Does only MONEY rules?
Why some Professor would be willing to be Editor of a book?
To many of the Editors it is a honorary work. You can request appropriate persons. Money is not likely to rule.
Dear Sarwar J. Minar , please follow the research articles publication of the researcher (related to your interest of BOOK) and you may propose him/her to be an Editor of a book.

Money is not necessarily a basis for scientific and even human treatment because it will lose its true value. Many researchers and professors are not as interested in the matter of money as they are about the moral and scientific aspect.
Professionalism comes from many rewarding endeavours devoid of monetary incentives. Book editing improves one's professional profile and broadens one's academic horizon.
First of all you ascertain who can be a potential good Editor of your work. Request if he/she can spare some his/her valuable time to edit the contents of your book. Do not forget to tell that the help would be gratefully acknowledged.
You cannot improve your MS just by paying money to any Editor!
Some institutions require some form of service for promotion or tenure. In some cases, being an editor would probably suffice depending upon institutional policy.
I hope the opinion of Ali Saeed Al-Chalbi to be realistic, apart of money, it is difficult to convince big names to be book editors.
Dear Yasser Jaamour, what makes you unconvinced? Why do you imagine that top scientists can be a commercial commodity for sale and with who pays more? What I have seen through my academic and research life with many of the top researchers in multiple countries is all of them asking for help, advice and support without charge and no one asked for a price for it. You may be right when you talk about "some Arab researchers or academics" I am with you and their preaching does not respond to you unless you pay him.
To become a good editor, you need first to be a professional in a certain field through publishing a good number of the original scientific articles in the high quality international journals. Then, according to your achievement, you may suggest a book proposal to any publisher or you may receive an invitation from a publisher depending on your activity in this field..
Best of luck
If the professor has supervised this book he has the right to be the author regardless money he has his right to be the author
In a serios and respectful World, Editor is a recognized, prestigious and famous scientist in the topic. Maybe an Emeritus Professor, with a perfect CV, with a lot of published papers and so on.
Yes old timers who have a vast expertise and experience must be approached to be editors You may or may not have to pay
I think being an editor is a matter of honour and person with good knowledge in the subject can only be an editor and generally a senior researcher or professor. No need to pay or I don't think that anyone pays to become editor.
