“Escaped” Hermione, millionaire woman Emma Watson became the big boss at the large luxury goods group Kering, which owns a series of expensive brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga… At the age of 32, despite being famous and Although Watson is rich, he still lives a “normal life” and spends wisely.

Emma Watson became a household name when she played Hermione in the hit movie Harry Potter. Before graduating, she had accumulated millions of dollars in her bank account. However, she still experienced a normal childhood with a normal education and only began to learn how to access part of her assets when she turned 18.

The actress has a net worth of $80 million and lives quite a private life. She does not reveal too much information about her personal life to the public. One can only see a small part of what she owns at the age of 32.

A small wooden house in France

When Emma Watson was 18 years old, she had about 12 million USD in hand. The first major property she spent money on was a $1.2 million luxury chalet located in a ski resort in France. She loves this sport so she “aggressively” spent thousands of dollars to equip and renovate the interior.

According to The Telegraph, the house was Emma’s way of celebrating her A-list status and receiving a significant payday. She worked so hard this past year, and didn’t even have many birthday parties so this was her gift to herself.

An ordinary house in London

In 2016, some Panama Papers articles revealed that Emma Watson spent $3.3 million to own a house in London. The actress used a foreign company she established to buy the property. Not much is known about the specific location of this property as the actress feels unsafe sharing that information.

Foreign enterprises

In 2016, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) published a list of individuals suspected of tax evasion along with the entire Panama Papers. Actress Emma Watson is on this list. She has an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands called Falling Leaves. There is no information on how much the company is worth, but since Watson bought a $3.3 million home through the company, media reports suggest that the company is also worth millions of dollars. .

“Emma Watson (like many other famous people) founded an offshore company for the sole purpose of protecting her identity. UK companies require shareholder details to be published and her real name is not kept anonymous to protect her safety. Foreign companies, on the contrary, do not disclose shareholder information. Emma absolutely does not receive taxes or profits from any foreign company. It’s just a matter of keeping privacy,” Emma Watson’s spokesperson said in an interview.

Environmentally friendly fashion

The fashion industry is flashy on the red carpet but has a significant impact on the environment. Emma Watson is aware of that and is one of the few A-list stars who cares about it.

Emma is often seen wearing eco-friendly outfits on the red carpet. Those dresses are more expensive than regular clothes because they need to use sustainable fabrics, produced in a process that has minimal impact on the environment. The actress is also very careful with the jewelry she wears and always looks for environmentally friendly brands even in everyday life.

Professional bodyguards

Emma Watson does not take selfies with fans when accidentally seen on the street. She was afraid that they might post it on social media immediately and make her position public. Watson is so careful because in the past, in 2013, she was approached by a stalker while near a movie set. This makes the actress aware of the importance of protecting personal privacy as well as improving security.

Since then, Emma Watson has been very careful with any information she shares with the public. She specifically hired a former officer of the New York City Police Department NYPD as her bodyguard. According to Daily Mail, she is willing to pay her bodyguard a very high salary, up to 110,000 USD a year. Denise, her bodyguard, follows her everywhere.

Charitable activities

Emma Watson spends millions of dollars to donate. In 2018, she gave $1.4 million to the Justice and Equality Foundation, a UK organization that fights against sexual harassment, assault, and discrimination. The actress was one of the first financial supporters of this Fund. After donating, she also signed an open letter along with other actresses to discuss gender pay differences.

Since his rise to fame, Watson has devoted a lot of time and dedication to promoting projects aimed at eradicating world poverty and gender equality.

Travels

Emma Watson has been working hard since she was a kid. But she also knows how to enjoy life during her time off. Emma enjoys traveling around the world, with her favorite places often being Türkiye and Mexico.

The actress does not like to share pictures of her vacations on social networks, but she is often recognized by paparazzi and fans no matter where she is. In 2015, she expressed extreme anger when she was followed and secretly photographed during a secret vacation in Istanbul.

Beauty products

Emma Watson has a very simple lifestyle, but there is one thing she never regrets investing in, which is beauty products.

“The funny thing is I have a lot of products at home. I have always loved makeup and how it can change a person. But the irony is that I don’t use them too much. I just love the product,” she shared.

The cars aren’t too flashy

Celebrities often have a luxury car collection, but Emma Watson doesn’t like cars that attract too much attention like Ferrari or Porsche. The most expensive car she owns is a Cadillac Escalade, worth $95,000. Watson was cautious about her security, so she probably chose an armored vehicle, which would have been even more expensive. She also has an Audi S3, which costs about $43,000, and a silver Toyota Prius, which costs about $30,000.
