Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling Is One Of The First To Fall Off Of Forbes Billionaire List Because Of Charitable Giving
The only thing bigger than the success of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, is the size of her compassionate heart.
J.K. Rowling is one of the first billionaires to fall off of the Forbes billionaire list due to her large amounts of charitable giving.
“You have a moral responsibility when you’ve been given far more than you need, to do wise things with it and give intelligently,” Rowling said.

J.K. Rowling is the world’s first billionaire author, with her Harry Potter books selling more than 500 million copies, but she also knows what it’s like to have nothing and to struggle to survive. For seven years, prior to her success with the first Harry Potter novel, she and her children were living in poverty. J.K. Rowling and her family survived those difficult days because she was able to receive welfare from the government for nearly a decade.
See her story below:
A few million dollars is enough to provide a very rich life for an entire family, so when someone has a billion or more dollars, and is content with sitting on their wealth and watching, rather than helping, the starvation, homelessness, and suffering of tens of millions of people around the world living in poverty, it causes society a lot of pain. There is a finite amount of global money, and when it is concentrated in the hands of just a few, the rest have to go without.
J.K. Rowling shows the world what a billionaire with a compassionate heart is capable of: an incredible amount of helping her fellow neighbors; making sure tens of thousands of children are raised with love, and helping those who are facing numerous health conditions. We thank J.K. Rowling for all that she does, look forward to seeing all that she plans to do, and are deeply grateful for the compassion she is inspiring in others.
You are Loved.
