TV's Top Paid Young Actors

Just as the school year is coming to an end, The Post conducted a survey of casting agents, talent agents and TV execs to determine TV’s richest child actors.
“People have misconceptions about how much these kids get paid,” says one agent who specializes in young, young actors.
Even some of the biggest teen stars don’t make that much from TV.
“People think there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow” for young TV stars, says Hollywood talent agent Jackie Lewis, who represents a bevy of young TV actors.
“But let’s think about the commissions given out once they get that pot of gold: Ten percent goes to the agent; 10-15 percent goes to the manager and 15 percent goes to the Coogan Account,” she says, alluding to the trust fund that by California state law must be established for underage actors and that they cannot touch until they’re 21.
“And then there’s taxes,” she adds.
“So even if a kid is making $25,000 a week, he or she may see only 30 or 40 percent of that money.”

So, I just saw Miley Cyrus' new music video upon my friend's recommendation... and I couldn't stop laughing. I think I'm delirious from sheer exhaustion.

That song is really catchy.

Rico Rodriguez is the only one that matters, tyvm

I mean, his character is so annoying sometimes but MF is fantastic. The rest suck.

This is per EPISODE?!? Jesus, I'll say dumb lines and be a little fat kid for $250k a week!
[info]filmic_1109 10th-May-2010 09:46 pm (UTC)
Actually, it takes about 3-4 days to film an episode, so he's getting $500k a week maybe.
[info]dancehalldays 10th-May-2010 09:51 pm (UTC)
I had always assumed that the "per episode" fee was for each completed full episode of filming, despite how long each episode takes to film. hmm.
[info]kimberwyn 10th-May-2010 10:09 pm (UTC)
Per episode = per week
[info]number1spatula 10th-May-2010 10:12 pm (UTC)
ONLY 500K a week? How does he live?!
[info]bob80 11th-May-2010 04:20 am (UTC)
LOL, no stars get paid per episode, which typically takes a week.
[info]jezekel 10th-May-2010 09:23 pm (UTC)
ICARLY SHOULD BE NUMBER 1!!!
[info]calcified 10th-May-2010 09:23 pm (UTC)
This can't be right. Supposedly Selena only makes 10K per ep (IK..."only") and there is NO WAY Nick dishes out that much to Miranda.
[info]bostongirl2003 10th-May-2010 09:55 pm (UTC)
she just re-upped for a new season, and it was reportedly for 7 figures...

I wonder if maybe she gets a huge salary in lieu of merchandising money?
[info]trinigren 10th-May-2010 10:23 pm (UTC)
iCarly get like twice the viewers of Wizards so why not?
[info]heytherealana 11th-May-2010 03:08 am (UTC)
Really? That's so sad, iCarly is the dumbest show I've ever seen. Kids these days *shakes head*
