Early Struggles. Joanne Rowling, best known as J.K. Rowling, was born on July 31, 1965, in Yate, England. She adopted her pen name, J.K., incorporating her grandmother's name, Kathleen, for the latter initial (Rowling does not have a middle name).
J.K. Rowling is the first female billionaire novelist in the world. The Harry Potter author is worth a reported $1bn, famously dropping off the Forbes rich list due the amount of tax she pays in the UK. Back in 2010 she said her reason for remaining a domiciled taxpayer was to help her children grow up with proper roots in British culture.
