Who's the richest kid on TV? Not Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez. Give up?

angus-jones.jpgWho's the highest paid TV child actor?

Not Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato. Not even  newcomer Rico Rodriquez from "Modern Family."

It's someone whose name you might not even recognize: Angus T. Jones, the youngest star (or rather, the half) on "Two and a Half Men."

While superstar Miley Cyrus's franchise (concerts-CDs-clothing-movies ) is reportedly worth a billion, her "Hannah Montana" show only earned her around $15,000 per episode

But according to the New York Daily News, Angus earns $250,000 an episode. He started playing Jake Harper when he was only 10 in 2003.  He's now 16. Born in Austin, Texas,  he lives in LA with his folks and younger brother, Otto, 3.  He guest starred (as T.J) on "Hannah Montana" in 2010.

He would like to go to college and he isn't even  sure if he wants to continue acting after "Men" ends, which, if the network doesn't cough up for Charlie Sheen, it just may.

Disney is pretty cheap.

@Ryan
While it's true that Disney likes to keep costs under control, you are gullible. This story is dead wrong. Miley fans know she has always been paid about $100,000 per episode, and Selena Gomez makes about the same. The Miranda Cosgrove number may well be right as costs and salaries often rise.

everyone knows miley makes more money than every kid in the world
