JK Rowling, 52, wrote Harry Potter when she was a struggling single mother. But pretty much from the second The Philosopher’s Stone hit book shop shelves 20 years ago on 26th June 1997, the world fell in love with the Boy Who Lived.
The seven-book series has sold a whopping 450 million copies worldwide, and the film franchise has grossed over $7.5 billion.
Seeing as all these impressive numbers have come about because of the work of JK Rowling - - you may not be surprised to hear that her current net worth is A LOT: about $95 million according to .
That number would have been a lot higher had she not donated an estimated $149 million to charity over the years.
In 2017 alone she banked around $95 million thanks to Harry Potter And The Cursed Child theater production, plus the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them movie.
And seeing as she’s still releasing new works, and there are plans for more Fantastic Beasts films, we can’t even start to imagine how much JK Rowling will be worth in the coming years.
