celebrity kids

Disney sure takes care of its child stars -- the kid who plays Levi in Raven Symone's new show raked in more than $120k for the 1st season alone, and he's in position for even more.

According to his minors contract, obtained by TMZ, Jason Maybaum hauled in $12,500 for the pilot of Disney Channel's "Raven's Home" -- a spin-off of "That's So Raven" -- and then earned an additional $9,000 for each Season 1 episode.

There are 13 episodes in the can -- which means this kid earned about $120,500. What's more, he's set to earn $9,450 per episode for a second season, $9,923 for a third, and $10,419 for a fourth.

Jason, who's only 10 years old, plays a major character in the show ... so the cash is well-deserved.

Shareef O'Neal isn't just a stud basketball player -- he's also got some reporting chops ... and he's got the inside scoop on LaMelo Ball.

Shaq's son was at the TDE Watts Christmas Charity Concert when he told us he spoke with LaMelo about his move to play pro ball in Lithuania ... and told us how the youngest Ball bro REALLY feels behind the scenes.

We also told Shareef about the NEW hoops league LaVar Ball is trying to launch -- and asked if he would ever consider joining up with his friends.

The short answer ... hell no.

Sofia Richie got down and dirty -- sexy dancing for boyfriend Scott Disick -- and it was all while her dad's music blasted in the background.

Disick shared the clip of a 19-year-old Richie in some skimpy Santa gear moving her hips and shaking her ass in his kitchen. It's a whole lotta awkward, considering the song she's gyrating to is Lionel's "All Night Long."

34-year-old Scott has been seemingly settled down since getting with Richie months ago ... looks like their recipe for fun is some one-on-one dance parties.

Blac Chyna ruined her future ... and she did it on purpose.

BC's showing off the new tattoo she got over the one she partially erased -- Future's name. In its place, she put her daughter Dream's name. That relationship should last longer than the one with the rapper.

The doting mom's now keeping both of her kids handy. King's name is on her other.

TMZ broke the story ... Future dug the tat when BC got it in 2015 barely a month into dating. She's since been with Rob Kardashian and others.

Unclear what took so long to wipe it off, but lesson finally learned?

"Life in Pieces" actress Ana Sophia Heger's stashing $70k in the bank and co-starring with James Brolin and Colin Hanks ... while most kids her age are just trying to color within the lines.

We got ahold of 4-year-old Ana's contract for the hit series -- filed in court because she's a minor -- and it's clear she's already a seasoned pro. She was guaranteed $10k an episode for 2 guest appearances playing Lark.

Kid must've killed it 'cause now she has 5 more episodes to her credit ... at that same rate. That's a whole lotta animal crackers!

Sophia also gets her own trailer complete with TV, DVD player, sofa, bathroom, microwave and more. Beats building a fort with pillows and blankets.

"Ant-Man" actress Abby Ryder Fortson's paycheck ain't shrinking like her superhero dad in the movie, because she's bringing home twice the dough for the sequel ... TMZ has learned.

We got a hold of her minor's contract for the 'Ant-Man' franchise and Abby -- who's only 9, mind you -- was guaranteed $140k if she gets a role in an "Ant-Man" sequel. That's more than twice the $67.5k she got for the first film.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp" hits theaters next July 2018. Might be too soon for buzz, but IF Abby makes it into a third flick, she'll haul in $215k.

Chris Brown could've done a puppy or kitten, but instead he went exotic for Royalty's early Christmas gift, and hooked her up with ... a brand new monkey!!!

Chris' daughter got cozy with her gift, cradling what looks like a baby capuchin monkey. Dad joked with Royalty that her new "baby" would get bigger than her -- which seems like maybe a good reason NOT to give her a monkey.

But for now, it is super cute ... especially when it's this tiny and in diapers.

Royalty seems stoked, but a lot of fans let Chris have it on social media -- pointing out the exotic pet is better off in the wild, instead of his home.

Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer split up over a year ago but you could never tell from this photo.

Tobey came out to support his estranged wife Thursday night at a launch party at the Sunset Tower hotel in WeHo for an event celebrating her jewelry collection. She's partnering with Jenna Dewan Tatum and profits from the line go directly to a charity -- Baby2Baby, which supplies diapers and other baby-related stuff to low income families.

Despite being separated, neither has filed for divorce.

Tobey and Jen frequently hang out but their 2 kids are always there ... not last night.

Unclear if there's a reconciliation, but there's definitely smoke.
