It was also reported that Malala who became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize Winner in 2014 will pay pounds 200,000 in UK on her earning last year. Her book " I Am Malala" published in Britain in 2013, in a deal estimated at two million pounds has since sold at least 1.8 million copies worldwide, tells the story of her growing up in Pakistan. Malala has become a sought- after speaker since her ordeal, and a report by the Institute of Policy Studies in Washington DC, claims she is paid a whooping amount of pounds 114, 000 per speech.
