Iain Armitage is now the richest child actor in the world, and it’s all down to Young Sheldon

Despite Young Sheldon having finally come to an emotional end, actor Iain Armitage certainly did very well out starring as the main role on the show as he is now the richest child actor in the world. Genuinely, his net worth is making me feel as though I’m about to pass out.

Young Sheldon actor Iain Armitage has a whopping net worth of over $6 million which partly  comes from the absolutely whopping amount he was paid per episode.

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.

However, Iain Armitage wasn’t the richest actor as a whole out of the cast of Young Sheldon, with Annie Potts and Jim Parsons beating him out for the top spot.

Annie Potts has a whopping net worth of $8 million but Jim Parsons shadows them all with his $160 million fortune, amassed from earning more than $1 million per episode by the end of The Big Bang Theory.
