JK Rowling is a British author and movie producer who has a net worth of $1 billion. JK Rowling is one of the wealthiest private citizens in the United Kingdom and the first author in the world to achieve a net worth of $1 billion.
It should be noted that J.K. is extremely private about her personal finances and has denied being a billionaire. That might be possible if she has secretly donated a large portion of her wealth to charity. For the record, it is known that she has donated at least $150 million to charity to date. As you probably know, she earned fame and fortune for writing the “Harry Potter” fantasy series which have sold 500 million copies since debuting in 1997. The books spawned a multi-billion dollar film, merchandise and theme park empire.
In a given year, J.K. earns an average of $50 – $100 million from her various endeavors. Between June 2018 and June 2019, she earned $90 million. She wrote the first book as an employed single mother living on welfare. However, books no longer account for most of her earnings: Rowling’s biggest cash cow is Universal Studios’ “Wizarding World” attractions. In late May 2020, she began publishing her new children’s book “The Ickabog” in serialized installments
