J.K. Rowling – 1B GBP
There is no way you do not know the person behind the Harry Potter series! Many of us grew up reading about the boy wizard and owe our childhood to J.K. Rowling. She started to write the first book in the series during a train ride in 1990. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone came out in 1997. The period between those years was difficult because she had to deal with the death of her mother, a divorce, and a life in poverty with her child. Luckily, the book took off and came with six installments. She has worked on adult novels as well. Did you know she became the first author to earn a billion pounds? Whoa.
