JOSEPH AND MICHAEL MAYER | 67

The very adorable and famous identical twin brothers will always be remembered for their portrayal of Little Ricky in the I Love Lucy Show as toddlers. They both earned $150 per week and had a 12-week contract with the show. Unfortunately, both Joseph and Michael had different plans regarding their careers. Joseph retired from acting to delve into missionary work and is currently working as an ICT at Portland General Electric.

On the other hand, Michael continued his acting career for a short while, before he decided to pursue a teaching career. Currently, both are retired from performing, with Michael working as a special education teacher. In terms of retirement funds, Joseph must have some excellent money management skills since he managed to retire earlier. Michael, on the other hand, would have a substantial fortune to show for his extended stay in the acting scene. Health insurance is also paramount for both at this stage in their lives.
