Lindsay Lohan

The Forbes’ list of young Hollywood’s top-earning stars brings to light the entertainment industry’s most wanted talent under the age of 21. Here are the celebrities who made the list. Nice figures to keep in mind when you’re scrounging under the couch for some spare change.

Rank 1: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - $40 million
These twenty-year-old twins top the list by earning a combined estimated income of $40 million last year. They earn most of their whopping income from their $1 billion retail empire, Dualstar, which sells tween merchandise. Talk about sister bliss!

Rank 2: Daniel Radcliffe - $13 million
Daniel, aged seventeen, earns an estimated $13 million, much thanks to his role as Harry Potter. His salary for portraying this character is said to have increased fifty-fold since The Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001. And he’s rumoured to be benefiting from merchandising revenues off the next movie. Sounds like magic.

Rank 3: Lindsay Lohan - $6 million
Lindsay has done well for herself despite hauling her behind to rehab and skimping on her career to kick her alcohol habit. She still pulled in $6 million in 2006. Not too shabby, Linds.

Rank 4: Dakota Fanning - $4 million
It’s no wonder Dakota was Hollywood’s most sought-after child actress – with her talent, she’s already starred in eighteen movies! Her estimated earnings come in at $4 million. And she’s only thirteen.

Rank 5: Amanda Bynes - $2.5 million
It might surprise you to see her on the Forbes list. But Amanda is a star in her own right. She starred in the sitcom series What I Like About You and has been in movies such as She’s the Man (which grossed $34 million at domestic box offices). At the age of twenty, her estimated income is $2.5 million.

Rank 6: Hayden Panettiere - $2 million
Hayden, aged seventeen, starred as the rebellious teen in Raising Helen and struck gold in the unexpected NBC hit, Heroes. She’s also about to launch her debut album in May. Not bad for a seventeen year old. Her estimated earnings are $2 million.

Rank 7: Vanessa Anne Hudgens - $2 million
Vanessa made her acting debut in 2003 in the movies Thirteen and Thunderbirds. But what made her mark in Hollywood was her appearance in the Disney made-for-TV film, High School Musical. And the eighteen year old is currently filming the sequel. Her estimated income is also $2 million.

Rank 8: Abigail Breslin - $1.5 million
She’s only ten years old but Abigail has been acting since the age of five. She featured in the flick Raising Helen and overshadowed her castmates in last year’s Little Miss Sunshine. She earned an estimate of $1.5 million in 2006. Did I mention she’s ten?

Rank 9: Tyler James Williams - $1.2 million
You gotta love Tyler in the sitcom Everybody Hates Chris. But did you know that he was a regular on Sesame Street and Little Bill? At the age of fourteen, his estimated earnings are $1.2 million.

Rank 10: Joanna ‘Jo-Jo’ Levesque - $1 million
At sixteen, Jo-Jo is a singer, songwriter and actress. She’s had memorable radio hits with songs such as ‘Too Little Too Late’ and ‘Get Out.’ She’s also making her mark on the big screen. Last year she co-starred in Aquamarine and RV. She earns an estimate of $1 million.
