Teen star Miley Cyrus will be a dollar billionaire by the time she turns 18, 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 $1 billion by 2009, while Cyrus earned $17 million from last year's concert tour 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 $29 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.

wow! that's rich!

They are counting on her current market value remaining the same - go ask Britney about how ez it is to loose that.

No worries. I'm sure she will marry someone like a pizza delivery boy, pop out a couple kids, have a breakdown, and be "poor".

Never underestimate the money wasting abilities of a very lazy, low-pantsed wearing leech with fertility of Federline proportions. She's sure to acquire one of those eventually. Double bonus points if he's also looking to piggyback a career of his own off his relationship with her.

I can't see her being relevant when she's 18. I feel like her fame has already peaked.

**SVZ** · May 5th, 2008, 07:15 PM

uhhhh the FRANCHISE will be worth a billion, she won't see all of that money, heck she'll probably see like 20% which is still lots.

Meanwhile, people with real talent are just scraping by.

From what I understand from the article, the Hannah Montana franchise will be worth $1 billion by the time she's 18, not Miley herself. She gets only a portion of it - although I assume it's a large portion (but NOWHERE near $1 billion)

I can imagine Oprah with big pink curlers in her hair, green guck lathered on her puffy face, gorging down tubs of ben and jerrys on the couch thinking, "Oh heellllll noooooo!! I'm the queen bitch damnit!!"

*straps up the noose*

**NicoleWasHere** · May 5th, 2008, 07:50 PM

Maybe she'll take some of that money and buy a paper bag for that face.

Oh, who cares. I'm sick of this fugly kid. Her parents need to send her to her room for the next five years so we don't have to look at her or hear about her. The time off will give her plenty of time to practice her poses for the Playboy spread she's going to do when she turns eighteen.
