Some people manage to achieve great popularity in their youth. A one-time fee for young stars may even exceed the monthly earnings of their senior colleagues. Some of them managed to earn their first million even before they came of age.
One of the richest young actors according to the Sunday Times was Daniel Radcliffe, who played the role of Harry Potter. In 2011 alone, the actor was able to earn 54 million pounds. Radcliffe was born in 1989, and at the age of 11 he began acting in films about Harry Potter, becoming one of the youngest and most popular actors. His peer Emma Watson, who played the role of Hermione, was also able to earn a considerable amount. However, her income for 2011 amounted to a little more than $ 26 million, which is almost 2 times less than the income of her Potterian colleague.
Another young but already wealthy actor was Robert Pattinson, who starred in the movie Twilight. In just one year, he was able to earn 40 million pounds. He is inferior to Daniel Radcliffe both in income and in age and experience: Pattinson is 3 years older than his colleague, and his acting career began only in 2004.
Young singers are also rapidly gaining popularity. Singer Miley Cyrus was born in 1992, and when she turned 18, she was already on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list. Participation in the TV series "Hannah Montana" and the performance of songs by 2012 brought Miley more than $ 120 million, thanks to which the girl became one of the richest and youngest celebrities.
In 2012, the 23-year-old beauty Adele was the richest young female singer in Great Britain according to the Sunday Times magazine. In 2011, she managed to earn about 6 million pounds, and in 2012 - more than 20 million.
At one time, Selena Gomez was recognized as the richest young star. Even before reaching 19 years old, the girl managed to earn her first 4 million dollars for participation in films and TV shows. Hillary Duff is 5 years older than Selena, but her income is significantly higher. Having starred in several films, released three albums and earned more than $ 25 million, she became one of the richest celebrities under the age of 30.
