Although Macaulay Culkin was not the one in charge of his own finances when he was a youngster, he was paid handsomely for his abilities and is perhaps one of the most remarkable child stars of all time. The star was displeased that his parents had control over his millions of dollars in earnings.
He devoted his adolescent years to devising a plan to have their names scrubbed off his allegedly eye-watering $50 million trust fund.
Until his parents, Kit Culkin and Patricia Brentrup, were no longer involved, Culkin had no knowledge of this astounding statistic.
Film buffs will recall that the 43-year-old found superstardom in Hollywood thanks to his roles in Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which he starred in while still a schoolboy.
He earned a meager $100,000 for his groundbreaking performance in the first film, but a whopping $4.5 million for his appearance in the sequel.
