The manuscript is said to have been rejected by three British publishers - Penguin, Transworld and HarperCollins. But Bloomsbury Children's Books did sign her up, reportedly paying £10,000 ($14,300) for the rights to Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone was published on June 30, 1997 and was an instant success.
The book was published under her initials because her publisher feared that boys would be less likely to read the book if they knew it was written by a woman. At a book fair in Italy later that year, Scholastic Books bought the American rights for $105,000, an unheard of figure for a children's writer with only one book to her name. It was published in the States in 1998 with the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Well probably if she sells 2 billion books which it was probably more than that, and she got 5 dollars a piece then she is really rich.

I heard she's richer than the Queen of England, but I don't know if that's true or not.
