Daniel Radcliffe is an English actor with a net worth of $80 million. Radcliffe rose to prominence as the title character in the globally-successful Harry Potter movies.
Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on July 23, 1989 in West London, England. He is the oldest son of Alan Radcliffe, a literary agent, and Marcia Gresham a casting agent who has been involved in several films for BBC. In 1999, Radcliffe made his acting debut at age 10 in BBC’s adaption of Charles Dickens’ novel David Copperfield. In 2000, Radcliffe auditioned for the feature role in the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.
Radcliffe has appeared in all six Harry Potter films. The movies have collectively grossed well-over $5 billion worldwide. Radcliffe’s career was launched by his role as Harry. There is a discrepancy as to how much Radcliffe has earned as Harry Potter. it was rumored that he earned 1 million pounds for the first film and around 15 million pounds for the sixth film (a rather modest sum considering the success of the franchise). In 2006, when Radcliffe was 17 he was listed on the Sunday Times’ Rich List, which estimated his wealth to be approximately 14 million pounds total. In March of 2009, Forbes ranked him number one on the “Most Valuable Young Stars” list with an estimated net worth of 30 million pounds. His wealth continued to skyrocket. In 2010, he was named the sixth highest paid Hollywood male star and appeared again on one of Forbes’ list. This time it was the list of “Highest Grossing Actors”, a list that he placed fifth on. Overall, he was declared the 12th richest young person in the United Kingdom. He was also declared the richest young person in England in 2009. In 2010, he was declared by Forbes as one of Holywood’s highest grossing actors.
chose to take his acting to the Broadway stage. His role in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying earned him critical acclaim. The production itself earned nine Tony Award nominations.
Radcliffe’s first non-Harry Potter film was the 2012 horror film The Woman In Black. He has followed that up with several other roles in minor films that did not receive much recognition from the public nor critics.
Radcliffe earned a significant sum of money from the Harry Potter films. He’s one of those actors that landed an annuity because of the success of the franchise. Radcliffe hasn’t picked up much in terms of film after Potter, which could be alarming. It’s going to be awfully difficult for him to shake the type-cast in his career. He’s a strong enough actor that he’ll always work, but he also appears to enjoy performing on stage as well. Radcliffe is going to have a long, successful career, but it’s going to be that of an alternative nature. When it comes to his net worth, the number figures to maintain around $80 million because of the Potter franchise, but doesn’t picture to grow much higher than where it is now. Radcliffe will most likely never shake the role of Potter, but who would complain about that – he’s earned $80 million from it.
