JK Rowling, $1 Billion
Welp, in case you didn’t know, long before JK Rowling melted and shattered our hearts all at once with the Harry Potter book series, she was actually living on state benefits. Hers is an impressive “rags to riches” tale, one that lead to her novels gaining worldwide attention, multiple award wins, and selling over 400 million copies. Not bad at all! Furthermore, a financial advisor would adore all her philanthropist gigs.
