AceShowbiz - Before being named the world's first billionaire author by Forbes, J.K. Rowling lived a tumultuous life for years as an adult. Following her divorce from her first husband, the British author raised her daughter as a single mother and at one point had to rely on welfare to survive. In a 2013 interview with Daily Mail, she admitted that she was "as poor as it's possible to be."
Fortunately, one train ride inspired her to write the first novel of the wizard boy Harry Potter and its sequels, which have done magic to her after all seven books in the "Harry Potter" franchise became worldwide best-sellers. Remaining humble, she disputed Forbes' claim that she's a billionaire, although the magazine noted that it was only after she gave away much of her earnings to charity.
