J.K. Rowling

Oh, man.  She fought her way back from deep depression to become the world’s only billionaire author.  And, she totally deserves it: Jo’s Harry Potter characters are absolutely alive, and her storytelling skills are beyond talent.  As a single mom, she inspired millions with her words while building a self-created empire.  We love how generous she is with her cash (like, really majorly generous), and we respect her for being honest about how having money affects her. She’s a freaking genius who wasn’t afraid to show it.  Such big props to J.K.  We are huge fans. Photo credit: smh.com.au
