I read somewhere that J.K. Rowling earns $1.6-million dollars every three days from the Harry Potter series. Every three days! Wow.
I think it would take most of us a lifetime to earn that much.
I wish I could begrudge her the money but I really can't. First, because I think she worked hard to earn it. Second, because she's continued to be such a lovely person even despite it. And, perhaps most of all, because she's brought so much happiness to me and so many other people around the world.
If you divide how much she's earned by how much joy she's created, you'll probably find she's underpaid.
