J. K. Rowling Net Worth

JK Rowling net worth is
$1 Billion

Joanne Rowling was born on 31 July 1965, in Yate, England, and is undoubtedly best known world-wide as J. K. Rowling, the author of the popular series of “Harry Potter” fantasy books she has written that has reputedly become the best-selling book series in history. She has become a film producer too, associated with eight films of  the book series. She has also written successful adult books under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

So just how rich is J. K. Rowling? According to sources, J. K. Rowling’s net worth is estimated to be an impressive $1 billion, the vast majority of her net worth due to the success of the aforementioned series of children’s books. However, earnings of over $9 billion from her “Harry Potter” franchise alone since the last book was released in 2007, plus her part of revenues from the films, suggest that her real net worth may be considerably higher.

J. K. Rowling Net Worth $1 Billion

J.K. Rowling was educated at Wyedean School and College, and then graduated with a BA in French and classics from the University of Exeter in 1986. She then worked as a researcher and a secretary for Amnesty International before venturing into writing. J.K. wrote stories when young, and utilised many real-life characters from her formative years, plus experiences during a particularly difficult part of her life prior to her success, including divorce from her husband after which she suffered through relative poverty living on state benefits, as well as the death of her mother.

J.K. Rowling didn’t finish the first book of the soon-to-be-famous series,  “Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stone”, until 1995, however, it was rejected by twelve publishing houses before it was picked up by editor Barry Cunningham from Bloomsbury Publishing. In 1997, a thousand copies were published and several months later the book won its first award, the Nestle Smarties Book Prize; British Books Award and Children’s Book Award followed. Rowling continued to write the books in the series and several years later “The Chamber of Secrets” and “The Prisoner of Azkaban” were published to highly positive reviews. Rowling’s fourth book “The Goblet of Fire” broke all  sales record both in the United States and the United Kingdom with over 327,000 copies sold. Rowling has written a total of seven books in the “Harry Potter” series, which have become so popular that they have been translated worldwide into 65 languages. Over the years, “Harry Potter” turned out to be an extremely popular brand worth $15 billion in total as of early 2016, a large part of which constitutes J. K. Rowling’s net worth, and indicates a steadily high income for years to come.

The instant fame of the book series soon resulted in film adaptations. The first movie “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was released in 2001 with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Alan Rickman in leading roles. The movies proved to be yet another success, as “The Philosopher’s Stone” alone grossed $974 million worldwide, while the last film of the series “The Deathly Hallows Part 2” earned over $1 billion and became the highest grossing film of the “Harry Potter” series. Needless to say, J. K. Rowling added a substantial amount of money to her net worth from the release of the film adaptations.

Following the success of “Harry Potter”, J. K. Rowling has written several other books that have received positive critical appraisal. Her work “The Casual Vacancy” that deals with politics and social issues became the 15th best-selling book of 2012, and sold one million copies in English worldwide. Again, her net worth benefited appreciably, particularly so as the adaption of the book into a mini series, on which J.K. collaborated, aired on BBC TV in early 2015.

Rowling has also written several books under the alias of Robert Galbraith, including “The Cuckoo’s Calling” and “The Silkworm”, which have all added to J.K.’s net worth

In her personal life, J.K. Rowling married Jorge Arantes in 1992 in Portugal, but they separated in 1993 after the birth of their daughter, and divorced in 1994. The separation has not been amicable, with J.K. taking out a restraining order at one point. J.K. married Neil Murray in 2001; the couple have a son and daughter and currently reside in Edinburgh.

In 2000, Rowling established the Volant Charitable Trust, which uses its annual budget from income of over £5.1 million ($8 million) to combat poverty and social inequality. The fund also gives to organisations that aid children, one parent families, and multiple sclerosis research, from which disease her mother suffered. J.K. is also a generous philanthropist in other areas.

J.K. has a well-known aversity to unauthorised publicity, particularly of photographs by the tabloid press in the UK, which has resulted in several legal cases, all decided in her favour.

