Read More ]"/>

Kate Winslet is a national treasure – the United Kingdom Film Council says the Oscar-winner is worth $99.7million to her country in tourism and industry.

Winslet, whose Golden Globe and Oscar wins in 2009 marked what many saw as long overdue recognition, provides tourism revenue to Britain for her newfound prominence.

David Steele, of the film council's head of research and statistics, said many factors such as her salary were taken into an experimental estimate of the 34-year-old's worth to her country.

He said: "When an actor achieves international prominence, they have a general effect of boosting their country of origin that works its way through television appearances, advertising and celebrity news."

The UK Telegraph said the council estimates nearly $57.2million was spent on Winslet's British movies. Her top salary was $10million for Finding Neverland with Johnny Depp in 2004.
