Daniel Radcliffe

If someone asked you who was the highest paid actor of 2009, the names Brad and George would probably spring to mind, but it was none other than Harry Potter himself Daniel Radcliffe who topped the poll. 

Daniel was paid a staggering £25.6 million last year according to a list of the top 40 earners by Vanity Fair magazine, making him the most bankable actor in Hollywood…we wonder if this will change once the last Harry Potter film finishes?

While co-star Emma Watson also appeared on the list making an estimated £20 million, beating the likes of Cameron Diaz and Russell Crowe, not bad going for a 19-year-old.
