In May 2023 Emma earnt herself a place on the Richest Under-35s List, coming in 24th place with a net worth of £60million.
The star bagged £50million through her role as Hermione in the Harry Potter franchise, before earning another £15million through Beauty and the Beast.
She’s also amassed more than £23 million through her investment firm Hestia Hebe – named after the Greek goddesses of the hearth, home and family, and youth.
The star also founded Renais Gin, a super premium gin, which she launched with her brother Alex in 2023.
After a successful debut in the UK, the gin is now also available in the United States, reaching over 40 states.
Last October Emma was spotted in person at a matriculation ceremony at Oxford University after signing up for her master’s degree in creative writing.
The star attended the city’s Sheldonian Theatre for the gathering which marks students’ formal admission to the university.
Fellow students were delighted to see Emma at the event where she was wearing a black gown, white blouse and black ribbon just like the other women there.

Speaking to the Daily Mail’s diary editor Richard Eden, one student joked: ‘It was the first time I had seen her in a gown since the Harry Potter movies.’
Emma’s plans to study creative writing were revealed in an interview with the Financial Times in April 2023, in which it was reported that she had begun writing poetry during lockdown as well as essays on love, friendship and relationships.
Further details were then revealed by The Sun last month, which reported that her studies would be part-time and mostly online.
She is set to attend ‘a handful’ of lectures on site, with staff reportedly told that she would be present with a small security team.
A source told The Sun: ‘The course is for older adults and can be done on a part-time basis, which is perfect for Emma’s schedule.
‘She only has to be on site for four or five days a year because she can do the rest of the course online from home.
‘Because she’s a famous actress, she’ll have a security team looking after her whenever she has classes to go to.
‘There have been a few incidents recently and she is taking every precaution necessary to ensure her safety.’
