Top-Earning Tinseltown Stars Under 21
These young Hollywood entertainers have not hit the legal drinking age yet but have already made some serious earnings. Forbes recently published this list of young Hollywood’s top earners, and it goes something like this:
#1
Young Hollywood’s richest mogul title goes to the one and only Olsen Twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. These 20-year-old powerhouse twins achieved instant stardom on the hit sitcom Full House, about two decades ago. In 2006, they ranked in a cool $40 million. However, the majority of the earnings did not come from any acting gigs, but rather from their empire of Olsen branded products (e.g., dolls, hair and make-up products, school supply products, etc.).
#2  In second came Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe, 17, with earnings of an estimated $13 million.Â
#3  In third came infamous Hollywood “It” girl, Lindsey Lohan. Despite her alcoholic partying ways and recent rehab stints, Lohan still managed to do well for herself. She rang in the end of last year with $8 million.
#4 Lovely Dakota Fanning, 13, came in fourth by banking $4 million. We all remember her breakout role as Sean Penn’s daughter in I Am Sam, 2001.  Because of this role, Fanning made history by becoming the youngest person, at age 8, to be nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award.Â
After an intense battle to the custody of Anna Nicole Smith’s body, a Florida appeals court finally made the decision to hand over the rights to 5-month-old baby Dannielynn’s court-appointed representative. Smith, 39, will be buried in the Bahamas next to her son, Daniel, who died at the young age of 20.  Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur, opposed the request for Anna to be buried in the Bahamas; she wanted the body to be buried in Texas, where Anna was born and raised.  However, Virgie has chosen not to make an appeal.
