She's blonde and beautiful, brilliant and talented, and she's richer than Hollywood hyped stars. Harry Potter author JK Rowling earns more than the highest paid Hollywood stars, according to America's Forbes magazine.
Nice to know some people are thinking out there, and not being duped by Hollywood hype factories. "With this important package, be sure to lift the lid; amidst the blinding glitter, ask! What the person did?" (excerpted FAME, by Vanna Bonta)
The publication calculated the British writer banks $140 every minute - equal to $200,000 every day - making her the ninth best-paid celebrity in the world.
Rowling is beaten on the Forbes list by Steven Spielberg, Howard Stern, Gerorge Lucas and Oprah Winfrey.
Yes! And she's a woman so my girlfriend would point that out on the list of attributes =)) I thought it was really cool how JK Rowling insisted on casting overseas instead of Hollywood. She used to be poor and write in a coffee shop. Now she supposedly still goes to write in a coffeeshop for quiet. I don't like all the series but at least she got people reading and her imagination is great. I also like that children really can awaken their own special magic. Too bad some Christians thought it was anti religion because that's silly. It's fiction! We love JK. And has anyone seen her husband? Anyone else think he looks sorta like Harry?? Go JK Rowling! But WHY is a GOLFER making more money? Goes to show the world is like that. And perfect quote when measuring value it's not about money. I like that. ASK what the person did.
