Miley Cyrus Net Worth 2026: The $160M Disney-to-Pop Fortune

Miley Cyrus has an estimated net worth of $160 million as of November 2026, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Parade, reporting on the same figure in November 2026, agrees with the $160 million estimate, and several other net-worth trackers land on the same number. One outlier, LeaderBiography, puts her higher, at $180–220 million — but the weight of published reporting sits at $160 million, and that is the figure this article anchors on.

That number is an outside estimate, not a look at a private bank account. Nobody outside her own team knows the exact balance. What the public record does show, though, is a twenty-year career that has paid her in almost every way the entertainment business can pay someone: a Disney television salary, nine-figure tour grosses, a record-breaking single, two coaching stints on The Voice, luxury brand deals, and a string of property sales that alone banked millions in profit. This article works through each of those streams, with the numbers tied to the outlets that reported them, and explains why the fortune looks the way it does in 2026 — a year in which she picked up a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, marked twenty years of Hannah Montana, got engaged, and scored her first Billboard 200 No. 1 album in thirteen years.

Miley Cyrus at a Glance

From Franklin to Hannah Montana: Early Life and the Disney Breakthrough

Miley Cyrus was born Destiny Hope Cyrus on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee. Her parents gave her the name because they believed she was destined for good things, and the nickname “Smiley” — later shortened to Miley — stuck because she smiled so much as a child. She grew up in a show-business household. Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, was a country star whose 1992 single “Achy Breaky Heart” had made him a household name, and her godmother was Dolly Parton, one of the most respected figures in American music. She was raised on a farm outside Nashville, around horses, music and the touring life, and she has said in interviews that the farm shaped the work ethic she still leans on.

Her first screen appearance came in 2003, in a small role on her father’s television series Doc. She also appeared as a young Ruthie in Tim Burton’s film Big Fish the same year. But the audition that changed her life was for a new Disney Channel series about a teenager living a double life as an ordinary schoolgirl by day and a pop star by night. Cyrus was eleven when she first auditioned for Hannah Montana and was initially considered too small and too young for the part. Disney kept her in mind, and when she auditioned again at thirteen, the role was hers.

Hannah Montana premiered on March 24, 2006. It ran for four seasons and 98 episodes, ending in 2011, and it turned Cyrus into one of the most famous teenagers on the planet. The show’s premise — Miley Stewart, a normal girl who is secretly the pop star Hannah Montana — blurred into real life in a way that suited Disney’s merchandising machine perfectly. Albums released under the Hannah Montana name sold millions, concert tickets sold out in minutes, and the franchise became a billion-dollar property. The Guardian reported that Hannah Montana merchandise alone generated $1 billion in sales in 2008.

That success, however, came with a pay structure that Cyrus herself has since described as lopsided. In a 2016 interview with Elle, she said she was “probably the least paid person in the Hannah Montana cast because I didn’t know any better.” It is a line that has followed the show’s money story ever since, and it sets up the central tension of her early fortune: the franchise made an enormous amount of money, but the star at the center of it was paid a child actor’s television wage.

The Disney Years: What Hannah Montana Actually Paid

The best-documented figure from the Hannah Montana years is Cyrus’s per-episode salary. The New York Post reported that she earned $15,000 per episode, a figure Parade also cites in its 2026 net-worth reporting. Across 98 episodes, that works out to $1.47 million if she never received a raise — Parade’s own math, offered with the caveat that a raise is likely but unconfirmed. Other outlets tell a different story about the later seasons. BBN Times reports her pay rose to $25,000 per episode by the final season, while TheThings cites reports of $250,000 per episode in season four. Those accounts cannot all be right, and none of them comes from a contract or a filing, so the honest range for her total Hannah Montana television pay runs from about $1.5 million on the low, documented end to something several times higher if the late-season raise reports are accurate.

Whatever the exact television salary was, the show paid her in other ways. The concert film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert turned her first tour into a box-office event, and Hannah Montana: The Movie grossed $155 million worldwide on a $30 million budget in 2009, according to Parade. She also recorded four Hannah Montana soundtrack albums and released her own debut album, Meet Miley Cyrus, in 2007, followed by Breakout in 2008. Both sold well, and both established that she could sell records under her own name, not just under the character’s.

