(Newser) – Emma Watson made more money last year than any other actress in the world. The Harry Potter star banked over $30 million from acting and modeling jobs; she has worked on ad campaigns for Burberry and People Tree. Watson ranked 14th on Vanity Fair's list of Hollywood's top moneymakers, well below fellow Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who made $41 million last year. At No. 6, Radcliffe is the highest-ranked actor, below a who's who of superstar producers.

  2. Steven Spielberg, $85 million
  3. Roland Emmerich, $70 million
  4. James Cameron, $50 million

I disagree about her face. I think she's very cute. Her body is dandy, as well. I can't comment on her work, since I'm not familiar with it.

@ana "we'll compare who has the better acting chops.." why should we? It is ridiculous and childish to make such a comparison between me and her. I maintain that Watson is technically under par as an actress. She is also under par in the category of physical perfection. How can the world justify paying this girl so much money? It boggles the imagination.
