Emma Watson is a British actress and model who played ‘Hermione Granger,’ the sassy, cherubic sidekick in the Harry Potter film franchise. When she decided to read the Harry Potter series, she had no idea that her life would be irrevocably changed.

After a few takes and a few lines, her life changed dramatically, and she became one of the most well-known and bankable Hollywood actresses, with a net worth of over $10 million.
