The tour was hugely successful and the album was sold more than 3 million copies. In 2009, she was ranked #4 on Billboard as the best-selling female artist.
However, in 2010, she wanted to change her image as a teen superstar. She acted on The Last Song and released an album named Can’t Be Tamed.
The album was controversial due to the lyrics and Miley’s stage performance.
Miley’s teen image never came back. She continued to produce more mature songs such as We Can’t Stop and Wrecking Ball.

Husband, Boyfriend, & Dating History
Tyler Posey
The Disney Channel alum met the former Teen Wolf actor on the set of her dad’s show, Doc, in 2000, and started dating shortly after. “We were so damn young … I would get excited when we would hold hands,” Posey told ET of the relationship, which happened when she was 7 and he was 9. He also revealed that the “Malibu” singer was his first kiss.
Dylan Sprouse
The Suite Life of Zack & Cody star admitted he and Cyrus dated for about a day when he was 11 or 12 years old. “We met at her set, I believe, and we dated. And then Nick Jonas walked by and it was over,” he joked on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2008.
Nick Jonas
Cyrus and Jonas met on June 11, 2006 at a charity event, as documented in her 2009 memoir Miles To Go. Their romance continued to blossom when the Jonas Brothers opened for her Best of Both Worlds Tour. They didn’t confirm their relationship until after their 2007 split, a month before their joint tour was over. In a wide-ranging interview with Seventeen (via People) the next year, Cyrus revealed that the pair “became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met.” She explained, “Nick and I loved each other. We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn’t fun.” She added, “Maybe he’ll be my best friend for the rest of my life or maybe I’ll end up marrying Nick Jonas!” After their romance ended, Cyrus and Jonas expressed their emotions musically. Cyrus wrote “7 Things” about her ex, while Jonas penned “Wedding Bells.”
Justin Gaston
Then 16-year-old Cyrus found love with 20-year-old Justin Gaston, a contestant on her dad’s reality show Nashville Star. They dated for nine months before splitting in June 2009. Sources told E! at the time that Cyrus’s newfound friendship with Jonas may have contributed to the breakup. “She obviously has been hanging out with Nick again a lot, and Justin was cool with it at first, as long as it was just a cool, friendly thing,” the insider said. “She didn’t cheat, but I guess Nick was trying to get her back the whole time.” Then, Cyrus jetted to Savannah, Georgia to film The Last Song.
Liam Hemsworth
On the set of her Nicholas Sparks romance movie, Cyrus had real-life sparks with her co-star Liam Hemsworth. Rumors of a real-life romance began in January 2010 when People spotted the pair kissing at an airport. They confirmed their relationship later that year and walked The Last Song premiere red carpet as a couple. “I’m so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam,” Cyrus told People in June 2012, following Hemsworth’s May 31 proposal.
Cyrus later candidly confirmed that she lost her virginity to Hemsworth at 16. But by September 2013, E! News reported that they had called it quits. A source said it was “Miley’s decision, after coming to grips with Liam being what she believed was less than faithful to her.” The week before, Hemsworth’s rep strongly denied rumors that he had been unfaithful. The release of Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball” musically signaled their split.
In November 2015, about two years after ending their engagement, the pair sparked reconciliation rumors when Cyrus helped Hemsworth adopt a dog. At the start of 2016, Cyrus was spotted wearing her Neil Lane engagement ring again. People officially reported that the couple was back together on January 21. “Miley is beyond happy to be engaged to Liam again,” a Cyrus source told the outlet. “It might seem sudden, but they have been very close for the past few months.” In November 2018, the couple shared heartache after damage to their Malibu home following the California wildfires. A source told People that the couple originally intended to wed in their Malibu home. Instead, they got hitched on December 23 in Cyrus’s Tennessee home in front of an intimate group.
