From Abject Poverty To Billionaire Entrepreneurs

On October 08, in July 16th of last year, the long-awaited "Harry Porter 6" was released globally.

The single mother living on the dole, who earned $1 billion from 5 novels of Harry Porter, became the 552nd richest man in the world in 2004, and created from the poor writer to one billion riches.

Born in July 31, 1965, Jo Kay Rowling, an English woman writer, has written 5 "Harry Potter" series of adventure novels for children. These novels not only make Rowling famous, but also make her rich.

These novels have been plated into 60 languages, the whole world.

Rowling's father was an engineer. His mother had half French ancestry and half of Scotland blood. She grew up with her sister in England and Bristol, Welles.

When she was a child, she claimed to be a "nerd" wearing "national health" glasses, but she was chosen as the monitor by her classmates.

Rowling studied French, and he had done several jobs after graduation, including Amnesty International.

Although she started writing at the age of 6, it was in 1990 waiting for the train to miss the train that she triggered the idea of writing Harry Porter, when she was 24 years old.

It took her 5 years to complete the first episode of Harry Porter's "mysterious Sorcerer Stone". It took two years until 1997 when the mysterious magic stone came into the market, but the book was immediately sold out, and the "disappeared chamber" was released the following year. Rowling established her reputation in the literary world. "The escaped prisoner of Azkaban" became a literary legend after being released in 1999.

But before Harry Porter met with the readers for the first time in 1997, Rowling had already been afflicted with emotion.

Her mother died of multiple sclerosis at the age of 45.

After that, she moved to Portugal to marry a local reporter and gave birth to her daughter Jessica.

But the marriage soon broke down and she moved back to a small apartment in Edinburgh.

She used the baby carriage to drive Jessica along the street until Jessica fell asleep. She sat down in a nearby coffee shop and wrote wildly until Jessica woke up.

She recalled in a visit: "I have no intention of not always relying on relief Jin Weisheng, which is the most frustrating thing.

I don't want to paint, but some nights, Jessica ate, but I did not.

Rowling spent most of his time writing in the Nicho coffee shop, but the cafe had changed its owner two years ago and was redecorated as a Chinese restaurant.

Addie, manager of Chinese restaurant, said: "this place used to be owned by Rowling's brother-in-law.

She didn't have money at that time, so she came here to eat, drink coffee and write every day.

The manager pointed to a small table by the window. It was the place where Rowling wrote, the window facing a cobblestone street and a row of shops and houses that were not very noticeable.

Despite her hard life, Rowling knew that she was talented, and her efforts finally earned her fame and fortune.

Rowling is now a household name, but she cherishes her privacy. She hopes to fade away after the seven episode of Harry Porter's novel and return to a happy life.

Rowling remarried at the end of 2001. Her husband was a doctor and gave birth to her second child, David, in March 2003.

Harry Porter's sixth episode "Half Blood Prince" is on the market globally today, and is expected to start buying again.

In the past 3 years, Rowling has been ranked first in the British super rich list. Last year, her wealth was even more than eight times that of Queen Elizabeth II, and Rowling became the biggest woman earning money in Britain.

Rowling is currently ranked seventeenth in the list of British rich, most of whom are real estate developers or retailers.

According to Forbes magazine, because Rowling is still planning to write a series of Harry Porter novels, her final personal property may reach 10 billion dollars.

For Rowling, her success is just like a myth. 8 years ago, Rowling was just a divorced poor writer.

Rowling raised her daughter by herself and secretly worked for the sake of life and risked losing the benefits. Once she was free, she wrote and wrote in the cafe nearby, writing her magical world. She forced herself to write ceaselessly.

When she wrote the novel to the publisher, she met with repeated rejection. But she remained as persistent as ever, and the result was well known. She succeeded and became the richest woman in the world.

Rowling herself, from extreme poverty to great wealth, did not expect her to do so.

However, the image of "Harry Potter" conceived and created by the single mother in poverty and distress in Scotland has become the favorite fairy tale character of children and adult readers all over the world. She has changed not only her own poverty, but also its significance: in an increasingly globalized era, she deconstructed financial affairs in the form of fairy tales, giving us another interpretation of "financing" in the metropolis, struggling for their future and taking care of limited income.
