'Harry Potter' star Rupert Grint says he 'couldn't even really guess' how much money he has

  • Rupert Grint said he "couldn't even really guess" how much money he has in a recent interview with The Radio Times.

  • The "Harry Potter" star's net worth was most recently pegged at $US50 million in 2016.

  • "It doesn't really motivate me too much," Grint said, adding that his fortune allows him to live comfortably.

  • The actor, known for his role as Ron Weasley, also said that he still struggles with the fame the "Harry Potter" films afforded him.

  • Grint will appear in a BBC production of Agatha Christie's "The ABC Murders" alongside John Malkovich as Hercule Poirot.


Rupert Grint has no idea how much money he has.

The actor who played Ron Weasley in the eight-film "Harry Potter" saga told The Radio Times that he doesn't pay much attention to his finances but knows he is "comfortable."

Grint's net worth was last pegged at around $US50 million in 2016 - less than half of what his co-star Daniel Radcliffe was reportedly worth.

These lofty figures are over the head of Grint, though, who told The Radio Times: "I actually don't know how much I have. I couldn't even really guess.

"It doesn't really motivate me too much. It makes you comfortable, that's the good thing about it, I think.

"I'm glad it's there but I'm not really that focused on it."

Grint has taken on a number of acting roles since the "Harry Potter" franchise wrapped in 2011, recently starring in Sky One's "Sick Note" and AMC's "Snatch" reboot.

He's also starring in a BBC production of Agatha Christie's "The ABC Murders" this Christmas alongside John Malkovich as Hercule Poirot.

Grint's frugal spending habits seem to align with his former wizarding colleagues. In 2016, Radcliffe told the Belfast Telegraph that he does very little with his $US100 million fortune.

"I'm very grateful for it, because having money means you don't have to worry about it, which is a very lovely freedom to have. It also gives me immense freedom, career-wise," he said.

Grint also said in his interview with The Radio Times that he still struggles with the fame that the "Harry Potter" films afforded him: "Sometimes you just want to go to B&Q [British hardware store]."

He added that the first thing he did after the films finally wrapped in 2011 was get his tonsils removed, as the producers wouldn't allow him to have the operation: "It was too much recovery time and there was the fear that it would change my voice."
