| | |  J.K. Rowling makes Forbes’ Celebrity 100 List
Forbes magazine has published their take on the most powerful names in show business, based on salary and fame, for 2006. J.K. Rowling, who has been on the Celebrity 100 List previously, came in at No. 19 this time around. Quote: |
One of the few billionaires on our list, J.K. Rowling is preparing to close the book on her "Harry Potter" series. The next installment, the seventh in the series, is rumored to be her last, although she'll continue to write and will likely explore other parts of the Potter milieu. Worldwide sales of the Potter books have topped 300 million copies worldwide. "The Goblet of Fire" was last year's highest-grossing film, with a worldwide box office take of $892 million.
| The top 10 celebrities on the list are as follows:
1. Tom Cruise
2. Rolling Stones
3. Oprah Winfrey
4. U2
5. Tiger Woods
6. Steven Spielberg
7. Howard Stern
8. 50 Cent
9. Cast of The Sopranos
10. Dan Brown | |

Jo constantly denies the figures people come up with for her fortune but this "power" thing is a bit meh to me. Who cares, power can be used and abused and unfortunately most of the time it's the latter. There's too much power in the world in too few destructive hands.
