| | |  J.K. Rowling tops World's Best Paid Authors list
J.K. Rowling has topped Forbes list of the World's Best Paid Authors with the publication claiming that Jo earned $300 million in the last year alone. Quote: No. 1 J.K. Rowling
$300 million
It was wizardry that transformed J.K. Rowling from a destitute single mother on welfare into a bestselling billionaire. Her adventures of teenage magician Harry Potter and his classmates at Hogwarts became a children's literary sensation in 1998, when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone became a publishing hit. It and the six subsequent books have now sold upwards of 375 million copies worldwide. The final one, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has sold some 44 million since it came out last summer--including 15 million in the first 24 hours.
