Forbes has published their annual list of the richest people in the
world, and they have ranked JK Rowling at #746 with an estimated net
worth of $1 billion!
Author had a banner year last year. Last July, Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince, the sixth book in her widely successful Potter
series, was a huge hit. Rowling sold 60 million books worldwide last
year, bringing the tally to 310 million copies of Harry Potter books
sold. In November, Warner Bros. released Harry Potter and the Goblet of
Fire, the fourth Potter film and reversed a creeping Harry box-office
slide. The movie pulled in $287 million in the U.S., the highest
grossing film in the series after the debut film. *A source in the
Rowling camp says that last book in the series will be out in 2007* *.

I wonder what her second-best bed is worth.
