Daisy Ridley’s staggering earnings have been revealed on Tuesday despite her not appearing in a Star Wars film since 2019.
The actress, 32, rose to fame in 2015 portraying Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy films The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.
Now The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden has disclosed that Daisy has accumulated profits of almost £14 million for the business through which she channels her earnings.
She set up Fawks Ltd in 2015, the year she first starred in Star Wars and last May reported a £730,000 profit for the year.
There is no salary disclosed for Daisy, who used to pull pints before getting her big acting break.
She grew up in London’s Maida Vale with her pH๏τographer father, Christopher Ridley, and banker mother, Louise Fawkner-Corbett.

After her breakthrough role in Star Wars, Daisy co-starred in the film Chaos Walking in 2021 opposite Tom Holland.
She has also leant her voice for animated film Peter Rabbit in 2018 and the video game Twelve Minutes in 2021.
Returning to science fiction films, Daisy had leading roles in Chaos Walking in 2021, independent drama Sometimes I Think About Dying in 2023, and psychological thriller The Marsh King’s Daughter in 2023.
Last year she also portrayed Gertrude Ederle in the biographical drama Young Woman and the Sea.
Daisy is now married to husband Tom Bateman, who she stared dating in 2017 and sparked engagement rumours when he was spotted with a ring on his wedding finger in 2019.
It comes after Daisy revealed she has been diagnosed with Graves’ disease.
Daisy opened up about her experience with the autoimmune disorder for the first time during an interview with Women’s Health magazine, in which she told how she mistakenly blamed her symptoms on a ‘really stressful’ film role.
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition where your immune system produces antibodies that cause the thyroid to produce too much thyroid hormone, according to the NHS.

The cause of Graves’ disease is unknown, but it mostly affects young or middle-aged women and often runs in families.
After suffering from symptoms including H๏τ flushes and fatigue following the filming of the psychological thriller Magpie, Daisy visited her GP, having put her health woes down to the role.
Opening up about her health battle, the Disney star shared that it was her ‘first time’ speaking publicly about her Graves’ disease.

She shared: ‘I thought, Well, I’ve just played a really stressful role; presumably that’s why I feel poorly.’
However, she was then urged to see an endocrinologist (a medical pracтιтioner who treats patients with hormone-related diseases), who later informed her that her symptoms can sometimes be referred to as ‘tired but wired.’
The star had struggled with symptoms that included hand tremors, racing heart rate, weight loss and fatigue.
After being made aware of what could be happening to her, Daisy had a moment of realisation, noting: ‘It was funny, I was like, “Oh, I just thought I was annoyed at the world,” but turns out everything is functioning so quickly, you can’t chill out.’
But while the Young Woman and the Sea star felt sad over her health condition, she also felt some frustration seeing as she was someone who physically took good care of herself.
Despite this, Daisy embarked on some lifestyle changes to help her manage the disease, including eating a mindful diet which she’s ‘not super strict about’ and practicing self-care including exercise to ‘make myself feel good.’
After implementing these changes, the beauty explained that she found herself feeling better and more aware of life around her, noting: that she ‘didn’t realise how bad I felt before.’