The Disney years also gave her a film career. She voiced Bolt’s owner Penny in Disney’s animated Bolt (2008), starred in The Last Song (2010), and appeared in LOL (2012) and So Undercover (2012) as she tried to move beyond the Disney image. None of those films matched the Hannah Montana box office, but they kept her working and visible through the transition years, when many child stars fade.

Reinvention and the Bangerz Era

The break from Disney was deliberate, public and, for a time, genuinely risky. In 2013, Cyrus signed with RCA Records and released Bangerz, an album that traded the teen-pop sound for hip-hop-influenced pop built with producers Mike Will Made It and Pharrell Williams. The lead single, “We Can’t Stop,” and the ballad “Wrecking Ball” both became hits, and “Wrecking Ball” gave her her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Bangerz debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — her first chart-topping album.

The reinvention peaked, for better or worse, at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, where her performance with Robin Thicke became one of the most talked-about moments in the show’s history. The controversy dominated coverage for weeks, and it also completed the break with her Disney image in a way no press release could. She hosted the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, released the free experimental album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz with the Flaming Lips the same year, and then steadied the sound with Younger Now (2017), a country-leaning record that nodded back to her Nashville roots.

Commercially, the Bangerz era was her most lucrative touring period to that point. The Bangerz Tour, which ran through 2014, grossed more than $62 million, according to Parade. But the tour’s finances carry a twist that Cyrus herself supplied. In a 2023 TikTok series reflecting on her career, she said she personally “didn’t make a dime” on the Bangerz Tour despite the sold-out dates — a claim that speaks to how much of a big tour’s gross is swallowed by production, staging, crew, travel and the label’s recoupment of earlier costs. A $62 million gross is not a $62 million payday, and her own account is a useful corrective to anyone reading tour grosses as personal income.

Plastic Hearts arrived in 2020, a rock-influenced album featuring Billy Idol, Joan Jett and Dua Lipa that critics praised as her most focused record in years. It did not produce a hit on the scale of “Wrecking Ball,” but it kept her catalog growing and her live draw intact, and it set up the run that would define the next phase of her career.

Flowers, Grammys and the Endless Summer Vacation Comeback

“Flowers” changed the arithmetic of Miley Cyrus’s career. Released in January 2023 as the lead single from Endless Summer Vacation, the self-love anthem became the best-selling global single of 2023, earning 2.7 billion subscription stream equivalents worldwide according to the IFPI, and it broke Spotify’s record for streams in a single week. It was the biggest hit of her career by a wide margin, and it arrived at a moment when streaming — not album sales or ticket sales — had become the steadiest income engine in pop music.

The song’s success finally brought her the industry’s top honors. At the 66th Grammy Awards on February 4, 2024, she won her first two Grammys: Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, both for “Flowers.” She had been nominated six times that year, and the wins came eighteen years after her Disney debut — a long wait that she acknowledged on stage with visible delight. A year later, at the 2025 Grammys, she won a third, for Best Country Duo/Group Performance alongside Beyoncé for “II Most Wanted,” a collaboration that also marked her return to country music’s biggest stage.

Endless Summer Vacation itself was released in March 2023 through Columbia Records and produced a string of hits beyond “Flowers,” including “River” and “Jaded.” Cyrus chose not to tour the album in the traditional sense — there was no arena run behind it — which makes the record’s streaming performance all the more important to her finances. Without a tour, the money came from streams, sync placements, and the renewed attention the album brought to her back catalog. Her earlier albums, from Bangerz to Plastic Hearts, all saw streaming lifts during the “Flowers” moment, and catalog streaming is the kind of income that keeps paying long after a release cycle ends.

Something Beautiful and Bass Persuades: The 2025–2026 Chapter

Cyrus did not slow down after the Grammys. In May 2025 she released Something Beautiful, her ninth studio album, through Columbia Records. She described it as a visual album and a “pop opera” inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall, and it arrived alongside a musical film she co-directed with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter. The film premiered at the Tribeca Festival in June 2025 and gave each of the album’s thirteen songs its own cinematic treatment. The album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album for the 2026 ceremony.

Then came the most eventful stretch of her career in years. In March 2026, she marked the twentieth anniversary of Hannah Montana with a special on Disney+ and Hulu built around an in-depth interview with Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper. In May 2026, she received the 2,845th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the Recording category at 7011 Hollywood Boulevard — a ceremony her mother Tish and her fiancé Maxx Morando both attended.

