| | |  J.K.Rowling on Forbes 2008 Billionaire list
J.K.Rowling has once again been featured on one of Forbes' billionaire lists, this time for the year 2008. Quote: J.K. Rowling
U.K.
Net worth: $1 billion
Once a single mother living on welfare in a coldwater flat in Edinburgh, Scotland, Rowling is now the only billionaire author on our list. The seventh and last installment of her wildly successful Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was released July 2007 to throngs of rabid fans who made it the fastest-selling book of all time. Over 11 million copies were sold in the first 24 hours. Feeding the Potter-mania: the film version of the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, came out the same month. The popularity of her boy wizard has put the author herself in the spotlight: a Rowling documentary aired last year. In November a New York judge ordered publisher RDR Books to halt publication of a Potter dictionary after Rowling brought a lawsuit against the firm.

Wonderful

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Couldn't have happened to someone who deserved it and could use it more.  She's definitely someone whose money and fame hasn't gone to her head .. and that makes it even nicer to see her on these lists!
