Who are the 10 richest kids on TV?
It’s easy to feel jealous of celebrities - the glamour, the freebies, the wardrobe. But it’s even worse when they aren’t even old enough to drive, yet make enough money to buy a new car for every day of the week. On Monday, the New York Post released their list of the top 10 richest kids on TV. According to the paper, “Two and a Half Men’s” Angus T. Jones, 16, who makes a whopping $250,000 an episode, snagged the top spot. The CBS star was the network’s only young actor to make the list - four spots were filled by Disney channel stars, three by Nickelodeon and two by ABC. Though Miley Cyrus ranks Number 6 on the list, earning $15,000 for each episode of “Hannah Montanna,” New York Post reports that Cyrus is actually a billionaire, when you count her concerts, CDs and movies. 1. Angus T. Jones, 16 2. Miranda Cosgrove, 16 3. Selena Gomez, 17 4. Dylan and Cole Sprouse, 17 4. Keke Palmer, 16 6. Miley Cyrus, 17 6. Rico Rodriguez, 11 8. Demi Lovato, 17 |

Hanna Montana is really great, my kids love her and my niece love her too,–
Hanna Montana was miley cyrus's ticket to stardome. she got really famous because of that show*":
Terrell, Cyrus's Hannah franchise is actually worth over a billion.
Miley Cyrus a billionaire.I don't think so she hasn't even been acting or singer a decade and a billionaire yeah right.I think her net worth is 25 million dollars.Angus T Jones probably could be a billionaire soon maybe in 10-20 years.Miley show will be over soon because how she acts she's too grown.Disney should have ended her show when she turned 17.
HELLO - did anyone read the article? The New York Post wrote it – just click on their name (its in blue, its a link) you'll find them all. Geez
You guys take the cake and you college folks – give me a break.
omg. A quarter million for 5-10 minutes of airtime per episode? I'm so jealous. Hopefully Angus is learning to manage his money well so he doesn't end up broke before he is 30 like so many other child actors.

Go, Angus! Freakin' hilarious character he plays. The military school episode is a classic. As many beat downs as the writers serve "Jake", his character stays amazingly good natured. I was a little surprised he is the top dog money-wise, but I don't know why. Looks like Disney doesn't really rule the world.
I have seen 2 and a half men a few times, but do not feel it is that great of a show. I also don't think the kid in that show is some amazing actor and wonder why he even gets that big of a payday... seems like alot of sheep enjoy the show and that is what makes the ratings and the big payday. GJ kid.
You go Angus!!!! He is so so so funny. My husband and I are 67 and 76 and watch every rerun at 7 pm at night. Yes, we know the words by heart, but, it is the funniest show on tv for these two old people. Angus absolutely makes the show even funnier. Charlie Sheen is adorable with his face actions, hilarious, and good ole' Alan, is there really anyone that dumb??? He is so funny. The cast is great, the writers earn every penny they make, but, as to Angus, I pray that he continues to be the responsible person he can be. The world has enough of the junk from children on television. We want more Ron Howards. You go, Angus.
Angus must have stepped in poo a long time ago because he is very lucky. I wonder if we will see him much after this show is gone.
This show is so over rated I can't help but shake my head. The veteran supporting actresses are good but Charlie Sheen is not much of an actor. Luckily he got that Monday time slot or things may have beeen different. Although I only see Miranda Cosgrove in passing at least I feel she is a bit more worthy of the money based on her show.
Angus has real talent unlike those dumb Nickelodeon and Disney idiots. They are over acted teens. He actually knows how to portray a real teenager!
Angus is much funnier than any of the other kids listed. He is actually funny and not corny like the others.
Good for everyone on this list. Using Miley Cyrus' $15,000 figure per show, and with 85 shows under her belt going into this summer, she's made a total of $1,275,000 from making "Hannah Montana" shows. That doesn't sound like much in today's entertainment world. But add in merchandise sales and her Disney pay must be enormous.
Love "Two and a Half Men" because Angus Jones reminds me of my son! Good for him! He has great comedic timing!
