Controversy Equals Cash: JK Rowling Earns £18 Million Despite Backlash

A publishing company owned by JK Rowling made £18m last year

 In 2022, JK Rowling received £18 million from her publishing company.

 ‘Harry Potter’ creator 57-year-old J.K. Rowling received the windfall as a dividend on Pottermore shares.

 During the financial year ending March 2022, Pottermore, JK’s digital publishing firm, made a pre-tax profit of £5.7 million on a turnover of £37.8 million.

 According to JK, any attempts to “cancel” her over her views have led to an increase in her book sales.
