Here's how Adam Carlson reports it in People Magazine:
Michelle Obama‘s Becoming has been selling astonishingly well since its November release and, reportedly with nearly 10 million copies now sold, appears to be one of the most popular memoirs in history — if not the most popular, period.
“We believe this could be the most successful memoir in history,” Thomas Rabe, head of one of Penguin Random House’s parent companies, said Tuesday according to the Wall Street Journal.
Penguin’s chief executive, Markus Dohle, echoed that, the Journal reports. “I’m not aware, in my personal experience with Penguin Random House, that we ever sold 10 million units of a memoir,” Dohle said.
NOTE -- Here's an interesting comparison. Donald Trump's book (The Art of the Deal), which he loves to brag about (even though it was actually written by Tony Schwartz), has in the most generous estimate sold only about 1 million copies.
