Miley Cyrus’ Embarrassing Salary

Leave Comment

Think Miley Cyrus makes a killing being Hannah Montana? Think again! According to hollywoodlife, Miley makes just a fraction of what other, less popular teen stars make. Here is the list from the New York Post of salaries per episode:

Angus T. Jones, 16 - Two and a Half Men - $250,000
Miranda Cosgrove, 16 - iCarly - $180,000
Selena Gomez, 17, - Wizards of Waverly Place -$25,000
Dylan and Cole Sprouse 17, - The Suite Life - $20,000 each
Keke Palmer, 16, - True Jackson - $20,000
Miley Cyrus, 17, - Hannah Montana - $15,000
Rico Rodriguez, 11, - ABC’s Modern Family - $15,000
Demi Lovato, 17, - Sonny With a Chance - $12,000
Victoria Justice, 17, - Victorious - $12,000
Atticus Shaffer, 11, - ABC’s The Middle - $12,000

No wonder she doesn’t want to do Hannah Montana anymore! She makes a lot more between her albums and movies! But again, event though it looks like these teen are raking it in they don’t actually see that much. Agent, Jackie Lewis said “10 percent goes to the agent and 10-15 percent goes to the manager and 15 percent goes to the Coogan Account (a trust fund account established by the State of California for underage actors). So even if a kid is making $25,000 a week, he or she may see only 30 to 40 percent of that money.” Hmm…something tells me most kids would still be pretty happy with that! Source: Hollywoodlife
