Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is the wealthiest UK entertainer under the age of 30, according to a recent rich list.
The 21-year-old and his Harry Potter co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint featured in the top four on the list, which was compiled by Heat magazine.
Radcliffe has amassed a reported £45.6 million, after receiving an estimated £25 million for the two Deathly Hallows films – the first of which has already broken UK box office records and the second of which will be released next year. The actor has also been starring in West End and Broadway plays.
His Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, is the youngest person on the list and is estimated to have earned over £20.6 million from the films as well as from her successful contract as spokesmodel for fashion brand Burberry – placing her in third place on the rich list.
Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the fantasy films, came in fourth place with £19 million.
Second place on the list went to 25-year-old Keira Knightley, who has amassed £30.1 million through her movie deals, including the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and through her contract as the face of the fragrance Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.
Other British celebrities featured in the top ten of the under-3o rich list included Twilight star Robert Pattinson, with £18.5 million in earnings, and Coleen Rooney, wife of Manchester United star Wayne Rooney, with just over £9 million in earnings.
