Macaulay Culkin, an American actor, is thought to be worth $15 million. Macaulay Culkin, the most popular young performer since Shirley Temple, had his theatrical debut at the age of four in New York. Young Culkin received extensive training for his role, including time spent at Balanchine’s School of the American Ballet. He has appeared in other minor roles in movies, but his biggest performance came as John Candy’s inquisitive nephew in Uncle Buck (1989).
Following an uncredited cameo in Jacob’s Ladder (1990) and before making an appearance in a Michael Jackson video, Culkin was chosen to play the teenaged lead in Home Alone, the highest-grossing movie of the year that combined violent humour and sentimental pathos in a Three Stooges-like manner. As a result, Culkin earned the most money as a child actor in history and was one of the few under-13 performers who could be relied upon to “open” a film. My Girl (1991) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) were the next two box office successes. At the time, the boy’s career was closely supervised by his father Christopher “Kit” Culkin, a former actor who also oversaw the careers of Culkin’s younger, equally attractive brothers. Hollywood gossip about the older Culkin’s behaviour on set started to circulate at the time.
