Austyn Johnson (born April 28, 2006, New York) is an American actress best remembered for lighting up the big top in The Greatest Showman (2017) as Caroline Barnum. That same year she held her own opposite Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in Steven Spielberg’s The Post, portraying Marina Bradlee. Television followed with her turn as young Nicole Fosse in FX’s Emmy-winning limited series Fosse/Verdon (2019), showcasing a poise and emotional range rare for a performer still in her teens.
A classically trained dancer, Johnson sharpened her stagecraft on Broadway in Matilda the Musical and The Nutcracker before crossing to film. Away from set she continues ballet and tap lessons, studies voice, and lends time to New York arts-education charities. Critics praise her grounded work ethic, already evident in Netflix’s Lost Girls (2020).
As of December 2025, Austyn Johnson is 19 years and 7 months old. Her estimated net worth is $100 thousand, and she is 5 feet 5 inches (166 cm or 1.66 m) tall.

Net worth 2025
$100 thousand
As of December 2025, it’s estimated that Austyn Johnson has a net worth of about $100 thousand. She has earned this from different sources.
Let’s break it down.
1. Her Movie Roles Bring in the Big Bucks (Relatively Speaking)
Austyn’s first major splash came in The Greatest Showman—a film that earned over $438 million at the box office. No, she didn’t make millions like Hugh Jackman. But for a child actor in a featured role, the paycheck was nothing to scoff at.
Here’s the ballpark:
-
The Greatest Showman (2017) – Likely earned $15,000 to $45,000
-
The Post (2017) – Supporting role in a Spielberg film? Estimate $8,000 to $20,000
-
Lost Girls (2020) – A Netflix drama with critical buzz: $15,000 to $25,000
-
The Girl Who Believes in Miracles (2021) – Lead role in a faith-based feature: $25,000 to $50,000
All told, Austyn’s film work probably brought in $70,000 to $140,000 over a handful of years. Not millionaire territory—but a very solid number for someone still in her teens.
2. Her TV Work Adds Some Pocket Change (and Street Cred)
On the small screen, Austyn appeared in Fosse/Verdon on FX, playing the younger version of Nicole Fosse. It wasn’t a long-running role, but for a limited series with Emmy wins, it helped boost her visibility.
Actors on shows like this can earn $5,000 to $10,000 per episode. Since Austyn was in just one episode, her take-home was probably at the lower end of that range.
3. Theater Roles: Less Cash, More Cred
Before Hollywood, Austyn was all about the stage. She was part of Matilda the Musical on Broadway and also danced in The Nutcracker. Now, Broadway doesn’t pay blockbuster money, especially for child performers—but it does build talent, confidence, and network.
She likely earned about $2,000 to $3,500 per month during stage runs. If you add it all up, her total Broadway earnings may hover around $10,000 to $20,000. Not huge, but a strong foundation.
4. Residuals: The Quiet Money That Keeps Trickling In
Here’s a secret a lot of folks forget—residuals. Every time The Greatest Showman gets streamed on Disney+, or Lost Girls plays on Netflix, Austyn might get a check. It’s not life-changing money every time, but it adds up.
-
Residuals from The Greatest Showman and The Post: maybe $1,000–$3,000 per year
-
Netflix residuals (which are structured differently): probably lower, but still something
Over several years, she may have earned $10,000 to $20,000 just from these residual streams.
5. Interviews, Public Appearances, and Philanthropy
While there’s no record of Austyn being signed to major endorsement deals, she’s done media interviews, press junkets, and charity work. Some of it may come with small honorariums or travel allowances, but it’s mostly about building her brand.
These appearances help set her up for future work—and possibly bigger commercial partnerships down the road.
Right now? That income is likely under $5,000, but the exposure is priceless.
