Teen star Miley Cyrus will be a billionaire by the end of the year, reports say.

The 15-year-old is officially the wealthiest child in the world following her success in Disney Channel series Hannah Montana.

According to People, the franchise will be worth £500 million by 2009, while Cyrus earned £9 million last year alone.

A Disney spokesperson said: "Kids are earning more and more and can command huge fees in Hollywood. But no one could have predicted how popular Miley would be. She's a true star."

Mum Tish Cyrus added: "A lot goes into her investment fund, which she can't touch until she's 18."

The singer/actress completed a 69-date tour last year, with her 3-D film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour taking around £14 million in its opening weekend. She has also agreed a seven-figure deal to write her autobiography.

Other young stars on the rich list include band the Jonas Brothers and actresses Dakota Fanning, 14, and Abigail Breslin, 12.

She can't sing. She can't act. She is pretty, but I know girls a lot prettier. Waste of space.

She has the most fake scary smile.

[Sunny_01]

well done to her, she has made enough money as a child to never need to work again. Financial independence is a wonderful thing and to have that security at 15 must be amazing.

[xDramatick]

Aw I'm happy for her :]
I love Miley.

[Fom]

She is just lucky i suppose, hollywood isnt based on talent anymore, its basically if your lucky or not.

[Bells]

I'm actually really surprised. I guess those pre-teen and teen fans of hers are extremely loyal and have made her more and more popular.

[Tom4784]

Well done to her I say, it's not surprising really she's had quite a meteroic rise to fame.

Still I wonder why she is writing an autobiography now, isn't she only 15? it'll be about 10 pages long!

I think this is just hype I mean if the franchise is “only” worth £500 million by 2009 where the hell is she getting a Billion from? She made 9 million last year so they expect her to make over nine hundred million this year? I dont think it even comes close to adding up.

I'm happy for her - simply because she never has to count up pennies to pay the rent for the next few months (like a certain mug *points to self*). But really, billionaire for being an actress is a bit silly... I wouldn't even expect scholars who dedicate 80+ yrs of their life to curing diseases and explaining World happenings to get that much.

I am happy though, financial security to that extreme must be nice....

I had the same thought. Maybe they mean the franchise will be worth 1 billion. In any case, I'm ridiculously envious. I mean, I honestly don't get envious very often but THIS makes me seriously envious.



Even though I have to admit that she does deserve it.

[double-nugget]

Good on her. She's a good role model for younger girls aswell, so theres no reason why you should bash her rep.

The Hannah Montana franchise will be worth a billion. Miley herself would have only made 9 million last year through her albums and stuff. The HM franchise does clothes, magazines, dvds, equipment, cds etc.

I agree. I don't like these next generation Disney stars. I hope she doesn't become the next Britney Spears/Christina Auguilera. Good for her though, she accomplished a lot in 15 years.
