JK last yrs second highest-earning author

Forbes has released a list of the top-earning authors of 2006, and JK Rowling came in second place. She trailed Dan Brown's $88 million earnings, pocketing $75 million from the Harry Potter books, movies, and merchandise. However, JKR can always rub in Brown's face that she's the world's first and only billionaire author. Congratulations, Jo!
