JERRY MATHERS | 73

Jerry Mathers is one of the few stars who started young in the business. At the age of two, he already had a modeling career when he modeled for a department store advertisement and a commercial for PET Milk opposite vaudeville comedian Ed Wynn. He also ventured into the movie world, appearing in films like The Seven Little Foys and The Trouble with Harry.

However, he came to prominence when he joined the sitcom Leave it to Beaver, where he played Theodore ¡°Beaver¡± Cleaver, the younger son of the suburban couple, Ward and June Cleaver. But as he planned to get a degree, he opted for early retirement and continued high school, and fulfilled his dream to finish college at the University of California, Berkeley. Now at the age of 73 years old, and with a net worth of $3 million, we are pretty sure he is living a good life.
