J.K ROWLING – NETWORTH: £820 MILLION
J.k Rowling is famous for being the author of the renowned book Harry Potter. Still, not many people know of her inspirational story of rags to riches. Rowling was living a rather impoverished life when she wrote the first draft of the well-acclaimed series, eventually encountering difficulties while looking for publishers to publish the book.
As they say, the rest became history when the book went on to become the best-selling book series of all time, fetching a vast amount of wealth for the now well-known author. Rowling is estimated to be worth £820 Million, with her latest book slated to be published later in the year.