I'm 24 and I have to say I love Selena Gomez! The only ones who can act on that list are Miranda Cosgrove and Selena Gomez and Keke Palmer. Those three girls will go very far in the futre.
Who the hell is Demi Lovato?
Is prolly a word?
Dylan and Cole Sprouse count as two people... this isn't that hard to understand.
I love Angus. He has grown up to be a handsome young man. And his folks must be AC/DC fans!!!
buhahahahaha love how it says top 10 but there is only 8....
Cyrus makes so much money it aint even funny, shes prolly made more then you or I will make in our lifetime already. These number here are only from the shows that they do, sure a measly 15k (that I would do another man for) an episode may not seem alot, but then lets factor in the concerts, CDs, backpacks, toys, movies, games, bed sheets....
She makes more then all the others combined...
And I bet it breaks her fathers Achey-breaky heart that he he was never tht successful...
But I think we can all agree when I say, Way to go kids...u lucky Bast****...
This is hilarious.....
Well done in creating a top 10 list with only 8 entries in it. CNN once again proves that its editing standards have truly earned the channel its last place position in cable news.
I myself have seen these shows and watch them regulary. Some of them do not deserve what they are mkaing. Plus this is very inaccurate because like the end of the article said about Miley, all of these kids have another source of money, whether its singing or doing movies. Clearly Two and a Half Men is hilarous and that is why he makes the big bucks
Good one gammy. Couldn't have said it better myself. Though there are some rare species who do make it into adulthood without a problem – Ron Howard.
If you click on the article below are who is missing
8. Victoria Justice, 17
"Victorious"
$12,000
8. Atticus Shaffer, 11
"The Middle"
$12,000
I guess I would want my daughter to work for Nick, those Cheapo's at Disney don't pay. Of couse it does not say if they get a cut of the merchandise.... Mmmmm T-Shirts.....
Lets just hope these kids will stay out of trouble
They will need all that money for rehab and bail later down the road. We have seen first hand how some other child tv stars have ended up.
I'm surprised two nobody's like Selena Gomez and Miranda Cosgrove beat out Miley Cyrus. No wonder she's quitting Hanna Montana.
How much does Dora make?
Who in the Heck is Miley's Agent?!!!!!!!!! She's one of the Biggest on the List and she's #6? Think twice when you sign your next contract there little girl!
There are 10, Dylan and Cole each count as a person. Miley & Rico should be #7 and Demi #10.
omg...just click on the NYP link in the article if you want to see all ten and stop whining about the count!
Wow, let's argue over who can count to 10 better, and who's right. I'll bet if the number was 20 there would be no comments yet because you'd all still be counting.
I get 9 too, unless it's typed in double secret ink
Maybe they're counting Miley Cyrus and her alter persona, Hanna Montana, as two also.
Or maybe the next 15 kids on the list are from Disney and are all making the same amount.
Disney is a factory.
number 10?
These comments should be about the article....not one another
Dylan and Cole Sprouse, I believe that twins still count as 2. Unless you're using the "New Math" with that college degree.
Dylan and Cole Sprouse are not 2 different people???
The count is 9.
I learned it in college.
Holly and Pamela,
Way to go overboard before you actually counted. Too bad about that whole college degree thing.
A hard count nets eight!!! What about nine and 10?
Holly and Pamela,
Count the kids listed.....I'll wait......take your shoes off if you have to...what? 9?....really?! now, who's ignorant?
Point: mitchell
Holly, you are awesome! I thought about posting the same comment but I'm glad you did..
It is numbered properly if you'd realize that the duplicate numbers are ties. Guess you don't need a college degree to make an ignorant comment on a website either.
I'm guessing it doesn't take a college degree to throw together a list that not only doesn't have 10 people on it, but is not numbered properly?
Who is the 10th?
I love Angus T. Jones on Two and a half men, he is hilarious!!
I guess you have to at the right place at the right time to get discovered.
The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon are basically kid shows who have no real talent and to much overacting. More and more kids are watching t.v. I guess thats what they like.
Sick.
