JK Rowling Makes More Than You

[bacon333]

According to Forbes magazine, Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling earns a reported $230 a minute. Rowling is the only non-American to hit the top ten list of highest-earning celebrities. Hannah Clark of Forbes says:

While celebrities grab headlines, it is rarely actors who make money. If you want to keep making money in the long term, you need a winning franchise and J.K. Rowling is proof of that.

She's already said she doesn't make that much. Although she did admit that she is enormously wealthy.

 

[Queasy]

this really shouldn't be surprising given the massive success of the Harry Potter books and films.

I still don't get the facination behind Harry Potter... The books are not that good.

Never read a single book or watched a single movie. Have zero interest to do so.

Wow, I'm glad you shared that.

I don't believe that she makes $230/min.

Let's say we take an avg. work day of 8 hours. That's over $110,000 in that day alone. In a 5 day work week, she makes just over $550,000. And as much as I know the whole harry potter is a huge franchise...I still can't see how they come up w/ $230/min.

I told you, she doesn't make that much. She said her accountant would laugh if he heard those figures.

And to think that she was a poor single mother when she started writing the book in a diner.

She certainly has inspired a lot of young writers. Sadly none of them are that good.
