Cyrus has become a celebrated musical artist for making songs like “Party in the USA,” “Can’t Be Tamed,” “We Can’t Stop” and the chart-topping hit “Wrecking Ball.”
In 2010, Forbes ranked Miley Cyrus in the 13th spot on their list of the highest-paid celebrities. She made her way back on the list in 2014, this time in the 17th spot.
Since her days on Hannah Montana, Cyrus has continued to further her acting career in films like The Last Song and Bolt.
