#44: Frankie Muniz

TV Show: Malcolm in the Middle

Amount: $40 million per year

Let’s talk about the cast of Malcolm in the Middle, those faces you haven’t seen on your screens lately. While Bryan Cranston may have moved on to Breaking Bad fame, it’s rare to catch any of the other cast members in recent projects. But don’t jump to conclusions just yet; this isn’t a sign of a Hollywood downfall.

In fact, thanks to Malcolm in the Middle’s massive success, the entire main cast could kick back and call it a day if they wanted to. Take Frankie Muniz, for example. He decided to bow out of the acting scene at just 19 years old. With a net worth of over $40 million today, it’s clear that those Malcolm in the Middle reruns are keeping the cash flow steady, allowing him to kick back and savor the good life.
