13. Ariel Winter – $2.3 Million for the Latest Season of Modern Family (Age 17)
The next three on the list are the child stars of Modern Family. But aren’t there 5 Children on Modern Family? Sarah Hyland (at 24) is too old to be included even though she makes the same salary. All three stars will get a $20,000 raise per episode next year, which means they will be millionaires many times over and even higher on this list before reaching 20. This year all three earned $95,000 per episode (for over 24 episodes). Ariel started her career at 6 years old with a recurring role on the final season of the mega hit TV Series ER. Born in Virginia, she has Greek roots on her mother’s side and German roots on her father’s side. She is an avid singer who has a band with her best friend called Wicked Sweet. They’ve already recorded their first CD. Also, don’t make her angry as she has a purple belt in Tae Kwon Do.
12. Nolan Gould – $2.3 Million for the Latest Season of Modern Family (Age 16)
Nolan began acting and modelling at the age of 3, alongside his brother. Although he plays an academically challenged kid on the show, in real life he had an IQ of 150 at the age of 13 and is a member of Mensa. Even though Ariel Winter is older then Nolan, he is actually 2 grades ahead of her in school. It’s a bit ironic since the roles are reversed on the show. He has had side projects such as Friends with Benefits (2011) and The To Do List (2013). His family is of French, English and German ancestry.
