Compared to what these people do to a children's book author, I would say she definitely has the better success story.

i guess it depends on how you look at it though
look at how fast she attained her wealth......based on what she did an her status before that.

maybe i am off

Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy to finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one area where I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter, and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. – J. K. Rowling, Harvard commencement address, 2008

I must say that you should probably do yourself a favor and read the books. The books are CRACK...really tough to put down once you start. The movies just don't do the books justice.

Has to be one of the best fictional series I've read and I've read quite a number of books in my day.

But you're relating success to money. Just because she became a billionaire off of books doesn't mean she is more successful than Obama that didn't come from much and ended up going to prestigious universities and becoming the first black president in the 235 years of America
