Was Emma Watson Rich Before Harry Potter

Emma Watson was born Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson in Paris to British lawyers Chris Watson and Jaqueline Luesby. However, she did not stay in Paris long, moving to Oxfordshire at age 5 with her mother.

During Emma's childhood, she decided she wanted to be an actress and trained at the Oxford branch of the Stagecoach Theatre Arts. At the Stagecoach Theatre Arts, she studied dancing, singing, and acting before auditioning for the role of Hermione Granger in the movie based on the first novel of the Harry Potter series.

Although Emma had to take a break from education due to filming Harry Potter, it was still a passion she would commit herself to.

While working on a film set, she and her cast-mates were reportedly tutored for up to five hours a day. In June 2006, she took school examinations in ten subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades. In May 2007, she began her AS Levels and eventually obtained an A Grade in 3 A Level subjects.

On May 25, 2014, she graduated from Brown University with a B.A. degree in English literature. In this same year, she was appointed a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.

Watson has a younger brother named Alex, who was born 3 years after her, just 2 years before she moved back to England with their mother after divorcing her father. Alex is not interested in careers such as acting or modeling and does not consider himself a celebrity.

Emma also has three younger half-siblings: Toby, Lucy, and Nina Watson. All three of these siblings were born to Emma's father in his second marriage. Lucy and Nina are actually twins and were seen with Emma at a Harry Potter premiere in 2011!

She has had success in a string of films since then. In 2022, she featured in HBO Max's reunion project, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.

She is also a member of the board of directors of Kering, which runs fashion houses Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen. She is frequently seen modeling for fashion houses.

Watson's first purchases with her Harry Potter checks were modest: a laptop, a car — a Toyota Prius — and a holiday to Italy with her dad.

Since her Harry Potter days, she has expanded her car collection but avoided flashy sports cars. Her collection includes an armored Cadillac Escalade worth $95, 000 and an Audi S3 worth about $43, 000.

Since speaking out about sustainability, consumption, and the waste that the fashion industries produce, she has been seen supporting and only wearing organic, vintage, or mindfully made clothes and cruelty-free cosmetics.

Emma Watson's career as a Harry Potter actress gained her status as a millionaire at a young age making approximately $60 million from the movie franchise.
