J.K. Rowling has topped Forbes rich list of the highest earning celebrities, with an estimated $300 million profit last year alone.
Dan Radcliffe also featured on the list, and came out on top in terms of young earners. He shared the top spot with Hannah Montana actress Miley Cyrus. Each earned an estimated $25 million in 2007. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint also featured in the top 10 of young people, earning an estimated $5.5 million and $5 million, respectively. | |

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.
