George Orwell was not born rich and lived a modest life for the most part. While his writing brought him some financial success, he did not amass a large fortune. He died with a moderate estate mainly derived from his literary works.

∙ 13y agoHe was very wealthy for most of his life. In his adult life, he was often within the upper 5%. He did spend about 15 years being pretty broke, but only because there were no non-profit or academic jobs available for him at during that period. (Marx never had a job outside of being an intellectual.) During that period he was supported financially by Engels, though Marx continued to receive large sums of money from Engels for the rest of his life.
