Vanessa Hudgens – $5 million

 

 

 

 

 

 

She wooed us as the pretty heroine in the surprise Disney hit movie franchise, High School Musical. This movie made Vanessa a huge star, although the Californian-born beauty had been in the Hollywood scene for a while, with some TV roles and a supporting role in 2003′s controversial movie Thirteen. In 2005, Hudgens landed the High School Musical role and shot to fame, compounded by her high-profile relationship with on-screen romantic interest Zac Efron. Vanessa has since shaken off her good-girl image, helped along by a leaked nude photo scandal and roles in some more controversial movies including 2013′s Spring Breakers.

Ashley Tisdale – $6 million

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ashley Tisdale got her first big break on the show The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. She started garnering more attention for herself when she starred as the female villain-type in High School Musical. Eventually, Ashley outgrew Disney and branched out on her own as both a singer and actress. She starred in a few films and even produced some successful albums. However, her money started really rolling in when she was cast in Hellcats – it’s rumored that she makes $30,000 an episode.

Brenda Song – $7.5 million

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brenda played a snobby rich girl on the hit show The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and although she may not be snobby in real life, she certainly is rich! Brenda’s career began when she was just a child in elementary school. She starred in several commercials before making the transition into films and television shows but Brenda gained a lot more recognition, fame – and of course money – when Disney picked her up to star as London Tipton in The Suite Life. Brenda continues to star in popular films, including The Social Network.

Selena Gomez – $9.5 million

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although Selena Gomez got her start on Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place, the bulk of her net worth has come from her hugely successful music career as well as her roles in other films. Gomez’s fame was also, certainly, helped along by her relationship with Justin Bieber. Recently, the star also launched her own production company, July Moons Productions, which is expected to net the young star even more wealth.

Demi Lovato – $15 million

 

 

 

 

 

 

Demi got her start on Disney but branched out into a highly successful music career. Well, she actually got her start as a child star on Barney and Friends but it was her lead role in the Disney musical movie Camp Rock – and her relationship with Joe Jonas – that really attracted public attention. When Camp Rock was released, Lovato signed a record deal and released her first album – but she stayed with the Disney Channel and took a lead role in the kids’ comedy Sonny With A Chance while working on her second album.

Hilary Duff – $25 million

Raven Symone – $53 million

Miley Cyrus – $150 million

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking at her current track record and videos, it can be hard to believe that only a few short years ago Miley Cyrus was staring on the Disney Channel as a cute, family friendly singer. Hannah Montana, the wildly successful Disney show about a girl who is by turns a famous singer and an ‘every girl’, allowed Miley to pursue dual careers in both acting and singing and helped her build a huge fan base. As the years progressed and she turned her back on her humble beginnings, Miley started producing more and more risqué music, and isolating her tween fans, before finally leaving the crowds slack-jawed and drooling at that infamous twerking performance at 2013′s VMA’s.

Britney Spears – $200 million

 

 

 

 

 

 

Britney got her start on The New Mickey Mouse Club. Once she transitioned into music, Britney began her career as the girl next door.

Although fans and the media assumed that this was the end of the pop star, she has since made a huge comeback and continues to produce music, appear on reality TV and win awards.
