Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe Are Highest-Paid Actors

Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe are two 19-year-olds who make major bank. Vanity Fair named both Harry Potter stars the top earning actor and actress in Hollywood for last year.

Daniel earned a whopping $41 million pay day in 2009. He received $20 million for both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II, plus another million for royalties from older films and other earnings. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint each brought home an estimated $30 million after their $15 million fee for starring in the upcoming two Harry Potter films (click here to check out Rupert's amazing pad). That's more money than even Hollywood A-listers like Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Johnny Depp earned.

What do you think about actors making such humongous amounts of money? Do they deserve such huge paychecks?

Should big stars get paid less?
