Child star turned pinup Radcliffe, 19, came joint top of the Tweens list of young mega-earners, proving that stripping naked and disfiguring horses in the London revival of Peter Shaffer's Equus can only boost your purchasing power.
Much love to The Guardian.
$300 million in one year, incredible. More than Oprah lol.

well its good stuff that she's earned that much, but i'm guessing most of it came from the sales of DH.
but what about next year? without a new book JKR could fall off the list completely, unless she's getting some royalties from the movies and the theme park (dear God please let her get something from the theme park)

Well you have to factor in merchandise, Equus, My Boy Jack and December Boys. Quote:

Next year (2008) will include the release of HBP. So she will fall but not vanish.
