Emma Watson

Emma Watson first realized she wanted to pursue acting when she was only six years old. Her parents enrolled her at the Stagecoach Theater Arts in Oxford, where she received education in the fine art of acting. She was only nine when she bagged her first major acting assignment, playing Hermione Granger in the acclaimed Harry Potter movies. Prior to being cast in Harry Potter, she had never set foot on a movie set and had only appeared in a few stage pieces.

Now, the British star has a net worth of $85 million. At the peak of her Harry Potter work, she earned $15 to $20 million every year in acting salary alone. Her performances in the movies earned her plenty of awards. Outside of acting salaries and investments, Watson has made millions of dollars from endorsements with big companies like Lancôme, Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, and Burberry.
