Last, but certainly not least, singer, dancer, and actor Justin Timberlake is worth an estimated $230 million!

He got his start on The Mickey Mouse Club and went on to be a part of the boy band *NSYNC. Later, he launched a successful solo career.

Let’s give some love to the most popular Originals:

Annette Funicello is perhaps the most iconic original club member! She was 12 when she began starring in these Mickey Mouse Club episodes, which she followed up with a career in movies and serials.

Some of those you may remember are The Shaggy Dog and Babes in Toyland! After those, she went on to co-star in the Beach Party series with Frankie Avalon!

Mickey Rooney Jr. and Tim Rooney

Well one of these names is known in most households, Mickey (what a coincidence!). The two sons of legendary actor, Mickey Rooney, Mickey Jr. would go on to appear in films just like dad.

You may remember him in Honeysuckle Rose and Hot Rods to Hell! Pictured below is Tim, who co-starred in the Television Show, Mickey alongside his pop.

Dennis Day

One of the original cast members as well, he didn’t go on acting after his Mickey Mouse Club days. So why is he one of the more memorable cast members?

Well the answer is a strange and dire one. We have also covered that Day disappeared in July of 2018, and was found several months later in the dessert. It was a murder mystery of sorts, with his roommate being charged with his death in 2019. A sad ending to a beautiful and talented boy that we will always remember. Check out our full story here.
