Li Hongzhi's wife, at the beginning of 1999. Although a spokesman
for Li Hongzhi has told the press that it was presented to him as a
gift by John Sun, one of his most faithful followers, and he has
paid John Sun for it. [b] Note the word "paid" ....now how many of
us can afford to PAY USD 580k for a place ?
I don't mind living humbly with a USD$580K house

Maybe I use Maths to better illustrate the picture. There is at
least 100mil Falungong member in China so say the communists. There
is actually more if you consider it internationally. By for
simplicity sake, let use communist figures.
(the following is not true but only a mathimatical
stimulation)
If Master Li makes $1 for every book, he has $100mil
If he make $0.10 for every book he will has $10mil
Fact one, royalty per book is always bigger than $0.10
Fact two, Master Li wrote more than one book.
With such readership, any profit motivated person becomes rich.
Falungong books are priced so cheaply that anti-Falungong
propaganda books are more expensive.
There is nothing wrong making money from a bestseller. people want
to pay for a best seller. If Jesus is alive he will be rich because
the bible is the number one best seller in the world. It would be
unfair to accuse jesus of money-grabbing. People read the bible
because they want to learn the good taught by him.
