Dan Radcliffe's Pay as an Actor in HP Movies.

[krista7]

In re: Dan's nest egg. I recall reading--either on CNN.com or Reuters--
that Daniel Radcliffe was the second richest minor in the United Kingdom,
 with Prince William being the only one ahead of him. This was a while ago. 
Apparently, his parents, being casting agents, were quite smart when it 
came to his initial contract negotiations: In addition to his salary for each
 movie, DR receives royalties for everything that has his image on it (and 
HP marketing was huge and still rakes in the bucks). I *think* he gets a
 DVD cut, too. So DR is making big bucks over everything, in addition 
to his actual pay. (Which I believe is going up with every movie, too; 
when the producer made a public comment about the fact the three 
kids *are* Harry, Hermione, and Ron by now in the public's eyes, 
he all but admitted they can ask their price at this point.)
