JK Rowling: writing on napkins to billionaire in less than 10 years

by Kevin Dangoor

The headline talks about Google pair make billionaire row, referring to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, each estimated at $1 billion. I found it more interesting to see that JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has become a billionaire. That’s pretty dramatic for someone who writes books to have generated that kind of money in the 21st century.
