JK Rowling Tops Richest Author List Again After Nearly a Decade
Who says a delayed train is a bad thing? Back in 1990, a dull wait on the line from Manchester to London gave single-mother J. K. Rowling a chance to sit back, relax, and dream up a wizarding world that would ultimately become an international sensation. No stranger to poverty, by 2008 Rowling was literally the wealthiest author in the world. Incredibly, almost a decade later, she's back at the top once again!
