The latest account published by Daniel Radcliffe’s company reveals that the actor’s amassed earnings are now at £63.9 million (around $79 million), making him one of Britain’s highest-earning actors. The latest figure is considerably bigger than last year’s earnings.

It is believed that the 27-year-old actor has allotted a big portion of his earnings in property, stocks, and shares. The report adds that Daniel is also owed £10.2 million (around $12.5 million).

Last year, Daniel revealed that he hasn’t really touched his earnings from his Harry Potter films. He told the Telegraph that despite lacking the eagerness to spend on many things, he is thankful that his financial state allows him to pursue his creative yearnings.

“I don’t really do anything with my money. I’m very grateful for it, because having money means you don’t have to worry about it, which is a very lovely freedom to have. It also gives me immense freedom career-wise.”

Since he does not need to worry about earning to make ends meet, he is able to star in low-budget independent films that Daniel feels are meaningful.

“For all the people who’ve followed my career, I want to give them something to be interested in, rather than just make loads of money on c**p films for the rest of my life,” he explained.

In 2007, it was reported that Daniel received $50 million for the remaining two films in the Harry Potter franchise. Daniel opted to remain hush about the amount. He said that while the money is “absolutely fantastic” and that being on certain lists “is all very nice,” his main motivation is not to be wealthy.

When he accepted the role of the Boy Who Lived, Daniel had no idea how big it was. He told Digital Spy that he only made sense of what was happening when someone in the street recognized who he was and “went crazy.”

Spending his childhood years under the spotlight was tough. It isn’t rare to hear stories of celebrities his age who have gone astray because of the inevitable temptations in the industry. Daniel credits his parents who handled the worst parts of his job with ease.

“I think my parents were really good in how they dealt with it. Whether they were freaked out or not, they’d turn round to me and be like, ‘Isn’t life funny! What a weird thing all this stuff’s happening!’ And I think that gave me a good perspective on it rather than me thinking that all this was happening because I’m so amazing, or it was something to be feared or negative – so they gave me a nice healthy attitude towards it.”

The Equus actor also believes that the Harry Potter crew greatly helped him and co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. He loved how people on the set treated them as kids before thinking of them as actors.

Daniel starred in Imperium, Now You See Me 2, and Swiss Army Man last year. He likewise finished filming for the upcoming movie Jungle. The team had to spend four months in Colombia and Australia to provide a realistic backdrop for Yossi Ghinsberg’s memoir in which he chronicled his three-week fight for survival in Amazon in 1981.

The Woman in Black actor said that the role was “hard physically” because he wasn’t eating much despite the long days of filming. Four weeks before the filming for Jungle started, Daniel had to go on a diet to have the look of a lost and struggling adventurer in the unchartered parts of Amazon.

Apart from acting in several films, Daniel admits that he is working on a script that he hopes he can direct soon.
