If you remove the last pair of () in line 12 and if line 12 is in a method where the actor is in the world (for example the act method), then it would work. However, the better way is to use a getter method and make the money variable in world private. 
private int money = 300;

public int getMoney()
{
    return money;
}
int myWorldMoney = ((MyWorld) getWorld()).getMoney();
This version is still only working when the object is in the world. (So for example not in the constructor of the actor class.)
