Smiley Miley has Nearly a Billion Reasons to Smile

How much influence does the media hold over the general population’s opinion? In this case, how is the media assisting 15 year old Miley Cyrus into becoming a multi-billionaire?

Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana are pratically synonymous with one another these days.


Miss Cyrus is the daughter of popular country singer, Billy Ray Cyrus. She is quickly becoming one of the riches teens ever.


Let’s talk numbers: (from portfolios.com):



  • 7 songs from Miley’s first album, Hannah Montana made the Billboard 100 Chart

  • 5.1 Million viewers tuned into to Hannah Montana’s debut in March 2006

  • $31.1 Million Dollars the 3D movie Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour grossed during opening weekend

  • $36 Million Dollars worth of revenue in 2007 for the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour

This girl is clearly a mega star. She manages to hit the preteen and teen market with a punch.


Her movie beat out long time preformers’ U2’s similar project but nearly $30 Million. According to Portfolios.com, both movies were 3D. U2’s movie cost 10 Million to make, while Miley’s movie only took 7.


According to AOL’s Predictions, Miley Cyrus is well on her way to being worth more than the Olsen twins (combined!)

Yes, she has lots of reasons to smile. One of these reason is that she is rich and everyone likes her. I like her, too.
