Child Labor: The Five (self-made) Richest Kids

Child Labor: The Ten (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.
