I doubt she's worried about being down to her last 640 million quid!
Agree. An all-round class act.
She's made no secret it's because of the welfare state she was able to start out writing because it supported her and her daughter. Now she's ensuring other people like her get to keep their heads above water via her tax.
A thoroughly decent woman.
A great role model.
Hear hear!

Many of the Slytherins come from wealthy families who judge others on wealth, family blood and status. The Dursley's are the same and raised Dudley to be greedy and entitled.
How do you know she doesn't?
Her fortune wouldn't have gotten smaller if she'd only touched the interest. Plus, it says in the article that her fortune's decreased because of her charitable giving.
I doubt you're au fait with her tax affairs so let's just say it doesn't really matter. I expect she can pay for the best financial advice money can buy, so she won't be being advised to do the worst thing with her cash.
And even Dudley began to change for the better by the end of it all
She's never really forgotten her humble upbringing, and that shows in this generosity.
