Emma Watson Net Worth: How Much Is ‘Harry Potter’ Feminist Actress Making? [VIDEO]

Ever since she was first cast as super bright Muggleborn Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" series when she was just 10 years old, Emma Watson's net worth has been continuously on the rise, as she's picked out many projects since the films ended, successfully leaving her child actress image behind.

Last year, Emma Watson's net worth became the subject of news after the actress gave a speech in the United Nations headquarters in New York City, where she launched a new campaign entitled "He For She," in which she called out for women and mostly men around the world to fight for feminism, arguing that the creation of equal rights for women was an issue that both genders suffered from.

Her speech was widely regarded as a breakthrough for feminism, in a time where the very word has become the subject of controversy - and so Emma Watson's net worth became the subject of news once more, as she was seen as the face of a new brand of feminism that also included gender equality for men to be whoever they wanted to be, breaking through stereotypes of how males were supposed to behave.

According to Time Magazine, the latest from the "Perks of Being a Wild Flower" actress saw her going to the Davos World Economic Forum 2015 and giving another impassionate speech that kept the world's thoughts away from Emma Watson's net worth. In her new speech, as she sat next to UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, the actress went on to talk about the success of the "HeForShe" campaign, launching another stage of it: "IMPACT 10X10X10."

In the new "IMPACT 10X10X10" campaign, Watson asked people around the world to submit their experiences with "HeForShe," trying to expand it further.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Emma Watson's net worth currently stands at $60 million, as she was a major part of one of the biggest film franchises in history - with a lot more projects to come!
