Tom Felton, known for his role as Draco Malfoy, achieved a remarkable financial feat within the Harry Potter franchise. Despite appearing for only 31 minutes across all eight films, Felton reportedly secured approximately $18.5 million. This equates to an astonishing $597,000 per minute on screen.
In contrast, franchise lead Daniel Radcliffe, who accumulated around 539 minutes of screen time, earned an estimated $95.6 million. This resulted in a per-minute earning of $177,365. Felton's earnings per minute were thus over three times greater than Radcliffe's.
Felton began his lucrative role at age 13 and, like many teenagers, reportedly spent a significant portion of his earnings on desired items. He later managed his finances more prudently with the assistance of an accountant.
