasure hunts to locate their presents.
After school, Dan tried a job as a musician and moved to Hollywood in 1991. Dan released two records, including one entitled Angels and Demons (the name of a future novel), while supporting himself by teaching in a prep school. Dan started instructing at his former school. While on holiday in Tahiti in 1993, Dan read Sydney Sheldon’s The Doomsday Conspiracy and was inspired to eventually become an author. Dan quit teaching and began work on his first novel, The Digital Fortress, that was released in 1998. Shortly later, Dan began composing his second and third novels, Angels & Demons and Deception Point, which were printed in 2000 and 2001.
The Da Vinci Code was printed in 2003 and visited the very best of The New York Times Best Seller List in its first week. In total it’s sold over 81 million copies and eventually improved sales of his other novels. The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons would continue to become successful movies starring Tom Hanks as the lead character Robert Langdon. There are over 200 million copies of his novels in print. In 2005, Forbes recorded Dan on its “Celebrity 100” list with the income of $76.5 million and the magazine named him as the present “King of Fiction.”

[on one his writing procedures] Hanging upside down can really make you think in different ways.

I'm now aware that when I write something, a lot of people talk about it. On some level I feel that if you've been given a podium of any sort, you should say something meaningful and powerful.

There is a statistic I heard a number of years ago: if you know somebody who is 85 years old, that person was born into a world that had a third as many people as the world has today. The population has tripled in the past 85 years. Futurists don't consider overpopulation one of the issues of the future. They consider it 'the' issue of the future.

I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work.

Two thousand years ago, we lived in a world of Gods & Goddesses. Today, we live in a world solely of gods. Women in most cultures have been stripped of their spiritual power.

That is the definition of faith - acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.

If I'm not at my desk by 4:00 a.m., I feel like I'm missing my most productive hours. In addition to starting early, I keep an antique hourglass on my desk and every hour break briefly to do push-ups, sit-ups, and some quick stretches. I find this helps keep the blood and ideas flowing.
