J.K. Rowling, marking her 60th birthday, is revealed as a 'party enthusiast'... a $150 million yacht and ultra-luxurious year-end parties
The British author Joanne K. Rowling (60), who gained worldwide fame through the 'Harry Potter' series, is long known for her private life and 'lavish party life', which have garnered new attention on her birthday.
According to Forbes, Rowling, who possesses approximately $1.2 billion (about 1.6 trillion won) in assets, has been known to live quietly in a £2 million (about 3.4 billion won) mansion near Edinburgh, Scotland. However, it has been reported by the Daily Mail on the 1st (local time) that in reality, she enjoys luxurious travels to the Bahamas on a $150 million (about 195 billion won) yacht, a large New Year's party held in secret, and lunch meetings at a celebrity-only restaurant, showcasing her 'party enthusiast' side.
In June, Rowling was spotted enjoying champagne at the Royal Ascot horse racing event with her husband Neil Murray. She left a phrase on social media saying, 'Go big or go home,' reflecting her enduring sense of humor.
Reports suggest that some of the year-end parties she hosted are at the level of 'large festivals.' Celebrities such as U2, The Pretenders, and Daniel Craig from the 007 series were invited to the ultra-luxurious events, which included fireworks, live performances, carousels, and bumper cars.
Additionally, during her visits to London, she was seen having lunch with feminist activists at the River Café in Hammersmith, a favorite spot for celebrities, paired with wine.
Meanwhile, Rowling became a controversial figure after her comments regarding 'women' in 2020, declaring a separation from 'Harry Potter' lead actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. She continues to actively advocate for the protection of women-only spaces.
Turning 60, Rowling continues to lead a 'quiet yet glamorous' double life, alongside her active creative work with the Harry Potter HBO reboot and the success of Broadway and London stage spin-offs.
