| | |  J.K.Rowling: One of the 25 people we 'envy the most'
Fortune Magazine has listed 25 people we 'envy the most'. J.K.Rowling is ranked as 10th with one of the reasons being her phenomenal book sales. Quote:
As if that weren't enough: Amazon.com recently named Rowling its bestselling author of all time, beating out the Bard and Dr. Seuss.

I don't envy her so much as I admire her. Envy, to me has a conotation that you begrudge the person what she has and wants it for yourself. I think she deserves everything she's got for all her work. I would love to be like her.

Agreed. I don't envy her either - I'm glad she has everything she deserves.

I'm with everyone else. I don't really envy her (though who wouldn't want her millions?!) as much as I admire her. A single mother, with not a lot of money, strikes it rich... that's always something to be proud of.

I wouldn't mind being as wealthy and as well known as her, but hey. It HAS to be hard to be her. like walking along in the streets and having no privacy (or at least very little). So, as long as she likes what she's doing, I'm glad. keep up the great job. It's not a surprise she's on the list... Loads would love it.

I don't exactly envy her. I admire her. Though I think that we do have reasons to envy her...

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

JK really does deserve to be on that list. she is determined and lets not get started on her imagination. Wouldnt it be ironic if she dreamed only in black and white?? hmm....

Wow. I find it inspiring that she outsold Shakespeare. Take that high school english teachers. In all seriousness, I envy her creativity, and I love how far in depth she takes the books.
