Anthony Hopkins leads the pack of the UK’s wealthiest actors, boasting a net worth of £130 million, outshining even Daniel Craig and Michael Caine.
London: The UK has a treasure trove of talented actors, and it seems like they just keep getting richer. You’ve got classics like Harry Potter and Four Weddings and a Funeral that have really stood the test of time.
But guess what? There’s one actor who’s raking it in more than the rest. Anthony Hopkins is sitting pretty with a whopping £130 million to his name. That’s more than both Michael Caine and Daniel Craig combined!
Surprisingly, neither of those two even made it into the top eight richest British actors. Can you believe that? Hopkins, who became famous for his role in The Silence of the Lambs, is at the top of the list for 2024.
This guy has won tons of awards, including two Oscars and four BAFTAs. He even snagged an Emmy and a Laurence Olivier Award. In 2021, he made history as the oldest person to win an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in ‘The Father’.
With a career that’s spanned six decades, it’s no wonder he’s considered a legend. He even got knighted by Queen Elizabeth II back in 1993 for his contributions to drama.
In second place, we have Rowan Atkinson, who’s worth £122 million. He’s the genius behind Mr. Bean and has also starred in Blackadder and the Johnny English films.
Hugh Grant rounds out the top three, also with a net worth of £122 million. He became a household name with his role in Four Weddings and a Funeral and has charmed audiences in Notting Hill and Bridget Jones’s Diary.
And just to give you a little more context, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is in sixth place with £81.5 million. He made a cool £75 million by the time he wrapped up the last Potter film in 2011.
Twilight’s Robert Pattinson is right there with him, also at £81.5 million, thanks to his role as Edward Cullen. That film series really put him on the map!
