Jaden Smith made $3 million from Karate Kid

Jaden Smith at the German premiere of Karate Kid in Berlin (7/19)

Jaden Smith made more money at 10 than I'll make in my entire lifetime. Kill self? From TMZ:
TMZ obtained Jaden's "KK" contract from June 2009 -- back when he was only 10 -- and according to the docs, his up-front fee was split into two installments ... one for $900,000 and one for $100,000.

But Jaden's back end deal was even more lucrative -- since the film topped $150 million in the domestic box office, the young actor locked down another $2 million bonus. But $3 million is the bare minimum -- based on several additional in-contract perks AND the astronomical success of the film, Jaden likely pulled in even more.
This kid's not even a teenager yet and he's already a millionaire? That lucky little bastard. Jaden must thank God every night that he was born into a family whose Hollywood influence allowed him to make a ton of money. If he's not grateful for Will and Jada's industry connections, there can only be one reason why: he's a delusional spoiled little brat that thinks he's earned everything he's got changing his last name to Paltrow.

    Pisses me off that people make so much after doing so little.

    Kid doesn't even deserve his allowance prior to becoming famous, I would guess.

    Did anyone actually see that remake? What a steaming pile of excrement - that kid's acting makes Canoe Reeves' seem like Brando. The only thing worse is that hair whipping back song by the other no-talent.

    The whole Smith clan needs to be sent into space for a long long time to look for L. Ron Hubbard.
