Instant Hit
After hitting it huge with Home Alone, you better hope he got himself a financial advisor! Considering the budget was $18 million, it’s amazing to know it grossed to a total of a whopping $476.7 million once it hit theaters! In addition, for his role in My Girl(1991), Macaulay became the first child actor to earn $1 million for one movie. Yeah, so we weren’t kidding about a financial advisor. Home Alone, out in 1992 grossed over $350 million and had a budget of $20 million. Of course with the fame came celebrity fans, but not without some scandal.

His father’s demands became obtrusive and burdensome and all of this was negatively affecting his parents’ relationship. For Macaulay’s career, the upcoming years would be immensely important to his growth as an actor. The question remained whether he could handle this all?
