Harry Potter is Britain’s Most Stinking Rich Teenager

When we were 16 years-old we had twelve different jobs cleaning chimneys to earn enough money to buy one slice of stale bread of our sick mother. But it’s a different story for Harry Potter.

Daniel Radcliffe, the boy who plays Harry Potter, has been named Britain’s richest teenager. Radcliffe is now apparently worth £23 million. Bitter? Us?

Daniel Radcliffe (DVDs) - whose latest movie Harry Potter And The Goblet Of
Fire has had the fourth most successful opening weekend in history -
has just signed a deal worth £8 million to star in Harry Potter And The
Order Of The Phoenix, which has pushed his earnings up to £23 million, and made him the richest teenager in the
country.

Despite having so much money that he could buy your life and snuff
it out with the click of a finger, Radcliffe doesn’t seem too phased by
his new-found fortune:

"To
be honest, I don’t actually know how much [he is worth] at this point. In
a way, I think that’s right. It’s not something that affects the way I
think about things. … If childhood is being surrounded by people who you
love being around and being incredibly happy, then I absolutely have
that."

Radcliffe also has a giant robot horse-butler made of rubies that speaks in 17
different languages which also makes him happy, but that’s beside the point.

Radcliffe is now richer than failed Welsh pop-singer Charlotte
Church, whore-boinker Wayne Rooney and horse-faced wailing hippy Joss
Stone. Which is handy, as he’ll need all that money in later life as he
settles down to a life completely dominated by playing walk-on cameos dressed
up as a wizard in crappy spoof films.
