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.”
