From the late 80s through the early 90s, Macaulay Culkin was the biggest child star in the world, appearing in a series of films that made him pack up the money to a fairly substantial Macaulay Culkin net worth - including highly publicized legal problems with his parents.
In the mid 90s, Culkin basically disappeared from the limelight as he focused on being an everyday kid, ultimately retiring from acting at age 14, though Macaulay Culkin's net worth kept growing from past successful movies, most notably "Home Alone," which is now turning 25 years of age.
The film, which hit theaters in 1990 to a lot of box office love, skyrocketed Culkin's career and began a fast ascension of Macaulay Culkin's net worth, who at the height of his fame during the 90s was named the most famous child star since the most iconic one of all, Shirley Temple.
Some of the most iconic roles that made Macaulay Culkin's net worth ascend to its high sums of today were "My Girl" (which starred Anna Chlumsky, who's now on HBO's "Veep") and the live-action version of 80s cartoon "Richie Rich," where he played the title role.
According to The Daily Mail, even though Culkin returned to acting in 2000, the star has remained fairly inactive, understandably enough, as Macaulay Culkin's net worth from his child actor days could easily allow him to live a work-free existence for the rest of his days, with millions in his bank account since he was 12.
In his late teens, he entered a bitter dispute with his parents over the management of the money he'd made in the film industry, in a few years that even ended up in an underage marriage to Rachel Miner, before embarking on a longterm relationship with Mila Kunis that ended amicably.
Currently, as the Culkin has his own parody band, The Pizza Underground, Celebrity Net Worth lists Macaulay Culkin's net worth at $15 million.