In July 2019, Cyrus gave some revealing quotes to ELLE about her “modern” marriage. “I think it’s very confusing to people that I’m married. But my relationship is unique. And I don’t know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it’s so complex, and modern, and new that I don’t think we’re in a place where people would get it,” she said, later adding, “I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word.” On August 10, Cyrus’s rep confirmed the couple was splitting in a statement to People. The confirmation arrived after Cyrus was spotted kissing Kaitlynn Carter. Hemsworth and Cyrus’ divorce was finalized in January 2020 and Cyrus has since written songs “Slide Away,” “Midnight Sky,” and “Flowers” about their breakup
Mike WiLL Made-It
In the days after Cyrus’s breakup with Hemsworth, dating rumors linking her to several high-profile men emerged. Reports about rumored hookups with Jared Leto and Kellan Lutz, both per Us Weekly, have since been dispelled. But the most substantial fling to occur during this time was with Cyrus’s Bangerz album producer Mike WiLL Made-It. Us Weekly confirmed in June 2014 that they were an item. Their romance wasn’t built to last, but their working relationship has persisted. He even produced her August 2019 breakup ballad about Hemsworth, “Slide Away.
Patrick Schwarzenegger
In November 2014, multiple sources confirmed to Us Weekly that Cyrus was dating “longtime friend” Patrick Schwarzenegger. A source told the outlet, “They have a ton of common friends so they have run in the same circles for years.” Five months later, People reported that the pair had split. According to a source, his schedule as a USC student conflicted with Cyrus’s demanding career. “They’re just in two different places in their lives–he’s in college and she’s focused on her music and career,” the insider explained.
Stella Maxwell
Next, Cyrus was linked to model Stella Maxwell after they were spotted kissing in July 2015. But Cyrus wasn’t into labeling their fling as a relationship, she told ELLE UK. “I’m very open about it—I’m pansexual,” she said, adding, “I’m 22. I’m going on dates, but I change my style every two weeks, let alone who I’m with.” When asked about Maxwell directly, she said, “Stella’s awesome, but as soon as you hang out with someone, you get labelled as in a relationship. And I’m like, you can’t just assume that everyone I’m sitting at dinner with is a date. It’d be like we’re on a date right now.” Two years later, Cyrus penned the song “She’s Not Him,” which many believe is about her discovery that she’s still in love with Hemsworth—not Maxwell.
Kaitlynn Carter
A selfie of Cyrus with Kaitlynn Carter on August 9 began rumors of romance. That same month, Carter split from husband Brody Jenner and Cyrus separated from Hemsworth. Entertainment Tonight published photos of the pair kissing on a yacht during an Italy vacation. Carter was also by Cyrus’s side at the MTV VMAs, where she gave an emotional rendition of her song “Slide Away.”
On September 21, after about a month together, People reported that Cyrus and Carter had split, but were “still friends.” Carter later reflected on the romance in a November 2019 essay for ELLE, writing, “While it was short-lived, I’ll remain eternally grateful to my most recent relationship for opening my eyes to this unexplored part of myself, and for inspiring a new level of self-discovery and wonder at all the possibilities of life. I’ve been forced to get to know myself in a far deeper way than ever before, and not just in terms of my sexual preferences. I’ve also been forced to reckon with who I am as a person.
Cody Simpson
The next month, Cyrus was spotted getting cozy with longtime friend Cody Simpson. Hemsworth unfollowed Cyrus on Instagram after she shared photos of herself and Simpson dancing in the Nashville home where they got married. After a sizable amount of Instagram PDA, couples Halloween costumes, and even a music video collaboration in quarantine, the couple called it quits 10 months later. On August 13, almost a year to the day since Hemsworth confirmed he and Cyrus split, it was reported that Cyrus and Simpson had broken up. Cyrus confirmed the report herself on Instagram Live. “It came out that me and my boyfriend have broken up. It was confirmed by a ‘reliable source’ even though no one is reliable in a relationship except the individuals who are participating in it,” she explained. “But right now, two halves can’t make a whole, and we’re individually just working on ourselves to become the people that we wanna be, like everybody else at this age.
