Didn’t you know it was rude to ask someone how much they make? The sheer wealth of movie stars, in particular, is a source of interest to us all. Forbes 400, anyone? Luckily for us, we can find all we ever wanted to know about the state of someone’s assets in the privacy of our own homes, with the click of a button. Indeed, we want to know who made the most that year and we want to know who was the lucky celeb to take home the biggest paycheck for a role.

Obviously, the iconic role turned out quite well for Grint, becoming a millionaire before reaching puberty. But, just like the laid-back Ron Weasley, Grint seems to take a similar approach to life: he doesn’t even know how much he made for the role! When asked about it, he said that it was a “ridiculous” amount and that “I must admit I don’t actually know how much I earned – the exact number.” Well, Rupert Grint, that figure is something like $30 million, and perhaps even more. Do you want another ice cream van? You could get yourself a few! Interestingly, he also said that “I’ve never really wanted to [know].”