On August 31, 2026, she dropped the surname from her social media accounts and began performing under the mononym “Miley,” a rebrand that arrived just as she signed with Atlantic Records — her third major label home after Hollywood Records, RCA and Columbia. Her tenth studio album, Bass Persuades, was released on September 18, 2026, through Atlantic. The record, an eleven-track dance-pop set that she has described as a love story, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — her first chart-topper since Bangerz in 2013. The title track became the most-added song at US radio on its debut, and the album’s second single, “Let’s Get Married,” arrived with a black-and-white video directed by Mert Alas and filmed at the Chateau Marmont, starring Cyrus and Morando.

The album’s release was followed by her return to the stage. On October 16 and 18, 2026, she played two sold-out shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles — her first full concerts in four years. Ticket presales drew nearly 1.5 million fans into the queue, according to Atlantic Records’ publicity, and Morando joined her on drums for “Let’s Get Married” at the first show. The year also brought a personal loss: her godmother Dolly Parton died in late August 2026 at the age of 80, and Cyrus wrote on Instagram that one of their last conversations had been about music and change.

How Miley Cyrus Makes Her Money

Cyrus’s fortune is not the product of one big payday. It is the sum of six income streams that have paid her across two decades, and the mix has shifted as the industry changed around her. In the Disney years, television and merchandising did the heavy lifting. In the 2010s, touring and endorsements took over. Since 2023, streaming has become the engine, with “Flowers” and the Endless Summer Vacation catalog generating the kind of steady royalty income that a single hit used to produce only through radio and physical sales.

Music royalties and streaming. Ten studio albums, four Hannah Montana soundtracks, and a string of hit singles add up to a catalog with hundreds of millions of streams a year. “Flowers” alone, with 2.7 billion subscription stream equivalents in its first year according to the IFPI, would have generated millions in royalties by itself. Her catalog also earns from sync placements in film, television and advertising, and from the mechanical royalties that come with physical sales and downloads.

Touring and live performance. Her five major tours grossed more than $200 million combined, according to Parade’s reporting — $54 million for the Best of Both Worlds Tour, $67 million for the Wonder World Tour, $26 million for the Gypsy Heart Tour, $62 million for the Bangerz Tour, and around $1 million for the small-scale Milky Milky Milk Tour. Gross is not profit, as her own account of the Bangerz Tour makes clear, but even a modest retained share of those grosses runs into the tens of millions. The two Hollywood Bowl dates in October 2026, her first full shows in four years, suggest live performance is back on the table as a revenue stream.

Television and film. Beyond Hannah Montana, her most lucrative television work came as a coach on The Voice, where she sat on the panel for seasons 11 and 13 in 2016 and 2017. Screen Rant reported her pay at $13 million per season — a figure that, if accurate, would make the two seasons worth $26 million, more than her entire Hannah Montana television salary. Film roles, voice work in Bolt and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and hosting gigs including the MTV Video Music Awards added further income.

Endorsements and brand deals. Covered in detail below, her long-running Gucci Flora partnership and deals with Converse, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, Maybelline and Maison Margiela have added a steady stream of seven-figure fees.

Real estate. Her property deals have produced some of the clearest, most verifiable profits of her career — a Tennessee ranch sold for roughly $9 million more than she paid for it, and a Hidden Hills flip that cleared about $2.3 million in a single year.

Business ventures and investments. Less is publicly documented here than in the other streams. She founded the Happy Hippie Foundation in 2014, which is a nonprofit rather than a profit center, and she has not publicly disclosed startup investments or equity deals of the kind some of her peers have. Any estimate of this stream is necessarily modest.

Touring: The Grosses Behind the Headlines

Touring has been the single largest gross revenue stream of Cyrus’s career, and also the one most often misunderstood. The numbers below are grosses — the total ticket revenue before the costs of staging, travel, crew, venues and the label’s cut — drawn from Parade’s 2026 reporting.

• Best of Both Worlds Tour (2007–2008): more than $54 million gross. The tour sold out arenas across the United States, and the concert film of the same name became a box-office hit of its own.
• Wonder World Tour (2009): more than $67 million gross, of which Parade reports about $15 million went to Cyrus herself.
• Gypsy Heart Tour (2011): more than $26 million gross across dates in South America, Asia and Australia.
• Bangerz Tour (2014): more than $62 million gross — her biggest tour gross — though Cyrus later said she personally “didn’t make a dime” on it.
• Milky Milky Milk Tour (2015): around $1 million, a deliberately small-scale run with the Flaming Lips in theaters and clubs.

