Daniel Radcliffe Paid $25 Million Half-blood Prince Salary, Daniel Radcliffe has just signed a contract for $50 million to appear in the last two Harry Potter films.He will be paid $25 million to shoot penultimate book Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, and the same amount for the movie of J.K. Rowling's Potter finale, The Deathly Hallows.
Of course, after taxes, commissions to lawyers, agents and managers, he won't see that much of the cash, but it at least allows him to explore and experiment with his acting.
The money's also a nod towards the fact that the studio can't do the next Harry Potters without him - plus an acknowledgement that the boy wizard tag could harm him in the future. In any event, he's cleverly carving out a post-Potter career and, as he proved with Equus on the London stage this year, he's serious about his chosen profession. Daniel didn't miss a single performance at the Gielgud Theatre, insisting he go on even when incapacitated with flu.
Daniel added: "Obviously, I'm in a very fortunate position where I don't have to do things for the money. I can simply do them because there's an interesting character and a good director involved." He continued, without acknowledging or discussing an amount: "The money is absolutely fantastic and I'm very grateful, but it's not the main thing that drives me. Being on Fortune [magazine] lists is all very nice, but I am my own person. What people write about me doesn't make me who I am."
After he launches Harry Potter And The Order of Phoenix in Tokyo, London Los Angeles and New York, he will join David Haig and Kim Cattrall in World War 1 drama My Boy Jack, for Ecosse Films. He then begins preparing to film The Half-Blood Prince, again with director David Yates - somehow scheduling in Equus on Broadway as well as shooting The Deathly Hallows.
The salary seems fair, considering how much the films gross. Also, given Britain's high tax rates, say goodbye to at least half of that figure.
