Actor and comedian Joey Bragg starred as Joey Rooney in Disney's Liv and Maddie between 2013 and 2017 but he has since said that pretty much all of the money he made from the show is gone now.
Speaking on the Cash Cuties podcast, the former Disney Channel star said he'd actually said no to the House of Mouse when first offered the role as he wanted to concentrate on his comedy.

When he was 17 he moved to Los Angeles to film the show but 10 years later the earnings from being a Disney star are all gone and Bragg explained exactly where all that money went.
Noting that child actors do get paid but since they're underage the money goes to their parents, Bragg gave details on 15 percent of the funds going into a separate account just for him as part of California state law.
He said his parents 'didn't pay themselves anything' unlike the parents of some previous child actors who made certain legal protections necessary, and that on his 18th birthday the 15 percent of his earnings he was allowed to receive as a lump sum amounted to $70,000.