The Bangerz Tour paradox is worth sitting with, because it explains a lot about celebrity wealth. A tour that grosses $62 million can still leave its headliner with little if the production is expensive enough and the contracts are structured so that the label and the promoter recover their costs first. Cyrus’s own account — delivered casually, in a TikTok series, years after the fact — is one of the rare moments a major star has said so plainly. It is also why this article treats tour grosses as context for her wealth rather than as direct additions to it.

Endorsements and Brand Deals

Cyrus’s endorsement career has been built on fashion and beauty, and it has lasted longer than most pop stars’ brand relationships. Her most important partnership is with Gucci. She became the face of Gucci Flora in 2021, fronting the relaunch of Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, and she has stayed with the house through successive campaigns — Gorgeous Magnolia, Gorgeous Orchid — with the latest campaign shot in Los Angeles by Sabato De Sarno. Gucci has even commissioned anime-style promotional work around her Flora campaigns in Japan, a sign of how central she is to the fragrance’s identity. The financial terms of the deal have never been disclosed, but multi-year global fragrance ambassadorships for stars of her stature routinely command seven-figure annual fees.

The rest of the portfolio is broad. She fronted Marc Jacobs in 2014, represented Dolce & Gabbana eyewear, and became a global ambassador for Maybelline New York in 2025. In the fall of 2025 she became the first-ever celebrity face of Maison Margiela. Her longest-running collaboration outside luxury fashion is with Converse: she designed Pride collections for the brand in 2017 and 2018, with proceeds going to her Happy Hippie Foundation and the It Gets Better Project, and she has endorsed Beats by Dre since 2013. Booking Agent Info, which tracks celebrity endorsements, counts 14 brand deals across her career.

What is notable about the list is what it does not include: no fast-food deal, no crypto sponsorship, no payday-lender or gambling partnership of the kind that has embarrassed other stars. Her brand work has stayed in fashion, beauty and footwear, and much of it has been tied to causes she supports publicly. That restraint has likely cost her some short-term fees and protected the long-term value of her name.

Real Estate: Flips, Fire and a Tennessee Payday

If there is one part of Miley Cyrus’s wealth that can be verified with public records rather than estimates, it is her property record. She has bought and sold homes in California and Tennessee for fifteen years, and the deals tell a story of a buyer who learned the market quickly — including a painful lesson about fire risk.

Her first purchase came in 2010, when she was eighteen: a mid-century home in Studio City, California, bought for $3.9 million. She still owns it, according to property reporting, and it remains her longest-held home. In 2015 she bought a 5.5-acre equestrian ranch in Hidden Hills for $5 million, then sold it in 2018 for the same $5 million — a wash, financially, but a property she loved and used as a retreat while hosting the MTV Video Music Awards.

The Malibu chapter was harder. In 2016 she bought a four-bedroom ranch-style home in Malibu for $2.5 million, a turquoise-painted house she and Liam Hemsworth used as a guest house and creative studio. In November 2018, the Woolsey Fire swept through Malibu and destroyed Hemsworth’s neighboring home — the house the couple actually lived in, which he had bought for $6.8 million in 2014 — while her own house was badly damaged. She was filming Black Mirror in South Africa when the fire broke out. She later said the loss pushed the couple to marry a month later, in December 2018. After the split, she sold the damaged Malibu house in 2020 for $1.7 million, an $800,000 loss on the purchase price.

The Tennessee deal was the opposite story. In 2017 she bought a 33-acre estate in Franklin, her hometown, for $5.8 million — a farmhouse with a pool, a putting green and room for her animals. In 2022 she sold it for $14.5–14.6 million, depending on the report, a profit of roughly $8.7 million in five years. It was the single most profitable transaction of her property career and a reminder that the best real-estate returns often come from buying in a place you know well.

She flipped one more Hidden Hills home in the same period: a second property there, bought in 2020 for about $5 million, and sold a year later for $7.2 million, a profit of roughly $2.3 million. In 2022 she bought another home in Malibu, near where she had lived with Hemsworth, in a gated community whose neighbors include Lady Gaga and Avril Lavigne. As of late 2026, reporting places her base in Hidden Hills.

