Two and a Half Men Kid Star Compensated Nicely

Angus T. Jones, the kid star of Two and a Half Men” just signed a major contract with the show. He will now receive $300,000 every episode.
Jones plays Jake Harper, the nephew of Charlie Sheen on the show. In addition to the $300,000 he will be paid for the 26 episodes he is guaranteed to be in, he will get a signing bonus worth $500,000. This turns out to be a cool $7.8 million. Man, talk about a sweet deal!
Even though Jones is scheduled for 26 episodes, it appears that Two and Half Men will shoot at least 48 episodes, which would effectively double Jone’s payday.
If you think this is a lot of money, consider the fact that Charlie Sheen makes a whopping $2 million for episode. Over two seasons or 48 episodes, he will make $96 million dollars. Not bad at all!!
