Net Worth: $160 Million
Miley Cyrus’ net worth of $160 million started to build in 2001 when a then nine-year-old Miley appeared in three episodes of her dad’s TV series Doc. Three years later, Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus debuted Hannah Montana to the world. The Disney TV series put Miley Cyrus on the map, and her transition to a serious actress and multi-genre singer that followed her series finale shot her to international stardom.
From singing and brand endorsements to movies and real estate, here’s how Miley Cyrus’ net worth has continued to grow over more than two decades in the business.
How Much Did Miley Cyrus Make From Hannan Montana?

By the fourth season, Miley’s salary had drastically increased to $250,000 per episode.
While the show was a massive success and shot Miley Cyrus to fame, there were only 98 episodes filmed over the entirety of the series.
The First season of Hannah Montana had 26 episodes which would have increased Miley Cyrus’ net worth by $390,000. Assuming she earned the same payday for season two, Miley would have added another $435,000 from 29 new episodes.
We don’t know when Miley’s pay increased to $250,000 per episode. If it were during the third season, she would have earned $7,250,000 for season three and another $7,250,000 for the final season. That would mean a total payday of $14,935,300. If Miley maintained her $15,000 per episode pay through season three, she would still have earned $8,510,000.
Hannah Montana not only provided Miley Cyrus with a per episode paycheck, but also additional money earned through the sales of two albums, plus a tour for the show that brought in $60 million, of which Miley would have been entitled to some type of multi-million-dollar payday.
