Quick answer: Celebrity Net Worth (updated 19 March 2026) estimates Miley Cyrus at about $160 million. Forbes does not publish a 2026 Cyrus net-worth ticker and does not put her on its 2026 celebrity-billionaire list. What Forbes did publish is older earnings and deal math: a December 2021 feature estimated she had earned about $134 million by age 18 (largely the Hannah Montana machine) and put an estimated $40 million on a May 2021 NBCUniversal overall deal. That $134 million is a career-to-age-18 flow. It is not the $160 million wealth print, and this page does not add them.
Variety (14 May 2021) named the NBCU pact — three specials plus a Hopetown Entertainment first-look with Tish Cyrus — and did not print Forbes’ $40 million. Print both: the trade for the deal, Forbes for the estimate. Clone pages that slap “Forbes $160 million” on her, or that treat Boxscore tour gross as cash in her account, are not used as a second ledger.

What $160 million is — and what tour gross is not
| Source | Figure | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Celebrity Net Worth, 19 March 2026 | About $160 million | Compiler estimate of wealth. Not an audit. Not a Forbes real-time card. |
| Forbes, 12 December 2021 | ~$134 million earned by 18; ~$40 million NBCU overall (Forbes’ estimate) | Named earnings / deal math from 2021. Not 2026 net worth. |
| Variety, 14 May 2021 | NBCU overall + Hopetown first-look + three specials | The deal as a trade story. No dollar in that piece. |
| Rolling Stone / Billboard on Bangerz (2014 / 2023 comments) | Gross ~$62 million; she said she didn’t make a dime | Box office of a tour vs her claim about production cost. Neither is the $160 million ticker. |
| Clone roundups | $13 million per Voice season; $70.5 million / $67 million tour stacks treated as fortune | Not printed as CNW facts on the profile this page opened. Cut as wealth. |
Times of India and others that repeat “USD 160 million” in 2026 are pointing at Celebrity Net Worth. They are not a second ledger. Forbes’ 2026 celebrity-billionaire story names Taylor Swift (and others). It does not name Miley Cyrus. That gap is the point of the Taylor link above — not a diss track.
Hannah Montana vs Forbes’ age-18 stack
CNW: Disney Channel lead from 2006; soundtracks, tours, merchandise “that generated billions of dollars in revenue” — that is CNW’s franchise language, not her paycheck. This page will not turn “billions in Hannah Montana merch” into Miley’s bank balance.
Forbes (2021) estimated the series helped her earn about $134 million by 18. That is Forbes’ cumulative-earnings estimate to a birthday, published years later. It is the dual source next to CNW’s 2026 wealth ticker. Do not average $134 million and $160 million. Do not call $134 million her 2026 net worth.
She has said in interviews that she was among the least-paid people on that Disney set (Elle, 2016, as later quoted). This page will not invent an $8,000 / $15,000 episode W-2 as if CNW printed it on the profile we opened.
Bangerz: gross is not take-home
Rolling Stone (4 September 2023): the 2014 Bangerz Tour grossed a little more than $62 million; Cyrus said she paid for outlandish production and “didn’t make a dime.” Billboard carried the same first-person claim. Clone tables that drop $62.9 million into a “Miley earned” column are mixing promoter gross with personal profit. This page prints the split.
CNW’s music spine without new dollar rows: Bangerz, Younger Now, Plastic Hearts, Endless Summer Vacation / “Flowers.” Hits are catalog. Catalog is not a second net worth unless a named source prices the masters — Forbes has done that for Taylor Swift on this site; it has not published a Cyrus catalog card we can quote here.
Houses CNW actually prices
CNW’s real-estate chapter (purchase/sale facts, not a second fortune):
- 2011: about $4 million, hills above Studio City.
- 2017: about $5.8 million for a 30-acre Nashville-area ranch; sold August 2022 for about $14.6 million — CNW calls that an ~$8 million profit.
- Hidden Hills equestrian ranch: bought 2015 at about $5 million, sold spring 2018 at the same $5 million.
- July 2020: about $5 million for a ~7,000-square-foot Hidden Hills house; sold July 2021 for about $7.2 million.
- A 2016 Malibu purchase at about $2.5 million, sold June 2020 for about $1.7 million (CNW: $800,000+ loss). The Woolsey Fire house she shared with Liam Hemsworth: CNW says Liam was the owner (bought 2014 for about $6.8 million).

Frequently asked questions
What is Miley Cyrus’s net worth in 2026?
Celebrity Net Worth estimates about $160 million as of 19 March 2026. Forbes does not publish a 2026 net-worth ticker for her and does not list her among 2026 celebrity billionaires. Forbes’ 2021 story estimated about $134 million earned by age 18 — pay to a birthday, not that $160 million wealth print.
Did Forbes say she is worth $160 million?
No. The $160 million figure on this page is Celebrity Net Worth. Forbes’ named Cyrus money in 2021 was an earnings-by-18 estimate (~$134 million) and an estimated $40 million NBCUniversal deal. Do not relabel CNW as Forbes.
How much did she make from the Bangerz Tour?
Rolling Stone said the tour grossed a little more than $62 million. Cyrus told Billboard she didn’t make a dime after paying for the production. Gross ticket sales are not her net worth and, by her account, were not her profit on that run.
What was the NBCUniversal deal worth?
Variety (May 2021) reported an overall talent and development deal, three specials, and a Hopetown first-look. Forbes later estimated that pact at about $40 million. Variety did not print the $40 million; this page keeps the estimate labeled as Forbes’.
Is she richer than Taylor Swift?
Not on named 2026 lists this page uses. Forbes treats Swift as a billionaire catalog/tour story; it does not publish a matching Cyrus wealth card. CNW’s Cyrus ticker is about $160 million. Those are different objects, not a feud scoreboard.
Bottom line
Miley Cyrus’s 2026 money story on named sources is a ~$160 million Celebrity Net Worth estimate (19 March 2026), a Forbes 2021 pair (~$134 million earned by 18; ~$40 million NBCU estimate), a Variety deal without that dollar, CNW housing buys and sales, and a Bangerz tour whose ~$62 million gross she said was not take-home. Quote the compiler, date it, keep Forbes on the year it actually scored, and leave Voice-season folklore and “Forbes $160 million” clones off the page.
