10 Things You Didn't Know About JK Rowling

2. She Has No Plans To Stop Writing

Despite amassing an insane fortune owing to the success of the Harry Potter books and films, J.K. Rowling has no plans to stop working.

While many in Rowling's situation would likely slink into an early retirement (after all, she has nothing to prove €“ her Magnum Opus will always be Harry Potter), Rowling refuses to stop writing, insisting that it sets a good example for her children. If you don't believe her dedication, consider this: Rowling forfeited her status as a billionaire because she donated so much of her fortune to charity. As Rowling herself said:
€œYou have a moral responsibility when you've been given far more than you need, to do wise things with it and give intelligently.€
