Jonathan Taylor Thomas – Net Worth $16 Million

Another teen idol back in the early 90s was Jonathan Taylor Thomas. He rose to fame for voicing baby Simba in the Lion King movie. He also had a recurring role in the sitcom Home Improvement. While he was one of the most famous child actors and could have pursued a successful acting career as an adult, he gave up acting to get an academic degree instead. Did you know that he enrolled at Harvard to study philosophy and history? He eventually graduated from Columbia University in 2010.

He also developed a liking for writing scripts. His last guest appearance was on a show back in 2015. He is estimated to be worth $16 million today. In an interview in People magazine, Thomas said that although he left Hollywood at the height of his acting career, he doesn’t regret the decision. Thomas never took fame too seriously, and the time he spent acting was the best time of his life, but it didn’t define him.
