Movie wizard Daniel Radcliffe has hit the jack-Potter – earning $26million in only a year. And the 18-year-old Harry Potter star has wisely invested millions from his film work in property and businesses.
The actor’s assets have risen by $6million since last year – not including the $16million he made from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Figures for his company Gilmore Jacobs show that in 12 months he put $8million in cash in the bank, had investments of $14million and was owed $4million in outstanding payments.
The figures have just been lodged at Companies House and cover the year to August 2007.
In December last year Daniel – whose total fortune is estimated at $50million – paid $2.5million for a pad in Manhattan that he plans to rent out at $20,000 a month. He also set up Almada Productions to develop scripts, and it made a $130,000 profit last year.
Daniel, who has portrayed the Quidditch-playing hero since 2001, took full control of his earnings when he turned 18 last July. Gilmore Jacobs is owned by his parents Alan and Marcia, but they have stipulated that all the riches belong to him.
