Broomsticks and Fangs Make it Rich

“HARRY POTTER” KIDS AND ROBERT PATTINSON HIT “RICH LIST”


The Sunday Times has published its annual “Rich List” to great fanfare, and it turns out the keys to early wealth are broomsticks and fangs.

Among the biggest earners under 30 in the United Kingdom are Harry Potter megastarsDaniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, while Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson enjoyed a pretty good year, too.

Movies and investments paid Radcliffe a shade under $40 million last year (after the wizard conjured “just” $400,000 or so for the first Potterfilm), and the Times estimates his current net worth at roughly $65 million.

His co-stars Watson ($34 million) and Grint ($31 million) also have enough saved for a few rainy days.

Crashing the list is Pattinson, whose Twilight-supercharged 2009 pushed his worth to approximately $20 million.
