Emma Watson has been named as Hollywood's top earner in 2009, banking an estimated £20million - no small achievement for someone who is just 19 years old.

Emma came 14th overall (and the youngest person on the list) in a table of top 40 earners published by Vanity Fair magazine

She beat Sarah Jessica Parker and Reese Witherspoon to the top spot, earning a reported £10million for each of the final two Harry Potter films.

Emma began playing Hermione in the Harry Potter films aged just 10. The films are said to have made £3.32billion worldwide, and have taken the highest average box office receipts per movie, with each film making an average of £554,880,000.

The young star's £10million fortune has seen her top a poll by the Guinness Book Of World Records and appear sixth on Forbes' rich list of Hollywood's Most Valuable Young Stars.

Emma has also added to her fortune through her contract as the face of Burberry.

She's not just a pretty face either. Emma has excelled academically with eight A*s and two As at GCSE, and three As at A-level and is now studying art and literature at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

She has also recently created a fashion range for ethical brand People Tree. She said: "There's much more awareness among my generation. The planet is at risk and I wanted to do so something.

"I've not had any fashion training, but I am an artist. I paint, I draw and I had a great team to work with. I designed the collection for myself and my friends; they're the sort of thing we wear – the difference being they're ecologically sound."

Emma Watson has grown-up in front of our very eyes, becoming more beautiful with every Harry Potter movie. We chart her spellbinding style evolution...
