How much does Miley Cyrus make?

Miley is the over exposed star of the Disney kid’s show, Hannah Montana. When I was out doing some Christmas shopping I saw her image, as Hannah, on just about everything. I was just looking for some items at an on-line furniture store and noticed that there is also a “Hannah Montana collection” for bedroom furniture.

So how much does she make in salary for the show, royalties for her album(s) and licensing deals for her image? Is she the wealthiest non-adult out there, at least in terms of her own money making ability? Or does Disney keep it all, sort of like when Greg Brady was a rockstar because he fit the suit?

Several source online cite her 2007 income as being in the range of $18 million.

She might be the top grossing under-18 star right now; I don’t believe she’s yet hit the astronomical levels those twins from Full House, the Olsens, did.

Wikipedia quotes Forbes as saying that her 2007 income was only $3.5 million, making her the 17th highest-earning entertainer under the age of 25:

I must admit I never actually watch his videos, but the titles and the preview screenshots seem to suggest that 95% of them are about Miley Cyrus.
