Forbes top celebrity list only off about a third for Taylor Swift's 2009 income Afraid to look at what Forbes did to Jonas Brothers

Forbes was a LOT kinder to Taylor Swift than Miley Cyrus.

Forbes placed Swift's 2009 at $45-million, which is about 2/3 of what she actually made. Better than Cyrus' 1/3 reported by Forbes.

Swift's Fearless was released in 2008, but to be honest, Swift didn't kick into being the hottest thing in show business for this decade until about June of 2009.

Swift recently commanded $3.7-million for a Boston Gillette Stadium concert. Let's be conservative and say the 56 shows she did in 2009 earned her only $750,00 per performance. That's $42-million, close to the $45-million Forbes gave her. We'll overlook the $10-million plus she made on iTune and CD sales in 2009. Forbes uses New Math and I don't want to mess that up. To be honest, after reviewing what they did to Cyrus, I have no idea how they apply New Math.

More honesty. Don't think I have enough fingers and toes to figure out how many singles hits Swift had in 2009 Let's say she made about half-a-million off EACH of those.

I'm afraid to look at what Forbes did to other artists, including The Jonas Brothers. I DO KNOW Ke$ha's 2010 income will blow up like a nuke bomb compared to her 2009 income. I just paid a gazillion $$$ to see her July 22 show...

For second year in a row Forbes under reports Miley Cyrus income When is the public going to learn mainstream media full of ca-ca?

One year ago posted how Forbes reported Miley Cyrus made $25-million in 2008 when she made $150-million+. Guess what, Forbes was generous this year upping Cyrus to $48-million.

Forbes must be a LOT smarter at the new math than me, In 2009, Cyrus did 51 concerts - announced on this site first in April, 2009 (also announced her 2010 tour first week in May)- including the United Kingdom earning $1-million per concert. According to Forbes' New Math that's well under $48-million, because Forbes had to include the 26 episodes of Hannah Montana, where Cyrus got an estimated $20,000 per episode (before 4th season sign on bonus). Then two movies, one called Hannah Montana, the other Last Song. Three CDs, Time of Our Lives, Hannah Montana 3 and Hannah Montana the Movie. Don't forget the merchandising deal with Walmart that added greatly to her 2009 income.

Yes, Forbes says $48-million. Everyone is buying it too. Not me. I, as Hilary Duff says, do the math. I put her near $150,000,000 for the second year in a row. Her total wealth near or over 1/2-billion $$.

Putting on the income breaks Miley Cyrus falls from half million per day in 2009 to $3,500 per day in 2010

TMZ recently reported Selena Gomez makes $11,000 per show for The Wizards of Waverly Place. Believe it or not, Miley Cyrus makes little more for the fourth season of Hannah Montana.

Cyrus had a fabulous 2009. She had her book, Miles to Go. She filmed The Last Song and had the Hannah Montana movie.

She released three albums – Hannah Montana movie soundtrack, The Time of Our Lives and Hannah Montana 3. Each sold extremely well and placed millions in her pocket.

Her biggest $$$ maker in 2009 was the Wonder World tour with 45 dates that netted $1-million per show, not including the T-shirt and show items sales.

Let’s be generous at Hilary Duff Miley Cyrus’ financial outlook for 2010. She has a few movie projects in the offering, but nothing concrete. She is currently filming the final season of Hannah Montana, 26 episodes that ends filming in March. Let’s be generous - $600,000 for those 26 episodes. No CD in the offering, but it would be foolish of Disney not to offer one last Hannah Montana soundtrack, like they did with the Lizzie McGuire movie that sent Hilary Duff into career oblivion.

Cyrus may be filming Wings this year, but IMDB lists the project in development and no filming announced.

She has royalties from all her past material, and she may even make some $$$ from The Last Song, if it breaks even. There will also be a soundtrack from that movie. That appears to be it for Cyrus for 2010.

Again, being generous, from royalties and the Walmart revenue – if there is any residuals from that – she’s making another $600,000 for the year. That equates to roughly $3,500 per day. Going to be rough, how is she going to live off that? Seems the economy is bad in Disney universe like everywhere else.
