Abigail Breslin’s ‘big’ raise

Some parents know how to bring up a child actor. And Abigail Breslin’s are among them. Despite taking home about $2 million per movie, the teen actress gets about $13 per week to play with, a dollar increase.

The “My Sister’s Keeper” star, who’s been acting since age five, ranked eighth in Forbes magazine’s Young Hollywood’s Top-Earning Stars list in 2007 after pulling in $1.5 million in 2006.

And, like any kid her age, she earns her money doing chores, rather than just on the set.

“I get $13 (a week) now, because I’m 13. My chores have gotten a little heavier. My brother used to always feed the cat and now I feed the cat, which isn’t a big deal, but it kind of is, because my cat eats tons. It’s like an all-day long cycle,” she told PEOPLE.

See, this is how to avoid felonies/drugs/reality TV. Good call, Breslin family!
