Not only have books been around for decades, but the likes of Robert Jain can tell you that they've made considerable money as well. This allowed the authors associated with them to become immensely successful, even legendary in certain cases. Some literary works have prospered more from a financial standpoint than others, though. As a matter of fact, here are a few of the most financially successful individual books of all time.

The Little Prince - While this may be the lesser known book on this list, The Little Prince is nothing short of legendary in its own right. For those that don't know, this French novel details the adventures of a stranded pilot and a "little prince" that he befriends. It's not like this work was only popular in France, as it has seen numerous translations throughout the world. The Little Prince moved approximately 140 million copies, too, which makes it a financial success in the eyes of names like Bob Jain.

The Lord of the Rings - While most people know of this name because of the Peter Jackson movies in the early 2000s, it started as a legendary book in the mid-1950s. The Lord of the Rings is known for its cast of characters, rich world, and ability to consistently build upon an established universe. It hasn't been a slouch in the sales department, either, having sold about 150 million copies. From books to film to video games, this is the name that most people would be familiar with on this list.

A Tale of Two Cities - Published by Charles Dickens in 1859, A Tale of Two Cities stands as a landmark in historical fiction. If you've ever read or heard the line, "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times," know that it came from this book. Furthermore, this book served as a window into Europe during the French Revolution. As far as sales are concerned, it sold about 200 million copies, which is an impressive statistic to say the least.

Don Quixote - As far as best-selling individual works are concerned, Don Quixote is the name to be aware of. This Spanish novel, which incorporated elements like adventure and humor, has become one of the most legendary works in history. It is still being read in schools and universities. Furthermore, it has moved approximately 500 million units, which means that it more than earns its place in literary history.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
