Pretty sure this is the case. Don't know if he came from money, but I have to imagine the main cast of Malcolm has done VERY well for themselves with residuals. I mean, somehow 30 years later and with very few other acting credits he's got the money to pursue a Master's in Victorian Literature.

According to the internet, Erik Per Sullivan is worth about 5 million from his Malcolm earnings.

He's still fairly young. He can run through more than 5M in a lifetime, especially if all he wants to do is read Victorian literature. The rest of the cast of better-known actors, who also get MITM residuals, didn't leave the money on the table. Why would he?

Maybe he didn't want to be back in the public's eye, but this is worse. He's not getting paid. His name is all over the internet. And his choices are being ridiculed, except by those who are calling it admirable.

Apparently, his castmates think it's fantastic that at 34 he's still going to Harvard to master in Victorian literature. I have another word for it, which I previously used.

And Linwood Boomer has made over 60 M from Malcolm

Probably the richest cast member of "Little House on the Prairie", more so than the late Michael Landon.

Ironically, his TV wife, Melissa Sue Anderson's late husband created the TV show "The Equalizer" back in the 1980s, which led to the Denzel Washington movie series, and she is now worth about 7 to 10 M as a result

Who would have guessed ?

All this Malcolm in the Middle talk has gotten me thinking... what a great show ripe for a card set! Main cast aside, they had sooo many great guest stars. With the anniversary miniseries happening now, seems like a missed opportunity.

If all he wants to do is read Victorian literature, a nest egg of $5 M should make it easy. Put it all in an S&P 500 index fund, and it should (on average) keep up with inflation and throw off 4% a year ($200 k - a pretty good income) for the rest of his life.

You know what would make a good set? The Law & Order franchise. Think of all the guest stars they have had over the years.
