I asked generally how much was his annual income was from his endeavours and he said around $150,000 a year
Even from this salary would make him nowhere near a millionaire
Deriving from this I would say the income from writing books themselves wouldn't make them millionaires
But many people on the street would think they would be in my opinion....
is he top 100 in the world or the UK?
In the world
To put this in perspective for people Simon is ranked 1385 in the world in Active players.....

Missed this offer, playing badly at Scarborough. Could have benefitted from at least 5 of them.

Perhaps because almost anyone with an interest in purchasing Chess books or dvd's are unlikely to think of the authors being rich?
I've certainly not seen anyone on forums or in real life use that as an excuse when looking for, or admitting they have obtained a copy without paying for it through the normal channels.
