Culkin is believed to have made around $24 million between 1989 and 1994, and Celebrity Net Worth reports that this figure swells to $40 million when adjusted for inflation. However, it's not exactly clear how much of that he's been able to hold on to.

As many people know, Culkin's parents entered into a nasty custody battle when they separated in his teens. Culkin's trust fund was wrapped up in the proceedings. Many people think that he emancipated himself from his parents to protect his fortune, but Culkin explained to Esquire that the truth is not quite that dramatic.

"It's always misconstrued, that I 'emancipated' myself from my parents. I legally took my parents' names off of my trust fund and found an executor, someone who would look over my finances, just in case anyone wanted to stick their pinkie in the pie. But the next thing you know, the story was that I divorced my parents. I just thought I was doing it cleanly — taking my father's name off, taking my mom's name off, so my opinion is unbiased."
