J.K. Rowling, the former welfare mom turned author, has been named the best paid author in the world by Forbes magazine.
According to the business pub, Rowling saw about 300 million hit the bank in the last year, or about 5 million a week.
(rather makes her lawsuit and comments over the planned Lexicon book…”“decimating” her livelihood seem less than true doesn’t it).
The Harry Potter franchise has generated about 4.5 billion at the box office and there are still three more in the world.
Rowlings earnings are more than three times the next best selling author, James Patterson. One can only feel it would take a very great deal more than a proposed 25 dollar book to “:decimate” her livelihood.