#Quote
1[C S Lewis] There comes a point where Susan, who was the older girl, is lost to Narnia because she becomes interested in lipstick. She's become irreligious basically because she found sex. I have a big problem with that.
2We don't need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already!
3Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its mark. To have been loved so deeply will give us some protection forever.
4Rock bottom became the solid foundation upon which I rebuilt my life.
5[on making a $1.68-million donation for the campaign against the Scottish Independence movement] The more I listen to the 'yes' campaign, the more I worry about its minimization and even denial of risks. This separation will not be quick and clean. It will take microsurgery to disentangle three centuries of close interdependence. I just hope with all my heart that we never have cause to look back and feel we made a historically bad mistake.
6[At the premiere at the last Harry Potter movie (2011)] Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.
7Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so Rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you've lived so cautiously, that you might as well not have lived at all.
8I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.
9[About being held up at an airport for refusing to be parted from the manuscript of her seventh "Harry Potter" book]: The heightened security restrictions on the airlines made the journey back from New York interesting, as I refused to be parted from the manuscript of book seven. A large part of it is handwritten and there was no copy of anything I had done while in the U.S. They let me take it on thankfully, bound up in elastic bands. I don't know what I would have done if they hadn't -- sailed home probably.
10[Family Circle, 4-1-06]: Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.
11People ask me if there are going to be stories of Harry Potter as an adult. Frankly, if I wanted to, I could keep writing stories until Harry is a senior citizen, but I don't know how many people would actually want to read about a 65 year old Harry still at Hogwarts playing bingo with Ron and Hermione.
12[When asked what the title would be for book six]: It will be called 'Harry Potter and...' something. Catchy, don't you think? And I think I'll follow the same model for seven.
13The spells are made up. I have met people who assure me, very seriously, that they are trying to do them, and I can assure them, just as seriously, that they don't work.
14I gave my hero a talent I'd love to have. Who wouldn't want to fly?
15I had an American journalist say to me, "Is it true you wrote the whole of the first novel on napkins?" I was tempted to say, "On teabags, I used to save them."
16Bigotry is probably the thing I detest most.
17[Discussing her daughter, Jessica]: Kids at her school will sidle up to me and say, "Does Jessica know what happens in book 4? Does Jessica know the title of book 4?" And I keep saying, "No! There is no point kidnapping her, taking her around back of the bike shed, and torturing her for information."
18[Asked by an interviewer about the next "Harry Potter" book]: Well, it will be a papery object with pages inside.
#Fact
1When Chris Columbus scripted Young Sherlock Holmes (1985), Watson believed Holmes obsessed over a case, even at Christmas because unlike other boys his age, he had no family to go home to, like Harry Potter and Kevin McCallister and Columbus has ties to the Harry Potter and Home Alone franchises.
2Her novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the US.
3Casting an actor to play Harry Potter was the biggest challenge; they saw 5000 auditions and none of them felt right. Director Chris Columbus saw Daniel Radcliffe in David Copperfield (1999) and showed it to the casting director and said Radcliffe was the one and that he was amazing. But she said they wouldn't get him because his parents want him to focus on his schoolwork and not acting, as well as all the attention he'd get. So they interviewed Harry Potter's of different nationalities all over the world and still hadn't found him. She got frustrated with Columbus because he had his heart set on Radcliffe. By sheer coincidence, the producer and screenwriter of Philisopher's Stone went the theatre and in the front row was Radcliffe with his father, so they talked and slowly persuaded him to cast Radcliffe.
4The film Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) has many similarities to Rowling's Harry Potter series; the teenage Watson resembles Harry Potter; school experiments; Holmes has a rivalry with another student, Dudley very much like Harry's with Draco Malfoy; Dudley and Malfoy both come from rich parents; cavernous libraries, sweets; train stations; Holmes's novelization uses the word potty/Potter; students being injured and needing to see the school nurse; teachers and students eating in the Great Hall; Holmes and Watson solving mysteries while at school and Harry, Ron and Hermione doing the same at Hogwarts; staircases; Harry/Holmes and Watson creeping through a school library at night; both Watson and Hagrid say "sorry about that"; the end of school term; the threat of expulsion; no family for Harry to return to, even at Christmas; Harry has a scar on his forehead while Holmes has one on his cheek; seemingly innocent teaching staff exposed as the opposite; head boys, etc.
5In 2005 Rowling co-founded LUMOS, the Children's High Level Group (CHLG) charity foundation with Baroness Emma Nicholson MEP.
6Based the character of Gilderoy Lockhart on someone she knew and admits that she actually had to tone down his personality to make it more believable.
7Was inspired to create the character of Hagrid after overhearing a muscular biker worry that the petunias he cared for weren't doing very well.
8Working on a new book aimed at younger readers. [December 2005]
9Her third child was born on January 23, 2005 in Edinburgh. [2005]
