The cast of Young Sheldon has been up to a lot since the show ended one year ago, but Iain Armitage in particular must be enjoying his newfound status as the richest child actor in the entire world.

Despite being one of the youngest cast members on the show, Iain already made $30,000 per episode during season one of Young Sheldon, which increased to $32,500 by season three.

The success of the show meant his paycheck only grew as well, with the actor getting a whopping $50,000 per episode in seasons four and five, which presumably rose again during the last season.

So, what is Iain Armitage actually worth, that means the Young Sheldon star has become the richest child actor in the world?

In total, it’s estimated he has a whopping net worth of over $6 million, which isn’t bad at all for a 16-year-old!

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.
