What coercive mechanism made people buy JK Rowlings books, and made her a billionaire?

Who did JK Rowling exploit to funnel so much of those book sales towards herself?

If someone buys a Harry Potter book, is she not entitled to a portion of the money?

In winner take all dynamics, like what books parents buy for their kids, a person can easily earn 1000 times more than the average person by doing a similar amount of work.
