Early life
Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on 23 July 1989. His first screen credit came at the age of 10, in the BBC’s David Copperfield in 1999.
Career
Radcliffe played Harry Potter in all eight films, from 2001 to 2011. He was paid $1 million for the first film, rising to roughly $50 million combined for the last two.
Since Potter he has built a career across independent film and the stage. His notable post-Potter work includes Swiss Army Man, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Miracle Workers and the Now You See Me franchise, alongside an extensive Broadway and stage career. In 2024 he won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, for Merrily We Roll Along.
How he made his money
Radcliffe earned over $100 million from the Harry Potter franchise alone, according to Celebrity Net Worth and Fortune — franchise earnings are estimated at more than $95 million. On top of that come his stage and independent film salaries, and investments and property.
The scale of the fortune is backed by company filings: his family investment firm, Gilmore Jacobs Ltd, held over £96 million (approximately $120 million) in assets according to 2025/2026 filings. Radcliffe has said he has “hardly touched” his original Potter earnings, and is known for a low-expenditure lifestyle.
Net worth over the years
Radcliffe’s wealth was made young — the eight Potter films ran from 2001 to 2011 — and has been preserved rather than spent. Celebrity Net Worth puts it at $120 million (March 2026), Parade also at $120 million, and other estimates at $110 million. The figure is given in dollars; it is not converted to pounds in the headline.
Personal life
Radcliffe has been in a relationship with actress Erin Darke since 2012 — they met on the set of Kill Your Darlings. Their son was born in April 2023. He has homes in London (Fulham) and New York.
