Miley Cyrus has been a household name ever since her days as Hannah Montana, and even before that, thanks to her connection to Dolly Parton as her godmother. It’s clear that she’s still reigning as a pop culture icon, as evidenced by the success of her latest single “Flowers,” which has held the #1 spot on the Billboard Charts since its release in January 2023. The fact that even Diane Keaton is a fan proves just how much of a hit it is.
No need to fret, Diane (and everyone else). Miley fans can rejoice as more of her content will be available on streaming platforms soon. Endless Summer Vacation, her latest album, is set to be released on March 10. If you haven’t treated yourself with flowers or dancing yet, don’t worry, there’s still time. And if you’re eager for a sneak peek, Miley has been dropping hints about upcoming tracks on her Instagram.
With all this buzz surrounding Miley, it’s natural to be curious about her life, family, love life, and of course, her net worth (we’re all intrigued, let’s be real). Here’s the lowdown:
During her early acting days, Miley struck gold in more ways than one. Her role on Disney’s Hannah Montana as a young starlet brought in a hefty paycheck. The New York Post even dubbed her as one of TV’s “richest kids” back in 2010, estimating that she earned a whopping $15,000 per episode.
With a total of 98 episodes aired during Hannah Montana’s run, it’s safe to say that young Miley was stacking some serious cash. This success also opened doors to lucrative endorsement deals, concerts, and more. Although Miley might not be raking in a billion from TV alone, sources say her overall brand is valued at a billion dollars.
In total, Hannah Montana helped Miley accumulate a whopping $134 million before she turned 18, as reported by Forbes. This impressive figure doesn’t even factor in the revenue from her concerts or the successful Hannah Montana: The Movie, which brought in $155.5 million at the box office. It’s safe to assume that Miley received a hefty sum for her involvement in the film as well.
Apart from her dual identity as a pop sensation, the now 30-year-old artist also lent her voice to Disney’s Bolt and starred in The Last Song, which raked in $310 million and $89 million at the box office, respectively. Although the exact earnings for these projects remain undisclosed, it’s evident that Miley’s contributions were financially significant.
Despite initially gaining fame for portraying a disguised rock star on television, Miley transitioned into a successful career as a real-life musician, ultimately releasing an impressive total of seven studio albums and three live albums over the course of her musical journey. To put it simply, Miley has kept herself plenty busy over the years.
Miley made a significant amount of money from album sales, but her tours really brought in the big bucks. For instance, her Best Of Both Worlds Tour in 2007-2008 grossed over $54 million, while her Bangerz tour reportedly earned more than $62 million. Her upcoming album, Endless Summer Vacation, features 11 tracks divided into AM and PM parts with collaborations from artists like Brandi Carlisle and Sia, according to NME. It’s no surprise that she’ll likely embark on another tour soon, and I’m eagerly looking forward to it!
In addition to her music career, Miley also appeared as a coach on seasons 11 and 13 of The Voice, reportedly earning $13 million per season. She was also named to the Forbes ’30 Under 30′ list in 2022, recognizing her influence and impact. In an interview, Miley expressed her happiness in fulfilling various roles as long as she stays true to herself.
The magazine also mentioned that in May 2022, she secured a lucrative $40 million agreement with NBCUniversal to create three television specials. Her bank account is definitely looking healthier!
Apart from her impressive TV deal, Miley is also a proud owner of some high-end real estate. She recently purchased a stunning Mediterranean-style mansion in Malibu for a whopping $7.9 million. The mansion, featured in Architectural Digest, spans over 6,568 square feet and provides breathtaking views of the ocean, canyons, and mountains.
In addition to her Malibu home, Miley reportedly owns a $5.8 million mansion in Franklin, Tennessee, her hometown, and a $3.9 million property in Studio City, California, according to Architectural Digest.
Miley has also dabbled in some prominent sponsorship deals. While she may not be heavily involved in sponsorships, she has worked with notable brands such as appearing in Gucci’s Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum campaign and collaborating with Hims&Hers skincare, as noted by Forbes.
In 2021, the singer teamed up with the NFL for a TikTok Tailgate event, known for being incredibly profitable. She has a generous side too, as she is involved in various charitable endeavors.
Miley Cyrus is not only a successful singer but also a philanthropist. In 2014, she founded the Happy Hippie Foundation, which aims to support marginalized youth, the LGBTQ community, and others in need. Following the Woosley wildfire in 2018, she and her then-husband Liam Hemsworth donated $500,000 to relief efforts. Miley has expressed pride in the longevity of her foundation and has also contributed to various other charitable causes.
With a net worth of $160 million, Miley Cyrus may not be as wealthy as Taylor Swift, but she is certainly the highest earner in her own family. Despite her wealth, she remains humble and continues to release popular music that fans love.
Even with her wealth, Miley could easily afford a boatload of flowers, but fans can still enjoy her music while supporting her career.
