She tops The Mail on Sunday's list of 100 highest-paid women in Britain having made £100m ($1,772,494) in 2003 due to her earnings from book sales, films and merchandise. Rowling has sold 250 million copies of her first five Potter books and takes a 5% share of the revenues from related products.
Next year she will receive another big payout with the release of the third Potter film - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban from which Rowling will receive a 1% cut of the box office revenues.
Earlier this year she was named the highest-paid author in history according to the The Sunday Times.

She's the most brilliant author in da world. She's beaten Enid Blyton and Imagine Madonna thinks she can beat Her!
She's richer than Queen Elizebeth (the 2nd)!
I've always hated Enid Blyton. Found her books a bit 2oo Kiddish. But J.K.R. has everything in her books Comedy, action, romance, Everything. She's gr8. My gr8est dream is 2 B like her. Not only kids but even adults think she's an excellent author. My mum thinks she's gr8. She's got a gr8 imagination. Simply the Best.
I love her books.

She must get lots of begging letters though, that would annoy the hell out of me, but she does plenty for charity and even though 100 million is alot of dosh, shes earnt it and its very well deserved! Well done Jo :flowersmile:
