J.K. ROWLING – EST. $1 BILLION

The Harry Potter series remains one of the most successful series that has ever been on the shelves of bookstores worldwide. J.K. Rowling hit the jackpot with the book series which was later adapted into a hit movie series. Though her net worth puts her in billionaire status, J.K. is the only billionaire in history to lose the status due to her charitable donations and investments in worthy causes.

We’re sure that her financial advisors started worrying about the potential for her to go back to her humble beginnings and have the need for credit repair services. J.K. instead has made smart moves in investment planning, so she will continue to live comfortably and be able to give as her heart desires. Today, the successful writer has shown that you can pursue your calling and overcome hardships and depression if you believe you can. We hope she is not done creating such rich and exciting worlds that engage the imagination and offer escape if only for the few moments of reading her works.
