Which Young Sheldon Child Actor is the Richest?
It looks like the young stars have managed to earn quite a sum from the popular show.
The Big Bang Theory is not only known for its unique cast of characters and hilarious subplots, but also for paying its main cast incredible amounts of money. Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco all earned more than a million dollars per episode in the later seasons of the show, so the money made by the stars of the spin-off Young Sheldon may seem like a joke in comparison.
Still, these young actors are definitely making the most of their roles, with some becoming millionaires at such a tender age.
Young Sheldon has three main child actors in its cast, with Iain Armitage (Sheldon) leading the show, while Montana Jordan (Georgie) and Raegan Revord (Missy) play more of a supporting role.
So it's no wonder that Iain Armitage earns much more than his co-stars, as young Sheldon Cooper is integral to the show's success. While his salary is not disclosed, he has an estimated net worth of $6 million! That's quite a sum for a 14-year-old, don't you think? Not all of it came from Young Sheldon, though, as Iain also starred in the movies The Glass Castle, I'm Not Here and shows like Big Little Lies.
Montana Jordan, who is already 20 years old, made most of his money as a teenager, so it is possible to call him a child star. During his 6 seasons on Young Sheldon, Montana earned a hefty net worth of $2 million, making him the second richest child star on the show.
Aside from the show and the movie The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter, Montana hasn't starred in anything else, so his life after Young Sheldon could prove to be much busier than ever. But could he ever surpass Iain's net worth?
Although Missy has become one of the most popular characters on the show in recent years, producers are apparently still reluctant to pay Raegan Revord the same money as her co-stars, so the young star's net worth is much more modest at $500-600 thousand.
Fans are hoping that the producers will see how important Raegan is to the success of the show and increase her salary for the upcoming seasons.
