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. :-)

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.
