How did J.K Rowling become a billionaire author?

Does she own everything about the Harry Potter Franchise?

Yes. Book and movie sales, and she gets a big cut.
Now go read

Movies, books, amusement parks...merchandise. It's a lot more than just books. She owns one of the most successful IPs of all time.

People on this board shit on her but she wrote something fun, relatable, and creative that literally appeals to a significant chunk of humanity. She deserves to be a billionaire.

>people loved her work so much in america that rival film studios fought for the theme park rights
she doesn't need to own everything. She is what Disney projected himself to be, she created just a simple character and let its noble love spiral in to something Disney had to force up America's ass to achieve.

By totally lacking morals and being a horrible person

Did you just give her some money for saying Harry Potter? Wait, I just said Harry Potter. There I go again. J.K. Rowling has yet to come after me for any money.

Harry Potter is for underagers but at least it’s literature unlike a lot of threads on the board. The board died well before summer in early 2022

It died in 2016
