In a recent poll, people asked the question, “Who is more popular: JK Rowling, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Beyonce?” The answers varied from resoundingly positive to downright negative, with each of these personalities claiming to be more famous than the other. But how do we choose who’s more famous? After all, both are world-renowned and are equally successful, so the question remains, “Who is more famous: Beyonce, JK Rowling, or Cristian?”
Cristian
The bestselling author JK Rowling recently ranked third in Forbes’ annual list of the richest people in the world, beating out football legend Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese soccer star has been earning millions of dollars in recent years, and last year he topped the list again. However, Rowling was not the only famous person on the list – Coldplay ranked third in the list.
The most common comparison between JK Rowling and Cristiano Ronaldo is their respective experiences growing up. JK Rowling was born and raised in a low-income family, and experienced the death of his mother at an early age. Cristiano Ronaldo’s father died from alcoholism, and he grew up without much of a childhood. In a recent interview, a journalist questioned which sports star is more famous – and who is more famous?
For some reason, Rowling has surpassed Ronaldo as the richest person in Europe, according to Forbes’ most recent rich list. Her projected earnings this year were $95 million, which would put her in the top spot. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is the most famous footballer in the world, despite being a six-foot-one man with amazing leaping skills. But, there are many other reasons for this.
Ronaldo
According to Forbes, JK Rowling is the highest paid celebrity in Europe in 2017. She earned $95 million in the past year, putting her just behind soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. According to the same report, Rowling is the highest paid British author. She also earns more than half her money from children’s fiction series. According to Forbes, Rowling is the only female on the list. Only Adele and Penn & Teller were women on the list.
The question of whether Ronaldo is more famous than JK Rowler has drawn mixed reviews. Some say Ronaldo’s popularity comes from his life story, which was also a subject of much debate. In fact, a recent survey of British and Irish readers revealed that Ronaldo earned more than half as much as Rowling. This fact may surprise some people, but Ronaldo’s life story is no less inspiring.
JK Rowling
The list also includes the richest celebrity in Europe. According to Forbes, Cristiano Ronaldo earned $93 million last year, tying with Coldplay for second place. Moreover, Rowling is the only writer to make the list; the other two are musicians and athletes. However, Rowling has a strong point over Ronaldo. Despite the differences in their fame, both are equally successful.
The most famous author is JK Rowling, who is better known for her books than her football career? Both have been on the news, and the question is, “Which is more famous, JK Rowling or Cristiano Ronaldo?”
Beyonce
In Forbes’ annual ranking of the world’s highest-paid celebrities, Beyonce is more famous than Cristiano, JK Rowling, and Cristiano Ronaldo combined. The pop star made $130 million in the last year, more than the combined GDP of Belize, Liberia, and the Gambia. Beyonce, on the other hand, is currently taking a break from the public eye as she welcomes twins. But even her absence from the annual list doesn’t mean she’s not still making money.
In 2016, Beyonce became the highest-paid female musician. Her “Formation” tour grossed $250 million, and she owns a stake in the streaming service Tidal. She also made $200 million from the sale of a stake in her own streaming service, and Sprint invested $200 million in the company in early 2017. Her husband, rapper Sean Combs, earned more than $70 million last year from his clothing line. His earnings also grew, as he partnered with Apple and Sprite.
Forbes recently published a list of the top 100 highest-paid entertainers. In the list of the top sportspeople, Ronaldo earned over $93 million. His success was partly due to his recent US tour and his marketing deal with a vodka company. He also sold over a third of his clothing line. Beyonce, on the other hand, earned more than JK Rowling and Cristiano Ronaldo combined.
Drake
While it is true that Cristiano Ronaldo is the world’s most famous soccer player, Drake is a newcomer to the list. In late 2016, he signed a new contract with Real Madrid and is already one of the highest paid athletes in the world. Meanwhile, Rowling is back in the top 100 with the release of her latest book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, part of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Drake and The Weeknd have worked hard to make their names in the music industry. The Weeknd is also doing well. Recently, Forbes published a list of the highest paid celebrities in the world. Diddy leads the list with $130 million. The rapper’s record-breaking payday was earned through his partnership with Ciroq vodka and equity stake in his clothing line. JK Rowling, Beyonce and Drake are all on the list, too.
In Europe, Rowling and Ronaldo are the top earners. Rowling is the highest-paid author in the continent, and is expected to earn $95m this year. Ronaldo, however, is the highest-paid athlete in the world. He is the current holder of the Ballon d’Or and is the favorite to win it again this year. Meanwhile, Messi comes 14th on the list. Gareth Bale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic round out the top twenty with a combined net worth of $36 million.
Beyoncé
In a recent list compiled by Forbes, Beyoncé topped the list of most-paid celebrities, beating out a host of sports stars, musicians, and children’s book authors. Beyonce’s meteoric rise has been attributed to a combination of tour proceeds and sales of her debut album, Lemonade. Jay-Z, on the other hand, only made it to number 55. JK Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter, returned to the top 100 list, boosted by the recent success of her film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and a new play based on the famous series. Despite being on hiatus during the first half of 2017, her Formation world tour sold out all 49 dates in North America and Europe, earning her the third highest earnings of all time.
According to Forbes, Diddy, a hip hop artist, earned $130 million in the past year. The rapper is still only twenty-one spots higher than last year, but his meteoric rise has been credited to a string of lucrative business ventures, including a clothing line and a partnership with Ciroq vodka. Beyonce and JK Rowling both took the second and third spots, respectively.
