    Ironically, she is a Publisher ... just does books instead of Adsense! ;-)

    Ebay makes £12 a second, I saw it on a program that investigated people getting ripped off / scammed.

    I'm reading the books now. Nothing deep, but they are a fun read. I don't know if I think she deserves that much money, but who am I to judge.

    In the future books will be free and adsense will somehow display ads on the pages of the book!

    The future I tell you!

    wow, imagine making that much money... "$300,000 a day" =O

    anyways, when I was about 12 or 13 I used to be interested in HP books, but now, I guess my sense of imagination is gone...

    Thats pretty insane. She must be one of the most successful authors of this era. The movies alone are leading to tons of book sales.

    I have never picked up a Rowling book. Can't stand the Fantasy genre and despise Harry Potter all the more.

    Her books are great. I've been seeing Harry Potter books in the bookstores for a long timein and steered clear, partly because of the silly cover pictures. However, eventually I tried one and couldn't put it down. Have read them all now am eager for more.

    Well, by that time she'll probably have enough money to drown (literally) all of her sorrows away.

    wow $13.8k an hour, and this is probably 24/7 as books sell globally
    So earnings are 331,200

    and then in one week its 2.3m
    so say in 1 year its about 119mil

    Is that all!!!! :)

    I can't but compare what she does to building made for adsense sites.
    She writes pointless fictions with hundreds and hundreds of pages just to get her desired revenue.
