48 Different “First” Photos Throughout the History of Photography

John D. Rockefeller might hold the record for the world’s first billionaire, but J.K. Rowling holds another billionaire record. By 2004, the Harry Potter author had become the world’s first billionaire author. The wild thing is that she was only halfway through her celebrated fantasy series when she hit this milestone. 

Famous authors have been present throughout our world’s history, but none of them have ever achieved the billion-dollar mark. J.K. Rowling broke all of those boundaries and made history with her successful Harry Potter book series, movies, and other related products. Today, Rowling’s books have sold over 600 million copies and have been translated into over 80 languages.
