English actress and model, Emma Watson, has a net worth of  $60 million. Watson made her big-screen debut in 2001's box-office smash Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, bringing to life Hermione Granger, friend to the famous protagonist Harry Potter of J.K. Rowling's children's novel. Born in Paris, where she lived for the first five years of her life, Watson acted only in school plays before breaking into Hollywood with this film. Harry Potter has been an incredible money-spinner for Watson.

Watson hung up her broomstick after more than a decade playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. She was nine when first cast as the boy wizard’s brainy sidekick and filmed the series’s final instalment in 2011. Her earnings peak was in 2009 when she picked up £10m for the final two instalments of the Harry Potter film series. She was subsequently named Hollywood's highest paid actress for the year by Vanity Fair, toppling established actresses such as Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz. The magazine estimated her earnings for 2009 at $30m (£19m). Between shoots, she has also carved out a career for herself in fashion, modelling for Burberry, Chanel and Lancôme. Most of Watson’s income went into a trust that matured on her 21st birthday in April 2011. Allowing for her limited spending, the Sunday Times up her fortune by £2m from £22m in 2010.

She was born Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson on 15 April 1990 in Paris, France. In May 2014, she completed her degree in English literature from Brown University.