The Net Worth Breakdown: Where the Fortune Sits

No public figure’s net worth is ever published with an audited balance sheet, and Cyrus’s is no exception. The table below is CelebAmerica’s working breakdown of the $160 million anchored by Celebrity Net Worth — an editorial estimate of how the fortune is composed, built from the reported earnings, grosses and property profits documented above. It is not a disclosure from her team, and the true split could differ. It is offered so readers can see what the headline number is actually made of.

Two things stand out in that split. First, music is now the largest piece, which is a change from a decade ago, when touring and television dominated — a shift driven by “Flowers” and the streaming era. Second, real estate is unusually large for a pop star’s fortune, because the Tennessee sale alone returned close to $9 million in profit. It is the clearest single contribution to her wealth that can be verified from public records.

How Her Wealth Compares With Her Peers

Placed next to her peers, Cyrus’s $160 million is substantial but not top-tier — and the comparison says more about how different pop careers monetize than about any failure on her part. Parade’s 2026 reporting puts Taylor Swift at about $2 billion, more than twelve times Cyrus’s fortune, a gap built on Swift’s ownership of her masters, her record-breaking Eras Tour and a touring scale Cyrus has never attempted. Ariana Grande, by contrast, sits closer: comparison trackers put her at about $240 million, roughly one and a half times Cyrus’s figure.

The gap with Swift is instructive. Swift’s fortune rests on decisions Cyrus did not make — re-recording her catalog to own her masters, and mounting a stadium tour that grossed more than $2 billion. Cyrus, meanwhile, chose not to tour Endless Summer Vacation at all, and her biggest tour grossed $62 million. Her wealth has been built more quietly: catalog royalties, brand deals, and property profits rather than one giant touring windfall. It is also worth noting that Cyrus’s fortune has been remarkably stable — Celebrity Net Worth has carried her at $160 million for several years running, through the Grammy wins, the new albums and the 2026 comeback. The stability suggests a fortune built on assets that hold value rather than on a single year’s earnings.

The Selena Gomez line is there for a reason: her billionaire status rests almost entirely on Rare Beauty, a business she built outside music. Cyrus has no equivalent equity windfall. If she ever does — a beauty line, a catalog sale, a Las Vegas residency — the number could move fast. For now, $160 million is a fortune built the old-fashioned way, one album and one property deal at a time.

Personal Life: Liam Hemsworth, Maxx Morando and the Engagement

Cyrus’s personal life has been public since she was a teenager, and it has been expensive in the way celebrity relationships often are — not because of any reported settlement, but because her most serious relationships have coincided with her biggest career chapters. She dated actor Liam Hemsworth on and off for a decade after meeting him on the set of The Last Song in 2009. They were first engaged in 2012, split, reunited, and married in a small ceremony at her Franklin home in December 2018 — a wedding she later said was prompted in part by losing their Malibu home in the Woolsey Fire a month earlier. The marriage lasted seven months. They separated in August 2019 and their divorce was finalized in January 2020.

After the divorce she was linked to singer Cody Simpson and, briefly, to Kaitlynn Carter. Since late 2021 she has been with Maxx Morando, the drummer of the band Liily, whom she met on a blind date. Morando has worked with her musically as well as personally — he produced on Endless Summer Vacation and co-wrote and co-produced “Let’s Get Married” on Bass Persuades. In December 2025, Cyrus arrived at the Los Angeles premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash wearing a diamond ring, and the engagement was confirmed the next day by outlets including E! Online, ELLE, Rolling Stone and Parade, which reported that Morando had proposed during a trip to Japan. At the Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2026, her mother Tish appeared to refer to Morando as her “husband,” which set off speculation about a secret wedding. There is no confirmation of that, and her representatives have not commented — so this article treats her as engaged, not married.

Her family remains central to her life and her work. Her father Billy Ray’s career gave her the industry; her godmother Dolly Parton gave her a mentor and a collaborator — they recorded together and performed together over the years, and Parton’s death in August 2026 was, by Cyrus’s own account on Instagram, a personal blow. Her mother Tish has managed parts of her career, and her siblings — including singers Noah Cyrus and Trace Cyrus — have their own public careers. The Cyrus family is, in effect, a small entertainment business of its own, and Miley is its most valuable member.

