4. She’s Made a LOT of Money
You might have guessed this one, but the Guinness Book of World Records declares her the Highest Grossing Actress of the decade. Very few people know that she earns more than Daniel Radclife, who plays Harry Potter himself.
It all started ten years ago, when in 2004, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban came out. Watson was given the role of Hermione. When the fifth film of the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, came out in 2007, it was a massive financial hit, and it set a record across the world with the opening-weekend gross of $332.7 million.
By July 2007, Watson’s role in the Harry Potter franchise was said to have accumulated her more than £10 million, and she realized she would never have to work again. March 2009 brought her the 6th place on the Forbes list of Most Valuable Young Stars. In February 2010, she was officially proclaimed Hollywood’s highest paid female star. Her earnings in 2009 alone were £ 19 million.
Basically, for every Harry Potter movie Emma Watson filmed, she scored $15 million. Not bad, not bad at all. According to the Sunday Times UK Rich List, the net worth of this English actress and model was $40 million in April 2012.
Before hitting the big screen, Watson acted only in school plays before she made a breakthrough into Hollywood with Harry Potter. The movie brought a ridiculous amount of money for Watson, since it earned almost $ 5.5 billion in total.
And with all that money, Emma Watson has bought a $15.5 million, 3.600 square foot penthouse. The house has 4 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, located in New York City. That how much she earned in her last Harry Potter movie alone. Emma Watson’s profits are accumulated through her movies and through her modeling.
