JKR 19th on Forbes top 100

Forbes magazine has published their annual top 100 list of the world's most powerful celebrities, and JK Rowling has come in at #19, three places ahead of last year's ranking.

One of the few billionaires on our list, J.K. Rowling is preparing to close the book on her "Harry Potter" series. The next installment, the seventh in the series, is rumored to be her last, although she'll continue to write and will likely explore other parts of the Potter milieu. Worldwide sales of the Potter books have topped 300 million copies worldwide. "The Goblet of Fire" was last year's highest-grossing film, with a worldwide box office take of $892 million.

Since last year, Jo has accumulated an estimated $75m. Forbes say celebrities must have a combination of earnings and sizzle to acquire a coveted place on the list.
