Miley Cyrus hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and her cardigan, and was all like, "Welcome to the land of fame, excess, whoa, am I gonna fit in?" But then she came in like a wrecking ball, made millions of dollars, and was even married to a Hemsworth brother. So, ya know. It all worked out!

And while we could spend several hours/days/years talking to you about Miley and Liam's 'ship, or, alternatively, Miley's most iconic moments, we're here to talk about her dollars. Because she has a lot of 'em, as in, her net worth is bonkers.

First, Let's Discuss Hannah Montana and her acting career

Miley starred in Disney's Hannah Montana for five years, and you're probably assuming she made major coin. On the one hand, sure, she got merchandising deals and made a reported $15,000 an episode per Celebrity Net Worth—which is about $450,000 per season, or, in layman's terms, a sh*t-ton of money. But on the other hand, Miley says she was actually one of the most underpaid cast members on the show.

"I did not grow up spoiled in any way. I just wanted to be on TV," she told Elle in 2016. "I mean, at one point—they’ll probably kill me for saying it—I was probably the least paid person on my cast because I didn’t know any better. I was just like, 'I can be on Disney! Yeah, I want to do it!' My name was Miley on my show, but I didn’t own my name—we didn’t think about that," which, eek!

P.S. Let's not forget that Miley also starred in several (!!) movies, including Hannah Montana: The Movie, which grossed $155.5 million at the box office. Another one of her flicks, The Last Song, grossed over $89 million at the box office—and she def took home a big piece of that pie.

Miley's Music Is By Far Her Biggest Money-Maker

According to the RIAA, Miley has earned over $53 million in digital singles (the downloads of individual songs vs. entire albums). And, I mean, the song "Party in the USA" is responsible for $12 million of that! All by itself! So let's listen to it!

Plus, her latest (Grammy nominated!) album Endless Summer Vacation—which includes her megahit "Flowers"—debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with 103,000 units sold. Translation: she likely made $$$ from that album, as well as her other iconic albums like Bangerz, Can't Be Tamed, and Plastic Hearts.

She's Also Made Bank on Tour

I think we can all agree that Miley Cyrus' tours de 👏 liv 👏 er 👏. And she likely makes *tons* of money from doing them. Like, honestly, this GIF says it all:

Her first tour, aka the Best Of Both Worlds Tour, made more than $54 million according to Billboard. All of Miley's many tours have earned her major money, but her Bangerz tour was a standout, earning $62.9 million. In 2023, she revealed she "didn't make a dime" from the tour because most of the $$$ went toward the ~high-quality ~ production. "The Bangerz Tour was an investment in myself," Miley said during her "Used to Be Young" TikTok series. "A lot of these ideas were so outlandish that no one really wanted to support me in making these pieces. And so I had big puppets, oversized beds, I came out of my own face on my tongue."

That being said! Her 2009 Wonder World tour, which is another *chef's kiss* payday project, earned her $67 million. Of course, Miley doesn't take home all that money, but she certainly pockets a significant chunk of it—and don't forget that merch sales yield a ton of extra cash.

She Made SO MUCH on The Voice

When she wasn't busy making music and grinding on foam fingers, Miley moonlit as a judge on The Voice from seasons 11 to 13, which was a pretty sweet side hustle considering she reportedly earned around $13 million per season *and* got to hang with Alicia Keys.

Her Real Estate Portfolio Is Pretty Impressive

The singer has owned multiple (!!) seriously impressive properties throughout her life, including a $4 million home in the California hills she purchased in 2011 (I mean, it was so OMG-worthy that it *also* happened to be a "House of the Day" for Business Insider lol.) And in 2017, the singer purchased a 30-acre ranch in Nashville, Tennessee for $5.8 million that she wound up selling in September 2022 for $14.5 million, which means she made a cool *opens calculator app* $8.7 million 🤯🤯🤯. Check it out here to be ~dazzled~:

Plus, in 2015 Miley bought a Hidden Hills equestrian ranch that she ultimately sold in 2018 for the exact same price. She then used that $$$ to buy a new 7,000 square-foot home in the same neighborhood in July 2020 for $5 million that she then said goodbye to in July 2021 for $7.2 million. How-ev-er!! That deal ended up making her $2.2 million richer in profits per Celebrity Net Worth. It's giving lots of moolah to go around, people!

She’s Also an Iconic Host

Miley hosted New Year’s Eve specials in 2021 and 2022, and, yes, I tuned in both years. In 2021, it was alongside Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson in Miami, Florida, and the singer rang in 2023 alongside her godmother and music legend Dolly Parton. Of her inaugural year as a host, Miley said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, "I wanted to do something that’s traditional, but I knew that we would do it in a way that is unique and unconventional, and we did that by starting with going to Miami. [Pete will] be funny, and I’ll be naked, and together we’ve got a show." See? I-con-ic!

Unclear how much $$$ she took home from the gig, but it was def enough to keep her coming back another year!

So, What's Miley Cyrus' Net Worth in 2023?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Miley's net worth is a staggering $160 million. Basically, she can't stop/won't stop making money. Good for her, now please excuse me while I reevaluate all my life choices.
