He may only be 9-years old, but little Randall from This Is Us is already making a heck of a lot more money than you or me. This kid is basically set for life and he has not even reached double digits yet.
According to TMZ, Lonnie Chavis has a day rate of $1,000. He is now in such high demand thanks to the hit NBC show that he makes in one day what most people make in a couple of weeks. This piece of information comes straight from Chavis’ contract for the Disney film Magic Camp, where it is stated he will receive $14,368 for 14 days of work. After the initial 14 days, he is guaranteed $3,563 a week should any additional shooting be requited.

Along with his This Is Us and Magic Camp gigs, the adorable little guy also landed a role on the Showtime series White Famous. TMZ reports that Chavis is getting paid $10,000 per episode for the show. Considering a series takes about 9 or 10 days to shoot, it looks like his day rate of $1,000 is in tack. Although Showtime ordered nine episodes for the show's first season, there is no guarantee the young actor will appear in all episodes, however. If he does though, he will be making some serious bank.
There is no doubt the This Is Us star Lonnie Chavis is one in demand kid. This summer it was revealed that all of the child actors on the NBC show were upgraded to series regulars, except Chavis who remains on recurring status. However, his status has nothing to do with his acting ability. He remains on recurring status because he is considered a series regular for White Famous. Fans should not worry though, the powers that be on This Is Us reassured viewers that his status will not affect his screen time.

Here is to hoping that someone in Chavis' camp is making sure that all the cash he is making is being put aside for when he is all grown up. There are too many cases of child stars that made tons of money only to have an adult waste it all.
