If you have read the Movies group lately then you know that Dan
Radcliffe is listed as number FIVE in the list of UK's richest teens.

Here is a copy of my post from the Movie Group-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

Some of you might not be aware that BBC Newsround posted a list of
Britian's richest teens. Dan Radcliffe came in at number 5 with £10
million, that's about US$18.6 million at current exchange rates.

(Prince Harry (Henry) Windsor came in at #3 with £28 million or US$52
million.)

(#15. Jamie Bell, 17, £1.5 million (actor) US$2.8mil.)

Unless Daniel Radcliffe has other sources of revenue, I think this
estimate of his wealth might be slightly exaggerated. Based on what
I've read, he got a couple hundred thousand for the first movie, and a
couple million for the second; not sure if that's dollars or Pounds.

It's possible that they are estimating his worth at the end of the HP
series, so they are including future revenue. Based on the movies, and
not knowing what he is getting for PoA and GoF, I'd say it's probably
closer to £6 million (US$11 million), and of course, that does include
revenue for movies he hasn't been paid for. (Note: £6 million includes
PoA and GoF.)

None the less, that's a lot of money for someone who is only 14.
Assuming his money isn't mismanaged, he is pretty much set for life.

No real point here, just passing this bit of trivia along.
