Every year, rich lists rank the most loaded celebs in the world, and UK actors are always among some of the richest. They’re making millions.

One of the most recent rich lists of its kind was publlished by Heatworld, and looks specifically at the young people thriving in their given industries. It’s packed full of newly made icons, who are all under 30. That hasn’t stopped them hitting dizzy heights in their careers, mind you.

Here are the youngest UK actors who were named on the rich list, ranked by their whopping net worths.

11. Phoebe Dynevor – £1.8million

Up first is our Bridgerton diamond, 30-year-old Phoebe Dynevor. She became a household name after she played Daphne Bridgerton. She was the highest paid cast member on Bridgerton, bagging £400k a season. She’s since had Hollywood roles, and has more Netflix ones up her sleeve!

10. Leo Woodall – £2.2million

29-year-old Leo Woodall made his millions winning our hearts. He’s been in One Day, The White Lotus, and Mad About The Boy. Swoon.

9. Anya Taylor-Joy – £3million

Next is The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy. But, that wasn’t her highest paid role. She bagged £1.3million for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and £500k for The Queen’s Gambit. Not bad for being only aged 29!

8. Emma Mackey – £4.7million

Sex Education star Emma Mackey has a huge net worth of £4.7million. She’s since starred in loads more TV shows and films, and is the face of Burberry’s perfume adverts. Emma is 30.

7. Paul Mescal – £6million

Will I ever be out of a Paul Mescal era? I fear not. I probably don’t need to list all the huge career accolades he has, but let’s just say he’s starred in things such as Gladiator II, Normal People, Hamnet and Aftersun. He’s 30, by the way.

6. Maisie Williams – £9.7million

Maisie Williams is only 28, and she already has a huge net worth of nearly £10million. Of course, most of that has come from Game of Thrones. Apparently she was getting £150k per episode as Arya Stark.

5. Florence Pugh – £9.8million

One place above Maisie is Florence Pugh, who is aged 30 – just about making herself eligible for this list. She’s had some huge pay cheques in her career. She was reportedly paid £1.4million for Thunderbolts, and £700k for We Live In Time. Add Oppenheimer, Midsommar, Little Women and all her other successes to that, and it’s no wonder she’s so loaded.

4. Asa Butterfield – £13.7million

Up next is another Sex Education star, 29-year-old Asa Butterfield. He’s been acting since he was a child, having been the lead in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas when he was only 10.

3. Sophie Turner – £21.9million

We all should have known that the latest Lara Croft, 30-year-old Sophie Turner, was going to be on here. She is also more Game of Thrones royalty. She was apparently paid £150k per episode of GoT, and bagged £1.5million for the X-Men movies.

2. Millie Bobby Brown – £24million

I’m weeping that Millie Bobby Brown is just 22 and has this level of net worth. She has more millions than years! Of course, she gained international recognition for playing Eleven in Netflix series Stranger Things, for which she received nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards.

1. Tom Holland – £35.7million

King Tom Holland is top. Naturally. Our Spider-Man. He’s apparently paid £7.5million per Spider-Man movie, and to be honest, is worth every penny.
