There are a lot of downsides to being a working child actor. For starters, there are the long hours, not being able to hang out with friends, and dealing with a large amount of responsibility at a young age. But with these drawbacks come immense benefits such as the ability to start earning big money at a very young age. At 19, Finn Wolfhard was already a multi-millionaire and had been for a couple of years. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actor was estimated to have $4 million to his name, as of 2022.
While exact figures on his income are unknown, it's safe to say that he's likely been generating the majority of that money from his acting career. That's hardly a surprise given his huge profile and the massive budgets of the movies he's starred in. Still, it seems likely that the bulk of his income stems from his "Stranger Things" role.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wolfhard and his fellow child actors were making something in the region of $20,000 per episode for Season 1 and Season 2 of the show. Once the show took off, he and the rest of the young cast enjoyed a reported $60,000 bonus and a significant pay rise, with Wolfhard thought to be pocketing $250,000 per episode by Season 3. As of 2022, it was unknown if he enjoyed yet another pay rise for Season 4 and Season 5 of the show. Either way, his bank account is likely sitting pretty.
