              http://www.forbes.com/2007/01/17/ric...hisSpeed=15000

              J.K. Rowling
              Rank: 2
              Net Worth (in $ millions): 1,000
              Age: 40
              Marital Status: married
              Kids: 3
              Source: books

              The one-time single mom on welfare is the brains behind Harry Potter, one of the most successful book franchises in history. The sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was the fastest-selling book in history, according to Guiness World Records. The film series--from which Rowling enjoys a cut of royalties and merchandising--has also proven astoundingly successful, with the total gross for the four films already released topping $3.5 billion. Rowling is the only career author on Forbes' Billionaires list.

                      No shit! No player hating here. Good for her
                      Nobody has created that kind of quality Entertainment for kids in a long time.

                      Universal Studios is building a Theme park                      . I predict it will out gross Disney in the First Year.





                      And, If she's worth that kind of coin...I'd Hit it!

                          Good for her. A good portion of the 1st book was written on napkins (because she couldn't afford paper much less a pc to type on) from a restaurant where she would go drink a cup of coffee. She literally went from nothing at all to being one of the wealthiest women in the World.
