Harry Potter explained genetically

Mildly interesting. I had heard that Potter had made Rowling richer than the Queen of England, but I was always a little dubious of that claim. This article states that she's the first writer billionaire, still, I'd think the Queen had more property than that. Then again, I don't know if the Queen gets residuals. :-)

But would that be before or after taxes?

I believe the Royals do pay taxes, there's no way Rowling would get out of it.

I don't know if the Royal Family pays taxes, but if they do, I'd be awfully surprised if they were paying the same percentage as everyone else.

Hope all turns well for you and yours, Wayne
