Jake Lloyd, who played young Anakin Skywalker in ‘Star Wars’, disappeared from public life and struggled with mental health for years; he has a reported net worth of $25,000

Jake Lloyd was one of the most recognizable child actors of the late 1990s. His portrayal of a young Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace made him a celebrity overnight. But while the character would go on to become one of the franchise’s most consequential figures, Lloyd gradually stepped away from public life. Years later, his life took a different turn, marked by mental health struggles and a long period of treatment.