The Walk of Fame Star and the Hannah Montana Anniversary

Two moments in 2026 bookend the story of her career. The first came in March, when the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special aired on Disney+ and Hulu. Built around an in-depth interview with Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper, it was the first time Cyrus had revisited the show at length in years, and it arrived at a moment when the anniversary was generating real nostalgia — and real streaming — for the original series. Twenty years after a thirteen-year-old from Franklin, Tennessee, became the face of a billion-dollar franchise, the show that made her was still paying her back in attention and royalties.

The second came on May 22, 2026, when she unveiled star No. 2,845 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the Recording category at 7011 Hollywood Boulevard. She used the ceremony to address her own mortality, riffing on the closing lyric of “Walk of Fame,” a track from Something Beautiful co-written with Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard, in which Howard sings “you’ll live forever.” The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce’s citation for the honor noted her Grammy wins and her two-decade career. Between the anniversary special and the star, 2026 became the year the industry formally recognized what the numbers had shown for a while: a child star who did not flame out, but rebuilt herself into a working artist with a catalog, a fortune and a future.

Controversies and Public Scrutiny

No account of Cyrus’s career is complete without the controversies, and they matter to the money story because they shaped how the public — and brands — valued her at different moments. The 2013 VMA performance with Robin Thicke drew a wave of criticism, much of it focused on her age and her break from the Disney image, and it dominated coverage for weeks. She has since said she understood the performance’s impact and does not regret the reinvention it announced. The episode did not damage her commercially — Bangerz went to No. 1 weeks later — but it fixed her public image as a provocateur for years.

Other scrutiny has been quieter and more consequential. Her 2023 statement that she “didn’t make a dime” on the Bangerz Tour raised questions about how young stars’ touring contracts are structured, and her 2016 comment about being the least-paid person in the Hannah Montana cast fed a broader conversation about child-actor pay at Disney. In 2024, “Flowers” was the subject of a copyright lawsuit alleging similarities to Bruno Mars’s “When I Was Your Man” — a case that was still working through the courts as of 2025 and that Cyrus’s team has contested. None of these episodes has produced a reported financial penalty against her, and none has stopped the flow of brand deals or the streaming numbers. They are part of the record, and they are the reason her fortune is built on a catalog and property rather than on a reputation that has never been tested.

Philanthropy: The Happy Hippie Foundation

Cyrus founded the Happy Hippie Foundation on September 17, 2014, and launched it publicly on May 5, 2015, after she gave her 2014 MTV Video Music Awards acceptance moment to Jesse Helt, a homeless young man, to speak about youth homelessness. The foundation focuses on homeless youth — particularly LGBTQ youth — and other vulnerable populations, providing support services and funding through partners including My Friend’s Place in Los Angeles and Gender Spectrum. In 2024, the foundation was renamed the Miley Cyrus Foundation.

Her philanthropy is not a side project. She has used her Converse Pride collections to direct proceeds to the foundation and the It Gets Better Project, performed at Capital Pride in Washington, D.C., in 2017 wearing the foundation’s logo, and served as a spokesperson for the MAC AIDS Fund, with every cent of Viva Glam lip product sales going to the MAC AIDS Fund. She has also given away the proceeds of individual songs to the foundation. The giving does not show up in a net-worth figure — if anything, it reduces it — but it is part of how she has spent the fortune, and it is the part of her public life that has drawn the least criticism.

The Happy Hippie Foundation’s history is documented on Wikipedia and amfAR.

How we estimated: CelebAmerica anchored the headline figure to Celebrity Net Worth’s published $160 million estimate and cross-checked it against Parade and other trackers that land on the same number. Where sources conflicted — the Hannah Montana per-episode salary in later seasons, the exact sale price of the Tennessee ranch — we published the range and named the disagreement rather than picking the most dramatic number. Tour grosses are reported as grosses, not personal income, and Cyrus’s own statement that she “didn’t make a dime” on the Bangerz Tour is included for that reason. The component breakdown in this article is our editorial working estimate, not a disclosure from Cyrus or her team. Net-worth estimates for public figures are inherently uncertain: actual wealth depends on private asset values, unreported income, taxes, spending and liabilities that no outside source can see.
