[Home Alone] What became of Kevin McCallister?

We know what he did as a kid, but how did he turn out now that it's been twenty-ish years? What's he been up to? What does he do for a living? Is he even okay?

Kevin indeed got some national fame for his actions, but not directly because of what happened. While in prison, Harry and Marv passed the time by writing memoirs of their time facing a sadistic young boy and his home made traps. The day they were released, they sent the (poorly written) manuscript to publishers and miraculously got a publishing deal! Not only that, their story became a national, and then worldwide, bestseller! They became overnight celebrities and toured all the late night talk shows, had newspaper articles, even a few early internet websites devoted to them. Of course, they were never all that smart and as soon as their popularity faded, they lost literally every cent they made from their deals and quickly went back to petty crime. 

Kevin was at the same time praised and vilified by the public. Some people saw him as an ingenious hero who saved the day twice while others saw him as a sadistic torturer, who should have just called the police and hid somewhere, instead of inflicting tremendous bodily harm on two idiots. As Harry and Marv rose in fame, Kevin got attention as well. He was a teenager by the time the Bandits became icons, so he had a hard time dealing with the stresses of growing up and being a public figure. He got some money doing press tours and trying to tell his side of the story, but Harry and Marv's tale was just too entertaining for anyone to really care about Kevin's perspective. 

As an adult, Kevin was hired by a home security firm as a spokesman and commercial personality. The early commercials had skits that reenacted his childhood exploits, but as time went on, the commercials became more somber and professional. (Just a quick dramatization if a break-in, then he gives the speech on why his company is the best) This kept him financially stable as he lived his life. 

Eventually, people forgot exactly why he was on the commercials for home security devices, but he was so ingrained as the spokesman that, in the one time they tried to replace him, their stock plummeted.
