The super successful author whose Harry Potter franchise forms the core
of her fortune dropped off the money pile four years ago but recent
assessment of her earnings suggests she is a dollar billionaire once
more due to the unstoppable march of Harry Potter.
The new film inspired by the Potter world, entitled Fantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them; the author’s involvement with theme parks; and a
series of stage productions have all contributed to her resurgence, the
New York Times suggested. The newspaper said that while its calculations
are only smart guesswork, Rowling’s total earnings come in at $1.2
billion.
The paper said the core of Rowling’s wealth remains the seven Harry
Potter books, which have sold an estimated 450 million copies, with
estimated total revenue of £6.1 billion with her share amounting to £900
million at a standard 15 percent author’s royalty.
