Young Hollywood’s top-earning celebrities

Britney, Paris and Nicole make the headlines, these stars just make money

If the tabloids are to be believed, Hollywood's young stars are in big trouble. Each day brings new tales — and the pictures to prove it — of junior VIPs, bereft of adult supervision, engaged in drinking, hard-partying, and the kind of sexual exploits typically reserved for pay-per-view.

But the salacious scenes of Britney, Paris and Nicole are overshadowing the other story in entertainment, that of the growing cadre of soon-to-be superstars, the most talented, aggressive and well-compensated group of showbiz kids in Hollywood history.

Forbes' Young Hollywood's Top-Earning Stars is an exclusive list of the entertainment industry's most sought-after talent under 21 years of age. While a few — most notably Lindsay Lohan — are well known, most of these names aren't. Commit them to memory — these are mega-careers in the making.
