Hi Friend,
Giving up coffee? Tough for some. Cancelling Netflix? Painful. But romance readers giving up their billionaire fix? Impossible.
It's been over 14 years since E. L. James' best-selling book and ten years since the popular movie adaptation. You might think readers would have grown weary of the trope by now. The opposite is true! Check this out:
FACT 1️⃣ In August 2025, global Google search interest in "billionaire romance" reached a new all-time high, surpassing the peak seen after the release of Fifty Shades of Grey in 2015.
FACT 2️⃣ Out of 111 romance bestseller lists on Kindle, Romance › Billionaire & Millionaires is effectively still the fourth-highest-selling one, only outsold by Romantasy/PNR and Romantic Comedy and the generic Contemporary Romance designations.
FACT 3️⃣ As of today, 13 of the Romance Top 100 bestsellers are billionaire Romances or Romcoms. And another 12 take a different positioning (e.g., mafia romance, dark romance, etc.) but feature a billionaire. That is a billionaire character market share of more than 20 percent.
What It Takes To Compete
For full disclosure, you have to weigh all factors. Total estimated USD royalties for the billionaire genre are slightly shy of last year's stellar value. And competition is fierce. But tell me, is there one commercial romance genre that is uncontested these days?
For established writers and emerging talents, the world of billionaire romance presents chances to engage with a dedicated readership. But you have to know the market! And that is where our market intel has you covered.
