The essentials
Career · Love & family · Business · The numbers
Miley Cyrus entered entertainment as the face of a Disney franchise whose retail scale dwarfed her early salary. Two decades later, the more important asset is control: her publishing arrangement has been reported as administration rather than a catalogue sale, while a new Atlantic album begins another business chapter.
01 / The breakthrough
The cheapest finalist became Hannah Montana
Born Destiny Hope Cyrus in Franklin, Tennessee, she legally adopted the name Miley Ray Cyrus in 2008. Her family moved to Los Angeles after she won the role of Miley Stewart in Hannah Montana, which premiered in 2006 and made her a global teen star. Biography.com — Miley Cyrus
Her season-one pay has been reported at $8,000 an episode. The scale on the other side was far larger: Disney projected Hannah Montana and High School Musical together would drive $2.7 billion in fiscal-2008 retail sales. That projection describes consumer spending around two franchises, not Miley’s personal income. The Hollywood Reporter — Disney licensing
She later moved beyond the Disney identity through albums including Bangerz, Plastic Hearts, Endless Summer Vacation and 2025’s Something Beautiful. Her next album, Bass Persuades, is officially listed for September 18, 2026 under exclusive license to Atlantic. Sony Music — Something Beautiful · Apple Music — Bass Persuades
02 / Love & relationships
Maxx Morando is her fiancé
Miley Cyrus and musician Maxx Morando are engaged. The Los Angeles Times reported the engagement on December 2, 2025 after the couple appeared together at the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere. Los Angeles Times — engagement
Cyrus was previously married to actor Liam Hemsworth from 2018 to 2020. She has no publicly confirmed children. Those facts answer the current relationship questions without turning private gaps into rumours.
An engagement also does not create a reliable combined net-worth figure. This page attributes the published estimate to Cyrus individually and does not assign Morando’s assets or income to her.
03 / The business
A catalog she has not publicly sold
Music Business Worldwide described her 2013 Universal agreement as publishing administration covering Bangerz, on which she co-wrote 10 of 13 songs. Administration helps collect and manage publishing income; it is not the same as selling the copyrights. No credible public report establishes that Cyrus has since sold her catalogue. Music Business Worldwide — Universal publishing administration
Flowers shows why the distinction matters. IFPI named it the biggest global single of 2023, recording 2.7 billion subscription-stream equivalents. That measurement signals reach, not a personal royalty cheque: songwriter shares, recording rights, distribution and contractual deductions all sit between global consumption and take-home income. IFPI — Flowers global single of 2023
The song also carries legal uncertainty. A federal judge declined to dismiss Tempo Music Investments’ copyright case in March 2025, clearing the path for the case to proceed. This profile does not predict a win, loss or personal liability from that procedural ruling. Variety — Flowers lawsuit dismissal denied
Tour gross is equally easy to misuse. Cyrus said the ambitious Bangerz production made no money for her, despite substantial ticket sales. This illustrates why gross receipts and artist profit are different measures. Forbes — Cyrus on the Bangerz tour
Her label history has also moved on. NME reported the 2021 Columbia signing after RCA; the Apple Music listing for Bass Persuades now identifies an exclusive Atlantic license. A label relationship can affect financing and revenue splits, but neither announcement discloses her advance or royalty rate. NME — Columbia Records signing · Apple Music — Bass Persuades
The numbers, with their meaning
| Source / measure | Reported figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Celebrity Net Worth — Miley Cyrus | $160 million | Published net-worth estimate; not an audited balance sheet. |
| The Hollywood Reporter — Disney licensing | $2.7 billion | Disney retail-sales projection for two franchises combined; not Cyrus’s pay. |
| Reported season-one Hannah Montana fee | $8,000 per episode | Early acting compensation; later-season rates are not reliably documented. |
| IFPI — Flowers global single of 2023 | 2.7 billion | Subscription-stream equivalents for Flowers in IFPI’s 2023 ranking; not dollars. |
| Music Business Worldwide — Universal publishing administration | Not disclosed | Value and royalty terms of the Universal publishing-administration deal. |
| Apple Music — Bass Persuades | Not disclosed | Advance and royalty terms for Bass Persuades / Atlantic. |
The profile therefore keeps four measures apart: franchise retail sales, tour box office, music consumption and personal wealth. Only the last is the page’s headline, and even that remains a publisher’s estimate under our methodology.
