| | |  J.K. Rowling Among Forbes Richest People
J.K. Rowling has made Forbes magazine's annual list of the world's richest people. Coming in at #746, with a net worth of about $1 billion, Forbes has this to say about Ms. Rowling: Quote: |
Author had a banner year last year. Last July, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth book in her widely successful Potter series, was a huge hit. Rowling sold 60 million books worldwide last year, bringing the tally to 310 million copies of Harry Potter books sold. In November, Warner Bros. released Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth Potter film and reversed a creeping Harry box-office slide. The movie pulled in $287 million in the U.S., the highest grossing film in the series after the debut film. A source in the Rowling camp says that last book in the series will be out in 2007.

| Ooo I thought 2007 always stuck out in my mind. It'll be very lovely to just leave that thought in the back of my head for now. Will help clear the post-novel let down I'm still feeling. I read Half Blood Prince and I was so excited and then the terrifying thought crossed my mind. I'll have to wait like another two years for the next one *Cries* | |

Maybe 7/7/07 for the last book? Would just be numerically cool. That is amazing what someone with a brilliant imagination can accomplish!! | |

I'm sceptical. Isn't Jo always wary of the figures being thrown about? They're only estimations really. But I think she has said before that some figures have been wrong. | |
