Think Miley Cyrus is the highest-paid child actor on TV? Not even close. Angus T. Jones, the 16-year-old “half” of Two and a Half Men, makes $250,000 an episode. Miley doesn't even crack the top five.
1. Angus T. Jones, 16
"Two and a Half Men"
$250,000
TV’s top-paid kid was only 10 when he began his run as Jake Harper on the smash CBS sitcom.
He was born in Austin, Texas, lives in LA with his parents and has a much younger brother, Otto, who is 3 years old. He told the LA Times, in an interview last fall, that he would like to go to college, but hasn’t planned any further than that—and doesn’t even know if he wants to continue acting after “Men.”
2. Miranda Cosgrove, 16
"iCarly"
$180,000
3. Selena Gomez, 17
"Wizards of Waverly Place"
$25,000
4. Dylan and Cole Sprouse, 17
"The Suite Life"
$20,000 each
4. Keke Palmer, 16
"True Jackson"
$20,000
6. Miley Cyrus, 17
