Child stars who then had a pretty successful brand built around them and now have a combined net worth of around a billion dollars.

    I'm sure the cost was high, they never had a normal childhood and were undoubtedly exposed to negligent and dangerous adults in the industry. But they'll never want for anything in their lives and neither will their families.

    I'm not sure if I should envy them or feel sorry for them.

    I don't envy them at all. They were also exposed to sickos on the internet in the early 2000s who created countdown clocks until they were 18 or publicly fantasized about them while they were underage. It was so gross. That's when we should have learned the internet was not the utopia we thought it would be.

    I'd rather be angry than poor in the US.
