#10: Zach Ward

Movie: A Christmas Story

Amount: $1800 per year

Imagine being a kid actor in a holiday flick; talk about crossing your fingers and hoping for the best! Especially since those beloved Christmas movies always pop up on TV during the holidays. Have you heard about A Christmas Story? It’s practically a tradition to watch it every Christmas day, right?

Zack Ward, the guy who played the neighborhood bully in that movie, still gets paid for it, but it’s not that much… He spilled the beans and said he rakes in about $1,800 annually in residuals. Not too shabby for a gig he did back in his childhood days, huh? It’s like getting a little Christmas bonus every now and then!
