Miranda Cosgrove, a teen girl who has been acting for quite some time makes a very nice per episode salary on her hit show “iCarly” – $180,000. That is one of the largest per episode salaries for a teenager with the only larger salary reported by Angus T. Jones of ‘2 and 1/2 men’ fame.
Most people have a misconception that all kids on television make that much money. Those claims are un-true. Most of the kids you see on TV make nowhere near what Cosgrove and Jones make. Those 2 are kind of the exception and not the rule when it comes to child star salaries.
The NY Post did an article last year about how much some of these Nickelodeon and Disney stars actually made from their TV pay.
