Rupert Grint Is A Top Celebrity Money Maker!

February 4th, 2010, 6:38 pm–Several small reports were published recently reporting that Rupert was on the top list of celebrity money makers. Now we usually don’t post about this sort of thing but we couldn’t resist mentioning this one coming from movieline.com. The heading reads Rupert Grint Made More Money Than George Clooney! Poor Clooney.
Excerpt: The young actors each took home $30 million for the two-part franchise finale Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Clooney earned an estimated $22 million total for projects including Up in the Air, The Men Who Stare at Goats, The American and roughly $5 million for appearing in foreign commercials. It’s a recession! A Lake Como villa owner’s gotta do what a Lake Como villa owner’s gotta do.
And again Rupert’s agency is going to contact us as soon as they are 100% on his attendance for the Wizarding World event. We took the post down because we don’t want to get your hopes up if he can’t attend.
Feel free to contact us with any questions at staff@rupert-grint.us. Speaking of this event, NBC is giving fans a chance to win a trip to the grand opening of the Harry Potter theme park!

“Maybe Rupert Grint can do the joint negotiating for them on Breaking Dawn.”
See, that ain’t right….hehehehehe.
I can’t even imagine 1 million, let alone 30, 40, or even 125 million.
Give me a dollar, shoot…..

I know huh AJ! He never comes off as somebody who has that kinda money. But we all know his weaknesses with cars…
February 4th, 2010
He has got to be one of the most down to earth people on the planet! If I has that kind of money at his age I would have been so full of myself. That’s what is so great about him! Well, that and the fact that he’s hot!!:)
February 4th, 2010
Jeez, that’s a HUGE raise!!! Thirty MILLION???? *dies*
February 4th, 2010
It is a lot. Wasn’t it just for HBP he got like 15-20 mil?? I guess though being two movies, he’d have a significant increase.
But I agree… he’s so down to Earth, you’d NEVER know he has that much money.
February 4th, 2010
I love the fact that he made more money than George Clooney! I love George Clooney. But, lets face it, he’s no Rupert Grint!!
February 4th, 2010
I read reports that Rupert would earn around $4million for each movie. So it looks like he got a hug pay raise.
I agree, he does not seem like he has that much money. You don’t see him flaunting it like some other celebrities. He’s so sweet.

Have they confirmed the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for the month of May?
February 5th, 2010
Well I know his money isn’t my business but I always said he needed to be paid more but was too nice to demand it. He is irreplaceable and plus after those amazing reviews on Half Blood Prince the WB should know how damn lucky they are to have him and without him the movies would suck dog dung.
February 5th, 2010
Hi Raylene he’s more than likely going but his reps asked us just to wait a bit before confirming. Keep checking back or sign up on our twitter for the latest because as soon as we know we will report it!!!! And we’ll do our best to try and do so way in advance for those who might want to go too.
February 5th, 2010
Nice to hear he’s being compensated well, but truthfully these type of lists are meaningless to me. It’s like whose the richest person in the U.S. or the world. Nice for them but what does it have to do with anything? I’m just sitting back waiting for the praise and hopefully awards that will be reaped onto Rupert in the future.
February 5th, 2010
I don’t really understand it: He and Emma both made 30 Million each or did they both earn 15 million each?
February 5th, 2010
Louise they both made 30 million dollars each, 15 million for each part of The Deathly Hallows movie.
February 6th, 2010
thank you rayisray! OMG so much money!
February 6th, 2010
I’m happy for Rupert, certainly. Really, I am, and like everybody else it makes me really happy that he doesn’t act like he makes that kind of money. I hope he continues to be the wonderful, humble person he is and won’t let his paychecks go to his head.
But I just can’t help thinking that doctors and other people who are doing jobs that are far more critical to people’s everyday lives don’t make even one percent of that income. I guess it just shows what value Western societies place on certain jobs. Sports people/actors/musicians deserve bucketloads of money, while people in far more prosaic but critical jobs don’t make much at all.
February 6th, 2010
Oh, and forgot to add that it would be completely fantastic if Rupert is able to make the opening for the Wizarding World, even though there’s no way I’m going to be able to be there. He does seem like a guy who likes amusement parks!
February 6th, 2010
lol, thanks Quotidas, for thinking of my profession there!
Errr, Rupert… I have an idea for a greeat way to invest all that money… Since Cherrybomb had a 1.5 Mio budget, you could actuelly fund about 20 films of that sort… with an average of 2 films a year, that would cover up about 10 years. With the income of just 1 project!!! O.O
February 6th, 2010
Orrrrrrr…..you fund me!!! I’ll write a granp proposal.
Hehehehehehe…
February 6th, 2010
I meant, grant.
February 6th, 2010
But my idea would make everyone happy!
February 6th, 2010
Karo, that’s a great idea! Other actors use their money to start their own production companies, why not Rupert?
February 6th, 2010
Yeah but even though celebs make a buttload of money they are taxed more than anybody else and on top of that most of them give large amounts to charities every single year. I think it is great to have celebs because so many of them have a need to help society. Look at Agenlina, Madonna, Matt Damon, and yes George Clooney lol, Edward Norton, those are just a few I know for sure give give give back to the world and aren’t greedy about it. I think because their giving nature is why they are blessed again and again with it… Rupert’s already doing the..
February 6th, 2010
And my idea wouldn’t????
I’m SO worth investing in…..
February 7th, 2010
Your idea is great AJ. That’s why I think he also should invest in me so I can open up my own salon doing make-up for under paid actors! Good idea? There are a bunch who didn’t make the top 40 I could cater to!
February 7th, 2010
There are a lot of very wealthy people out there who give more money than I could dream of making in a life time to charity. And that’s every year! You definately have to respect that!! And yes…even Clooney! Although I still say he’s no Rupert Grint!
February 9th, 2010
That much money noot making him pompous or arrogant is what is the best thing about Rupert! and Why most of us Love him because he is such a simpleton,
Karo, I Love your idea…that would be 20 movies in 10 years2 movies each year right?) with his own money and more movies with other money
…thats eye candy for us! so many Rupert Years…
Guys why dont you write to his reps abt this proposal.
