In 2024, he was ordered to pay $2.3 million after HMRC (the UK’s tax, payments, and customs authority) said the actor had wrongly classed a revenue of $5.7 million in film residuals (streaming rights, DVD sales, etc.) as a capital asset rather than income.

“I actually don’t know how much I have,” Grint told The Radio Times about his net worth. “I couldn’t even really guess. It doesn’t really motivate me too much.”