10Preparing for the release of her latest and last book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [May 2007]
11Announced that she is "considering" writing another Harry Potter book. [October 2010]
12Currently at work on the final installment of the "Harry Potter" series. It should be released sometime in 2007. [November 2005]
13Currently putting the finishing touches on "Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince", the sixth book in the series. It will get a worldwide release at midnight on July 16th, 2005. [July 2004]
14Announced she is expecting 3rd child next year. [July 2004]
15Wrote and released "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", the sixth installment of the Harry Potter series. [July 2005]
16Working on the last two books of her popular worldwide masterpiece, "Harry Potter". [2004]
17She secretly published a crime novel, "The Cuckoo's Calling", under the pseudonym of "first-time author" Robert Galbraith, so it would be given unbiased reviews that were independent of her reputation as author of the Harry Potter books and "The Casual Vacancy".
18Gave birth to her 3rd child at age 39, a daughter Mackenzie Jean Rowling-Murray on January 23, 2005. Child's father is her 2nd husband, Neil Murray.
19Gave birth to her 2nd child at age 37, a son David Gordon Rowling-Murray on March 24, 2003. Child's father is her 2nd husband, Neil Murray.
20Gave birth to her 1st child at age 27, a daughter Jessica Isabel Rowling-Arantes on July 27, 1993. Child's father is her 1st husband, Jorge Arantes.
21Severus Snape is believed to have been based on John Lawrence Nettleship, a Chemistry teacher at Wyedean School in Gloucestershire. Rowling and her mother were both students of his.
22Mother Anne died of multiple sclerosis before ever having had the opportunity to enjoy the monumental success of daughter Joanne's Harry Potter books and movies. In honor of her memory and the circumstances of her death, Joanne contributed £10m to the "Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic" at Edinburgh University, Scotland.
23With earnings of £560m, Rowling ranked #148 of the 1,000 richest people in the UK's The Sunday Times "Rich List" annual magazine supplement (2012).
24Director David Yates and writer Steve Kloves have both worked on adaptations of her Harry Potter books; working together on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011). Their collaboration has been so fruitful that their next project together is The Stand. This will be based on the novel by Stephen King, who is one of Rowling's biggest American fans.
25(November 11, 2010) During the course of a brief interview in London's West End just prior to the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), she revealed that, of all the film adaptations of her books, this was her all-time and personal favorite.
26Stephen King reviewed all of her books for the New York Times Review of Books.
27Her Harry Potter books have appealed to both children and adults. To help attract both audiences, her British hardcover publisher actually releases each of the books with two different dust jackets. One features a realistic picture or photograph of an element of the story, designed to appeal to adults. The other features a comic-book like illustration of a scene from the story, designed to appeal to children.
28The 2009 Sunday Times List estimated her net worth at $817 million.
29It should not be surprising that Stephen King is one of her biggest fans. Not only are they both best-selling authors of supernatural stories, they were also both schoolteachers before becoming successful writers.
30To date (Summer 2011), she is the best-selling author in the history of literature. She is the first author to become a billionaire from writing books.
31In the special double issue of Time magazine (Dec. 31, 2007), she was a runner-up at #3 as "Person of the Year" after political leaders Vladimir Putin #1 and Al Gore #2.
32Ranked #9 in the 2008 Forbes The Celebrity 100 list.
33Ranked #14 in the 2008 Telegraph's list "the 100 most powerful people in British culture".
34Her hero is Robert F. Kennedy.
35In 2007, Forbes Magazine estimated her earnings for the year to be $32 million.
36Was #2 on the 'Celebrity Forbes List: Who Made Bank?' of 2006, making her the second richest woman behind Oprah Winfrey.
37Is the first author billionaire, according to Forbes magazine, 2006.
38Based Hermione on herself.
39Like her hero, she now lives in a castle.
40Is an avid train buff.
41Finished writing the final book in the fantasy franchise three weeks ago - and marked the occasion by leaving graffiti in a Scottish hotel. Eagle-eyed guests at the five-star Balmoral Hotel spotted a line from the best-selling author scrawled in black pen on the back of a marble bust in a room Rowling occupied. She wrote, "J.K. Rowling finished writing Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows in this room (652) on Jan 11th 2007."
42December 21, 2006: Announced that the last "Harry Potter" book will be titled "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
43Was almost barred from boarding a plane from the U.S. to the U.K. when airport security personnel demanded that her manuscript for her final book be screened or placed in her checked luggage. Rowling refused to give up the manuscript, which was bound with rubber bands.
44Owns two properties in the Perthshire and Edinburgh areas of Scotland. In 2003, she hired a former SAS officer as her bodyguard to patrol her Perth home and protect her family.
45Claims her first audience for "Harry Potter" was her daughter, to whom she would read parts of the story that she wrote as a bedtime story.
46Although she incorporates characteristics of people she knows into "Harry Potter" characters, she says that the character "Gilderoy Lockhart" is the only character she purposely based on someone she knew. She would not say who she based the character on, only that it was not her ex-husband, and that whoever it was is probably so ignorant and so narcissistic, that he is probably claiming either to be the basis for "Albus Dumbledore", or the real author of the "Harry Potter" books.