Maxx Morando
Cyrus and Morando were first linked in 2021, when they appeared together at a Gucci fashion show in Los Angeles. Morando also supported Cyrus during the taping of Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party — they were also seen dancing together backstage. Early on in 2022, a source close to Cyrus confirmed that they were an item: “She’s happily dating Maxx. It’s official between them.” Though they’ve kept their relationship “low-key,” Cyrus and Morando were last seen in November as they went for brunch in Malibu. Morando, a musician, is currently in the band Lilly, and he was previously a drummer for The Regrettes.
Net Worth
Miley Cyrus is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and philanthropist who has a net worth of $160 million.
Acting
Miley got her big break on Disney’s Hannah Montana when she was a kid, and racked in a pretty enormous salary at the time. Miley was named one of TV’s “richest kids” by the New York Post back in 2010, which noted that she made an estimated $15,000 per episode.
All in, Hannah Montana helped Miley earn $134 million by the time she was 18, according to Forbes. That might not even include ticket sales for her concerts or Hannah Montana: The Movie, which grossed $155.5 million at the box office. It’s likely Miley got a pretty big paycheck from that, too.
In addition to her double life, the 30-year-old singer was also was a main voice actor in Disney’s Bolt, and had a leading role in the The Last Song, which earned $310 million, and $89 million at the box office respectively. No word on exactly what Miley made for each, but it was probably significant.
Music
While Miley’s breakout role was playing a secret rock star on TV, she became an IRL musician and ended up releasing seven (!) studio albums and three live albums over the years. Put simply: Miley’s been busy.
According to the RIAA, Miley has earned over $45 million in digital singles (the downloads of individual songs vs. entire albums). And, I mean, the song “Party in the USA” is responsible for $11 million of that! All by itself! So let’s listen to it!
Real Estate
In 2011 Miley paid $4 million for a home in the hills above Studio City, California. The home is like a villa, featuring hacienda-inspired architecture, Tuscan-like fountains, a red-tiled roof, swimming pool. Miley told In Style magazine “Parts of it are really modern, but it’s mostly old Italian country.” Billy Ray’s guitar collection is housed in a converted temperature-controlled wine room.
In 2017 she paid $5.8 million for a 30-acre ranch estate in the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee. Miley sold this property in August 2022 for $14.6 million, an impressive $8 million profit after reportedly not making any substantial changes or renovations.
In November 2018, Cyrus revealed on social media that the Malibu home she shared with Liam Hemsworth had burned down in the Woolsey Fire, and expressed devastation for her community and gratitude for the safety of herself, Hemsworth, and their pets. Technically Liam was the owner of this property, picking it up in 2014 from singer/songwriter Matthew Wilder for $6.8 million. Coincidentally, in June 2020 Miley sold a different Malibu home to Matthew Wilder for $1.7 million. Unfortunately Miley paid $2.5 million for this property in 2016, taking an $800,000+ loss.
In the spring of 2018, Miley sold her equestrian ranch in Hidden Hills for $5 million — the same amount she paid for the property in 2015. Sitting on five acres of grounds, the 6,500 square foot house has seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a gym, a study, and a wine cellar. The property also has a 550-vine vineyard, a 10-stall barn, a chicken coop, a riding arena, and two paddocks.
In July 2020 Miley paid $5 million for a new 7,000 square-foot home in Hidden Hills. She sold this home in July 2021 for $7.2 million.
Charity
In 2008 and 2009, during her Best of Both Worlds and Wonder World Tours, for every concert ticket sold, she donated one dollar to the organization. Cyrus celebrated her 16th birthday at Disneyland by delivering a $1 million donation from Disney to Youth Service America.
In April 2010, Cyrus, working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, performed for and met with 29 Children at The Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles, California. Cyrus has continued her support for The Make-A-Wish Foundation and has met with at least 150 children.
During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in August 2017, Cyrus revealed that she would be donating $500,000 to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.
Cyrus and her then-boyfriend Cody Simpson donated 120 tacos to healthcare workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020. That same month, she partnered again with MAC Cosmetics to earmark $10 million from their annual Viva Glam campaign toward 250 local organizations nationwide heavily impacted by the pandemic.
