Last week we learned about celebrities like Lana Dey Rey and Lady Gaga who grew up wealthy and nowadays have even more money and success.

When Miley Cyrus was born in 1992 her father Billy Ray Cyrus’s song “Achy Breaky Heart” was No. 1 on the Billboard country charts and No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her dad’s estimated net worth is a respectable $50 million, which, no doubt helped Miley Cyrus start her career. Although the star used her father’s name to land her a role on Disney’s ‘Hannah Montana’, the pop diva is now worth an estimated $150 million which she made all on her own.
