Rowling Joins Forbes Billionaires List
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040226/ap_on_bi_ge/forbes_billionaires_4


NEW YORK - "Harry Potter (news - web sites)" author J.K. Rowling (news - web sites) and the founders of the Google search engine have landed on Forbes magazine's annual list of billionaires after a year when rallying stocks and a strong euro swelled the list to the longest it's ever been.

Cool. I'm not a Potter fan, but at least she got a lot of kids to rediscover reading.

1. Remarkable about J.K. Rowling...
Considering that at one time, she was on welfare. A true rags to riches story.

3. That's great.
I'm sure she could always use a better broom stick!
