What is also remarkable about the chart-topping hit-maker is her propensity to amass a mind-boggling fortune. Like most well-known performers, she earns a portion of her wealth by touring the world.

The breakdown of the figure would be enough to leave you sleepless for nights.
The Mind-boggling Commercial Success Of Miley Cyrus’ Music Tours
The lucrative nature of her musical tours has allowed the 31-year-old singer-songwriter to build a substantial fortune, even if it’s unclear exactly what proportion of the gross she took home. To evaluate the overall commercial output, we begin with her Best of Both Worlds Tour, also commonly known as her debut concert tour. The concerts spanned from October 2007 to January 2008. At record speed, she sold out several dates in the United States.
The ambitious project brought in $54 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. It enjoys the status of being the highest-grossing concert tour for a new act in 2007 and 2008.
Miley Cyrus‘ sophomore pursuit in music touring, Wonder World Tour, was observed in 2009, between September and December. The endeavor, held in various cities in the United States and the United Kingdom, was organized to honor her critically-favored second studio album, Breakout (2008), and her 2009 EP, The Time of Our Lives.
This tour brought in more than $67.1 million overall. As per Billboard.biz, the portion of this gross received by Cyrus mounted up to $15 million.

The Touring Fortune Continued
A few years later, media outlets announced her third tour. This one, dubbed Gypsy Heart Tour, didn’t cover any cities in the United States. Instead, the singer-songwriter’s shows were predominantly observed in the Philippines, Australia, and Latin America. The initiative began in recognition of her third studio album, Can’t Be Tamed (2010).
The tour earned the 22nd ranking in Pollstar‘s ‘Top 50 Worldwide Tours (Mid-Year).’ It grossed over $26 million.
Then came her fourth major outing in 2014—the Bangerz Tour. Critically acclaimed and noted for its risqué and experimental premise, this concert tour was held following the release of Cyrus’ fourth studio album, Bangerz (2013). This was a new era for the pop star, a clear shift noted in her style of music and performances.

And who better to celebrate a new chapter in her career than a supportive audience? The well-known pop singer toured the Oceania, Europe, and the Americas. With $62 million in revenue, the Bangerz Tour ranked as the 16th highest-grossing tour of that year (via Pollstar).
Her fifth concert tour was held in 2015. It was known as the Milky Milky Milk Tour and was a limited-run event. This modest-scale project reportedly raked in about $1 million (via Parade).
Altogether, these concert tours grossed an astounding $210 million in revenue. How much the star made out of this is not precisely reported, but we can presume it was a good deal.
Besides these, the Pop Chameleon also engaged in a festival tour in 2022, named the Attention Tour. She performed for Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest and Lollapalooza.
The singer-songwriter continues to set records, top the charts, and astonish her fans with her impeccable versatility. For the upcoming 66th Annual Grammy Awards, Cyrus’ eighth album, Endless Summer Vacation, has snagged nominations in the Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album categories. Her uber-popular song Flowers has also been nominated for several awards.
