Child Labor: The (self-made) Richest Kids
JoJo
she started her career as a singer and has released
two albums so far. With these only selling five million
copies worldwide, JoJo's brand is entering the world
of acting and movies. Under her real name of Joanna
Noelle Levesque she has so far been in two films.
It's good to see a young singer make the bold
and unusual step in to acting.
Tyler James Williams
Just ahead of JoJo is the young African-American
actor Tyler James Williams is best known for his
role in the Sitcom "Everyone Hates Chris" which
everyone loves. So, it is more than a little surprising
that he is not worth more than 1.2 million dollars.
Before EHC he did a brief stint on the show "Little Bill"
which was voice only but really gained the attention
of audiences world-wide when he played Tyler on
Sesame Street for five years. When he got to old to
be of much interest to the Sesame demographic he
may have faded in to obscurity but the role of Chris
came up and the rest, as they say, is history.
The Civil Rights movement the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) gave
him an award for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series'
in 2006 which he was generally believed to thoroughly
deserve. This prize was given in 2006 when he was just
fourteen years old. Many see Williams as the natural
successor to a certain Hollywood Superstar
with the last name of Smith.
Abigail Breslin
The first time the world clapped eyes on Abigail Breslin it
was when she played Bo Hess in the 2002 M. Night
Shyamalan movie Signs'. Although this was her
breakthrough role, she is best remembered for her
Academy Award Nominated role in the movie
Little Miss Sunshine.' She is the fourth youngest person
ever to have been nominated. She didn't get the award
but she had more fun co-presenting the ceremony and,
after all, she has many more years and the acting
promise to be nominated again in the future..
She is currently believed to be worth around three
million dollars which doesn't seem a great deal
considering her appearance in these two major movies,
plus supporting roles in several others. She will be
seen in 2009 in the adaptation of the controversial
novel My Sister's Keeper'. In it she will play a child
born through in-vitro fertilization as an identical
genetic match for he older sister who suffers from
leukemia. Breslin's character, Anna Fitzgerald,
sues her parents for medical emancipation' .
One to watch out for in 2009!
Vanessa Anne Hudgens
High School Musical represents the Brave New World
of the teen sing-along movie. The High School' series
represents a guilty pleasure most people over the
age of eleven will seriously not admit to being a fan..
That being said, it has made its young female star, the
walking mouthful-of- syllables that is Vanessa Anne
Hudgens a seriously rich young lady. Worth around three
million notes, this young lady is taking her own acting
very seriously. So seriously in fact that she has
recently become the spokesperson for Neutrogena.
This skin treatment retains at its cheapest at around
two dollars. One can imagine the thrifty Ms Hudgens - at
the appearance of a humungous zit - dashing down to
the local store to grab a few bottles. It's so nice
when famous kids stay down to earth.
Hayden Panettiere
Ms Hayden Panettiere may have a name that sounds
like a small Italian loaf but she has endeared herself to
millions of science fiction fans as the Cheerleader who
cannot be killed in the hit TV series Heroes'.
At seventeen years of age, the role of Claire Kill Me'
Bennett may have brought her to worldwide
attention but she is no stranger to the screen,
big or small,
and has been acting since the age of five.
She contributed to the success of the Disney movie
"Remember the Titans" in which she co-starred
opposite Denzel Washington in 2000. It was the revenue
this movie earned that encouraged Disney to make a
whole stack of sports related features. With about three
and a half million in the bank she won't get upset if you do.
Dakota Fanning
Demanding two million per movie, Dakota Fanning is
rumored to now be worth over four million dollars.
You will have seen her opposite Tom Cruise in War of
the Worlds' but is now doing the painful transition'
parts between child and adult actor.
She made an early appearance (as did Ms Panettiere) in
the TV lawyer-as-complete- f**kwit' series Ally McBeal
but her first real appearance was not quite a starry.
In fact her first known appearance on film was opposite
Ray Charles in a TV commercial for the state lottery.
Well, you have to start somewhere and this initial I'll do
anything' moment hasn't affected her subsequent
career adversely. If anything, she is one of the
teens in this list who is projected to do
extremely well in the future.
