The Wealth of Mia Talerico

How rich is Mia Talerico? As of early-2019, sources inform us of a net worth that is already over $2 million, earned through a successful career in the acting industry. While she appeared for the entire run of the Disney show, time will tell if she will continue to pursue acting projects as she grows up, but ff she does, then it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Good Luck Charlie

Mia was only 11 months old when series creators Phil Baker and Drew Vaupen envisioned a show which would eventually be called “Good Luck Charlie”. They wanted a program that would appeal to entire families and not just children. They wanted to show a family as they adjust to the birth of their fourth and fifth child.

They had a challenge in looking for the child, as they initially wanted to cast identical twins for the role. This was so that they could bypass the risk of violating child labor laws and that they would always have one child present so filming could continue. However, they couldn’t find twins, and instead it was Mia who caught their attention. They found her charming and decided that she would be cast as the titular character of the show, which would eventually run from 2010 to 2014 and a total of 97 episodes.

Success of Good Luck Charlie

“Good Luck Charlie” received a lot of positive reviews, and the show runners sticking to their strength was effective, despite the use of typical sitcom characters, and was noted for being appealing to both kids and adults. It became the highest rated series premiere for a Disney Channel original Series since “The Suite Life on Deck”, and subsequently won numerous awards including a Young Artist Award, Kids Choice Awards, and British Academy Children’s Awards. The show was broadcast worldwide, and an Indian adaptation of the show was also made, entitled “Best of Luck Nikki”.

The show operated on a weekly schedule and was taped at the Los Angeles Center Studios, usually with a live audience except for big scenes that were too hard to handle with an audience. They carefully crafted the central family for broad appeal, not wanting to portray a rich family due to a troubled economy, instead opting for a middle class one. Talerico’s character is generally portrayed as being happy though can be mischievous at times. Most of their adventures revolve around her, and the show slowly showcases the development of her personality.
