Previously, when mentioning Emma Watson, people immediately thought of the “famous” role of Hermione. However, at the present time, Emma has stepped out of the great shadow of her childhood, becoming a brave millionaire on the path of management and business.

At age 9, Emma Watson beat out thousands of competitors to take on the role of Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” movies. From an unknown girl to a child star, she has spent most of her life in the spotlight.

Up to now, at any event she attends, Emma Watson is still an A-list star who attracts countless people’s attention. In particular, her success is extending beyond the entertainment industry, “blossoming” both in the fields of management and business.

This helps Emma Watson affirm her position as a millionaire, ranking 3rd on the list of 30 richest stars under 30 in England in 2020.

The screen star became a big boss in the fashion industry

The role of Hermione helped Emma Watson’s name and reputation spread globally. After the movie, she received a lot of love from movie and book lovers Harry Potter.

Thanks to that, the acting career of the star born in 1990 is increasingly flourishing. She appeared in famous series such as Noah: The Flood, Beauty and the Beast, Watson’s Little Women… Most all made a splash, helping her receive many achievements.

Notably, in 2020, this multi-talented beauty was also unexpectedly recruited by the luxury fashion empire Kering to join the board of directors. In the list of additional members of the Board of Directors, many people were surprised to find Emma Watson appearing with famous names in the business world, such as Jean Liu – President of Chinese ride-hailing startup Didi Chuxing. or Tidjane Thiam – former CEO of investment bank Credit Suisse.

At this corporation, the female millionaire was elected Chairwoman of the Sustainable Development Council. This appointment decision is considered by many experts to be wise by Kering.

With a great educational background, a recognized name in Hollywood, and global appeal, Emma Watson is the right person for this group.

The British beauty has two bachelor’s degrees, one from Worcester College, Oxford, the other from Brown University.

Emma Watson’s image is full of positive energy. She often does charity work, attends community events, and supports disadvantaged groups. In 2014, the actress was appointed as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations. The same year, she launched the United Nations Women’s campaign HeForShe, calling for support for gender equality.

In 2019, French President Emmanuel Macron even invited Watson to join the Gender Equality Council, as an advisor to the G7 organization.

At the same time, in the fashion industry, the influence of a 32-year-old female star is not small. She is often called a famous beauty icon, sitting in the front row at shows, appearing in famous magazines such as Vogue, ELLE, Marie Claire, GQ, Nylon…

In the 4.0 era, no one can deny the attraction of Emma Watson. With just her personal Instagram account, she has up to 67 million followers.

Faced with many public doubts surrounding the appointment decision, Mr. François-Henri Pinault – chairman of Kering Group – personally spoke up.

He expressed his honor and trust in this team of advisors: “They all have extensive knowledge and rich experience in many fields. Therefore, I hope my friends will bring new breeze and valuable contributions to Kering.”

Lives quietly and simply despite owning 80 million USD

At the age of 32, Emma Watson has full fame and money. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her assets are up to 80 million USD.

However, she is also famous for being discreet about her private life and does not like to flaunt her personal life. The female millionaire herself said that her personal life is very simple, even boring, so fans do not need to be curious.

Sharing with Interview magazine, Emma Watson said she is not too excited about drinking alcohol, dressing sexy or smoking. Even when her account has millions of dollars at her disposal, she still only makes very practical choices.

For example, to reward herself after hard work filming, Emma only chose a Toyota Prius costing $30,000.

“Even though all my friends around me think it’s pretty ugly, I still love my Prius. Some people even joke that I drive a brick. Actually, to be fair, it’s not the prettiest car on the road, but it’s good for the environment. It’s reasonable and monotonous – just like me,” Watson shared.

Besides this car model, the female millionaire also has an armored Cadillac Escalade worth $95,000 and an Audi S3 worth $43,000 for work. Compared to other famous actors, Emma’s car collection is not too overwhelming.

Every day, the life of a female millionaire still maintains a slow and monotonous rhythm. Everything almost follows her personal principles.

When she is busy filming and participating in promotional schedules, she has her own driver to take her back and forth. The only people she communicated with were the film crew and staff. Every time she finishes work, she just gets in the car and goes straight home. Then the next day, everything will repeat exactly the same. That’s what makes Emma consider herself “truly a boring person”.

Regarding money issues, the female millionaire even shared that she felt “sick” because of her wealth. There were times when she didn’t even ask about her assets. It was not until she was 18 years old, when talking with her father about her “money management”, that the British beauty was shocked to learn: The salary of the films alone was up to tens of millions of dollars.

Kering’s female director shared with the media: “When participating in the third or fourth movie, the money started to increase rapidly. I’m absolutely sick of having to figure out how to manage it.”

Therefore, Emma Watson had to take a course at Coutts Bank to understand how to manage spending. Since 2014, she has also hired someone who used to work for the New York Police Department to manage her assets with a salary of $150,000/year.

Although spending on herself is very cautious, Emma Watson is always generous with charity expenses. She spent millions of dollars for educational purposes, helping to improve the facilities of Brown University – the school she attended. In addition, Kering’s female boss also donated 1.4 million USD to support victims of sexual abuse.

Apparently, Watson’s personal life is not as glamorous or interesting as fans think. However, being reasonable and boring seems to have helped the actress maintain her reputation in a society full of temptations and traps.
