J.K. Rowling Becomes a Billionaire post #1  quote:






Fri Feb 27, 8:52 AM ET

By MICHAEL P. REGAN, AP Business Writer

NEW YORK - Bill Gates is still the world's richest man, but his buddy Warren Buffett has come within a few billion dollars of knocking him off the top of the list, according to Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the world's billionaires.

Among the rookies were "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, whose wildly popular tales of a boy wizard were enough to amass her an estimated fortune of $1 billion.

Well, she is in her thirties, so I doubt she would want us as her kids, but oh how sweet it would be.

Okay... I can accept that. But, ONLY if she didn't want to take us on as her two most devoted fans. We would be good daughters, don't you think?

I wrote an idea for a Uni essay on a business card once.

I got a high distinction for it (not the card, the essay)

Yes but I sing and do windows. Heck for some good change I will bet Grant will do the windows as well. We could sing all types of Musicals and I could paint murals of Harry too.
