Mark Twian had just established a new publishing company and offered the ailing US Grant an excellent contract for his memoirs. Twelve months later Twain was able to present to Grant's wife a check for $200,000. At that time, it was the largest royalty check ever granted. Grant's memoirs was a two volume set and 300,000 copies were sold. This left Grant's family with an inheritance of $450,000.Taking into consideration of what a dollar was worth in that era, compared to now, the two amounts of money received was a fortune. It's a shame Grant died before his time at age 63.

What are royalty checks that Obama receives from his supporter?
I am not sure this question can be answered. Royalty checks are received from book publishers or from record companies. President Obama definitely has received royalties for the books he has written, and if he ever sang professionally, he might get royalties for the records he sold. But politicians generally do not get royalty checks from supporters. They do, however, receive donations, and both Mitt Romney and President Obama have wealthy supporters who have made financial gifts to their political campaigns.
