‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe is the richest actor under 30, reports CTV.

The actor, who recently finished filming his run of ‘Potter’ films, made £28.5 million ($45 million) in 2009-10, pushing his net worth to about £48 million ($75 million).

The 21-year-old is not the only ‘Harry Potter’ actor to appear in The Sunday Times Rich List of young people. Emma Watson comes in at 13 with earnings of £2 million, pushing her total up to £22 million, joint with Rupert Grint.

Radcliffe is now currently appearing in the Broadway musical ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.’

Other stars who made the list include ‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson, who came in at number nine worth a total of £32 million, narrowly beating Keira Knightley, whose net work is £30 million – putting her at number 10.

Princes William and Harry came in one place after Keira thanks to their inheritance from their late mother Diana and land owning. Wow, the thought of royalty being worth less than a vampire in a really bad movie frightens me.

Emma Watson must have learned a thing or two from the “Harry Potter” set, because she has certainly worked some magic on the head honchos of Chanel.

According to the British paper “The Mail”, the 18-year-old will be the new face of the brand, replacing Keira Knightley, with a $6 million pay check.

A source told the paper that Watson was carefully chosen. “Emma has been slowly integrated into the Chanel brand. They have been dressing her for film premieres and parties over recent months to see if she is the right fit.”

“Once it became clear she is growing into a beautiful young woman and wears the Chanel brand so elegantly, they had to sign her up.”

British actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY is taking legal action against a British newspaper, claiming an article it published suggests she has lied about having an eating disorder.

The Daily Mail included a photo of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN star on a beach, alongside comments describing her skinny physique, as part of an article about a girl who had died of anorexia.

In a statement from her lawyers, Knightley vows to challenge the alleged implication she’s in some way responsible for the girl’s tragic death and the alleged suggestion she’s lied about having an eating disorder.
