J.K. Rowling, Author of Harry Potter

J.K. Rowling is no longer a billionaire. . . The billionaires club has hit J.K. Rowling with a banishing spell. According to the newly updated Forbes Rich List, the Harry Potter author has gone from billionaire to millionaire (several hundred times over, of course). She apparently broke a few rules of how to stay rich by giving away a lot of her fortune — reportedly $160 million of it — to charity and by paying her top-rung British taxes. There’s no way that the socially minded Rowling, who once lived on welfare, gives two Quaffles about her standing on the list, and no one should shed a tear over a stratospherically rich woman becoming slightly less so. But I always liked knowing that an author of imaginative, timeless, honest-to-goodness books became a billionaire. On the contrary, J.K. rowling is far far richer than ever. After all, the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart... while the greatest of wealth is the health of the mind and heart. Poch Suzara
