J.K. Rowling Tops Forbes Wealthiest Celebrity List
July 25, 2008
J.K. Rowling has topped
the list of the world's wealthiest celebrities. She made $300 million last year.
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but a magic wand is more powerful than either, or at least according to this year's Forbes' list of the world's richest celebrities. Harry Potter author JK Rowling earned more than any other celebrity, according to the annual Celebrity 100 list, taking home $300m (150 million pounds) last year. There were other strong British performances from Keira Knightley, announced as the world's second best paid female actor, Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe and David Beckham.
It's quite enjoyable that she made the list simply by writing what she loved.
