Emma Watson is a British actress and model with an estimated net worth of $60 million. She became globally popular after she played the role of Hermione Granger in all eight "Harry Potter" films from 2001 to 2011. Recently, Watson made some buzz after dating rumors with Prince Harry widely circulated.

After the "Harry Potter" success, Emma Watson, who has a $60 million net worth as listed by The Richest, continued to work as an actress and starred in films such as "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "The Bling Ring," "This Is the End" and "Noah." She also lent her voice to "The Tales of Despereaux." But, it was in the "Harry Potter" franchise that Watson earned worldwide prominence, critical accolades and over £10 million.

When the "Harry Potter" series came to its conclusion, Emma Watson decided to divide her time between studying and working on other projects from 2011 to 2014. She enrolled at Brown University and Oxford University and by May 2014, she graduated from Brown with a bachelor's degree in English Literature.

Aside from acting, Emma Watson ventured into modelling, Celebrity Net Worth reported. She has done extensive modelling work for Burberry and Lancôme campaigns. She also became a fashion consultant and helped established the clothing line, People Tree.

Last year, the British Academy of Film and Television Art honored 24-year-old Emma Watson with the "British Artist if the Year" award. She was also appointed as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador that same year. Upon becoming a UN ambassador, Watson helped launch the UN Women campaign, "HeForShe," which urges men to promote gender equality.

Meanwhile, Emma Watson's net worth has been recently scrutinized after reports claimed she and 30-year-old British royal, Prince Harry, are dating. According to the Australian publication, Women's Day, the royal prince invited the young actress via an email stating that he would like to get to her.

Prince Harry's invitation came after he learned that Emma Watson had broken up with her Brit rugby player boyfriend, Matthew Janney last December, Hollywood Life revealed. He then contacted mutual friends to help him hook up with her. During the alleged date, a dozen of the Watson's friends came along with her.

"Harry didn't want her to feel like she was put on the spot," a source explained. "A party also shows he's fun and not stuffy. He's smitten - and it's more than Emma's looks."

Whether the rumors are true or not, with Emma Watson's net worth, successful career and philanthropic work, it will be without a doubt that she can serve a true princess' duties.
