JK Rowling is 41 years old and worth $1 billion.
She’s the only woman and author on Forbes ‘U.K.’s Billionaires’ list.
This seems like an extraordinary amount of money.
On the one hand it’s fantastic that a book author has such fame. It’s sad that she’s the only woman. What’s with all the rich dudes?
On the other hand there appears to be weird human nature that takes over when someone gets that rich.
I wonder if Malcolm Gladwell has written about the tipping point for wealth and fandom support? Is there a point where fans start to negatively react to the wealth they’ve amassed for someone else? Is this what happened to Microsoft?