47Originally wrote "Harry Potter" to pay off her gas bills while living in a tiny flat with her baby daughter.
48The day she signed her contract for the first "Harry Potter" novel, the publishing representative told her she would not make any money selling children's books.
49After spending six years writing the first installment of her "Harry Potter" novels, Rowling was rejected by 9 publishers before London's Bloomsbury Publishing signed her on.
50Whilst at University she had little money so, for friends' birthdays, she wrote them personal little stories.
51Character names in her books are often clues to their identities or secrets. For example, Professor Remus Lupin is a werewolf. According to myth, Romulus and Remus were the founders of Rome and were raised by wolves. His last name, Lupin, is derived from the Latin lupus, for wolf, and the English adjective lupine, meaning wolf-like. Lupin was converted into a werewolf by Fenrir Greyback, whose name is taken from Fenrir, the monstrous wolf son of Loki in Norse mythology. (His alias, Fenrisulfr, was the basis for Fenris Ulf, the American name for Maugrim in C.S. Lewis's "Chronciles of Narnia".) Sirius Black, who turns into a black dog, is named for the star Sirius, which can be found in the constellation Canis Major - the big dog.
52On July 7, 2004, she received an honorary degree from Edinburgh University, in recognition of the Potter books and her outstanding contribution to children's literature.
53One of her favorite movies is The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), which was written and directed by "Harry Potter" screenwriter Steve Kloves.
54Is a huge fan of "Monty Python" and claims to put some of their humor into her books. Two apparent references to the "Monty Python" sketch "Crunchy Frog" can be found in her "Harry Potter" books: two of the sweets are a chocolate frog, and a cockroach cluster. "Monty Python" member John Cleese appears in the films.
55She is a big fan of the rock band The Smiths and in 2003, she appeared on the Channel Four documentary The Importance of Being Morrissey (2002).
56In 2003 unauthorized Chinese-language "sequels" to the "Harry Potter" series appeared for sale in the People's Republic of China. These poorly-written books, by Chinese ghost writers, contain characters from the works of other authors, including Gandalf from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and the title character from L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz". Rowling's lawyers successfully took legal action against the publishers, who were forced to pay damages.
57The fifth book in the Harry Potter series, entitled "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", was published on June 21 2003. It was approximately 896 pages long, containing 38 chapters and over 255,000 words, making it her longest "Harry Potter" book yet. The first U.S. printing was 8.5 million copies, an American publishing record.
58On 3 April 2003, she and Time Warner successfully sued Dutch publishing company Byblos in the Amsterdam High Court. This prevented Byblos from publishing Russian author Dmitry Yemets' novel "The Magic Double Bass", which features girl wizard "Tanya Grotter". It was deemed to plagiarize Rowling's novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and to infringe upon her copyright.
59As of November 2002, the year and month of the second "Harry Potter" movie (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)) being released, her franchise of books have currently sold over 175,000,000 copies and printed in over 200 languages to become the biggest and fastest selling novels ever.
60Is one of only two contemporary authors to have a novel spend more than a year on both the New York Times hardcover and paperback best-seller lists, the other author being Nicholas Sparks.
61In 2002, she was sued for plagiarism in the District Court of the Southern District of New York by Pennsylvania-based author Nancy Stouffer, who claimed that J.K. Rowling had lifted ideas from her 1984 book "The Legend of Rah and Muggles", which includes a character called "Larry Potter". However, the case against J.K. Rowling was dismissed on 19 September 2002, when the judged ruled that Ms. Stouffer had lied to the court and doctored evidence to support her claims.
62She was awarded the O.B.E. (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2000 Queen Elizabeth II's Birthday Honors List for her services to literature and received it from one of her fans, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales.
63When the first "Harry Potter" novel was published, the publisher asked her to use initials rather than her first name, because boys would be biased against a book written by a woman. Since she only had one given name, they then asked her to make up another initial; she took "K." from her favorite grandmother, Kathleen.
64Her book, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", was the top-selling book of 2000, with 7 million hardcovers sold.
65She writes all of her books in longhand, rather than with a computer.
66Is a former English teacher.
67Graduated from Exeter University.

1 thought on “J. K. Rowling Net Worth”

  1. J.K. Rowling is a role model for young women and is very talented and deserves her incredible success. She also dedicates some of her fortune to her charity Lumos’, fighting to end the use of orphanages and institutions for vulnerable children around the world. Her goal is to do this by 2050 and there is no doubt she can do this. I admire her determination and it inspires me to help children in need.

    She is a trailblazer for other women who want to be authors and make a difference in peoples lives not just through her stories but through her charity work as well. The arts are important part of our lives and her success brought joy to so many people.
