As one of the most talked-about figures, Edward Furlong has built a significant fortune. Our team analyzed the latest data to provide a clear picture of their income.

What Is Edward Furlong's Net Worth?

Prior to being offered the role, Furlong hadn't considered acting as a career, and it complicated his already tumultuous home life. After she separated from his stepfather, Furlong's mother let him live with her sister and brother-in-law. They were awarded guardianship in 1991 and initially served as his managers. Because he was a minor, Edward had a court-appointed attorney to help protect his finances. While he was working on "Terminator 2: Judgement Day," his mother and aunt were engaged in a bitter custody dispute. After the film's release, they were still his legal guardians and maintained that they were not receiving enough of Furlong's money to support the lifestyle of a star. Their financial disputes with his attorney continued until his mother finally regained custody in 1994.

Edward Furlong's salary for "Terminator 2" was $75,000. After adjusting for inflation, that's the same as around $150,000 in today's dollars.

At the same time, a woman named Jacqueline Louise Domac was hired as Edward's stand-in on sets and tutor for moments when he was not acting. A year after "Terminator 2" was released, it was revealed that Furlong – who was 13 at the time – had begun a sexual relationship with Domac, who was 26. They even went so far as to move in together. His uncle attempted to have her prosecuted for statutory rape but was unsuccessful. Domac sued Furlong for domestic abuse in 1999.

It was, without a doubt, an absolutely life-changing amount of money for Edward and his family. Unfortunately, more money brought more troubles to an already troubled home life. On the day he was cast in "T2," Furlong was living with his mother's sister and their half-brother, who he considered his uncle. Edward's mother never publicly revealed the identity of Edward's father, and a year before Furlong was cast in "T2," she separated from a different man. As "T2" was being filmed, Edward's mother, sister, and uncle became locked in a bitter custody battle, with both sides accusing each other of attempting to control the young actor solely for his growing bank account. During those early acting years, the aunt and uncle served as Edward's guardians on set, earning $250 per day to accompany him where he went. They also controlled how money was spent and would later be accused of overspending to improve their own lifestyle rather than take care of Edward's needs. The uncle would later claim that he went into debt to the tune of $36,000 attempting to keep up with the fast lifestyle that Furlong's newfound fame required. For example, he claimed the family incurred a multi-thousand-dollar phone bill in a short period to cover many phone calls to Japan that were suddenly required after Edward had become a pop star in the country.
