She is one of Hollywood's highest paid actresses and lives a very privileged lifestyle that 99 per cent of people can only dream of.
Still, Anne Hathaway acted as an average Joe and accompanied hundreds of protestors as she joined the Occupy Wall Street demonstration in Manhattan's Union Square.
The 29-year-old, who is worth a reported $58 million, was pictured marching with protesters and sticking it to the man on Thursday in The Big Apple.
Anne, whose films have made approximately a total of $3,202,600,000, tried to blend in with the crowd by wearing a black hooded jacket, grey hat and sunglasses.
The Oscars hostess held up a sign in support of the campaign that read: 'Blackboards not bullets'.
Occupy Wall Street is an ongoing protest that began September 17 2011 in New York City's Zuccotti Park in the Wall Street financial district.
The protests have mainly focused on social and economic inequality, rising unemployment and corruption.
The demonstrators use the slogan: 'We are the 99 per cent', which refers to the growing difference in wealth between the wealthiest 1 per cent and the rest of the population.
Anne, from Brooklyn, New York, was paid a reported $5 million for her role in Bride Wars but despite the huge pay cheque she still campaigned for change in wealth.
As the day went on Hathaway transformed her appearance from peaceful protestor to more of an anarchist look.
She swapped her original sign for a smaller lighter one that was easier to carry.
The new sign read: 'Blackboards not bullets', which was a clear statement in support of students and education.
She covered her face with a red checked pattern scarf to hide her identity and the people with her became more agitated.
Her boyfriend, Adam Shulman, became annoyed when people started taking pictures of the-Devils-Wears-Prada actress.
Adam, who is also an actor, repeatedly stuck his hand out in front of his girlfriend's face as a passersby attempted to get a picture of her.
The Dark Knight Rises star is not the first millionaire celebrity to join the protest.
British comedian and actor Russell Brand has previously taken part in the demonstration and so have Kanye West and Russell Simmons.
