The more she spends, the more wealth gets spread around. She creates demand, jobs, and the other benefits of consumption. More power to her, and all the other rich folks out there.

She banks it away at Gringott's, of course.

Who cares? My understanding is that she has paid more in taxes than she has earned in income.

Considering that her books are what got my younger two to enjoy reading, I think she deserves every penny

Sorry, but I couldn't possibly care less. When did this woman ever publicly care what you did with your money?
I personally have never understood the pre-occupation with how people in the public eye spend their money.

She earns her pounds more than can be said by some members of the Royal Family.

Hopefully she would pay the government back the money that she took when she was on welfare.

Hey, she made the dough and entertained millions of people in the bargain. Who cares how she spends the money? That's her business, isn't it?
Ms. Rowling also has a nice figure of another sort. :)

What does JK Rowling do with her money?CONSERVATIVE: That's none of my business.
LIBERAL: She earns $100M a year? She must be one of those evil rich people that don't pay enough in taxes. How dare she vacation at the beach when millions of children are starving in inner cities. And it will serve her right, too, when global warming causes ocean levels to rise and wash away her beach home. Oh, and she didn't have a pink ribbon on her swimsuit! She must be some homophobic fascist that wants the billion gay people on this planet to die! I bet she clubs baby seals and spotted owls, too....

I think I would act the same way myself if I came into that kind of money. I'd stay down to earth and keep things low-key. Of course, I'd take the occasional fling when taking vacation. About the only thing extravagant I might buy would be a plane. Always wanted to fly and own my own plane.
I think when people come into wealth too early, it skews their values. People who achieve wealth in middle-age after knowing what it is like to struggle, tend to handle money much better.

Stephen King makes $40M a year just on royalties, making him worth close to $1 billion. He lives modestly, plays home team baseball, and gives to many charities. He's a good role model.
