The absolutely whopping amount the Young Sheldon cast got paid per episode

There’s no doubt the cast of Young Sheldon are insanely talented, but clearly the producers of the show thought they were good enough to be paid five to six figures per episode!

Whilst the earnings of the child stars such as Iain Armitage has to be capped because of regulations, for actors like Lance Barber who plays George it seems the sky was the limit. Let’s find out  how much every cast member got paid per episode and who made the most money overall. After all, their insanely high net worths have had to have come from somewhere!

Despite being one of the youngest cast members on the show, Iain Amitage made an absolute fortune whilst he was on the show. In the first season he made $30,000 per episode, which increased to $32,500 by the time season three rolled around.

In season four and five he earned $50,000 per episode and presumably this would have risen again for seasons  five and six,  meaning he could have ended the show making upwards of $60,000 per episode. Not bad at all for a 15 year old.
