Three years ago, the cast of High School Musical were just regular teens living regular lives.  Today, they're millionaires living the ultimate Hollywood life.  They splurge on clothes, purses, vacations, houses, and cars.  The cast have become household names and their faces are splashed across the covers of just about every magazine you can think of.  This weekend, E! News took a look at the top 3 millionaires from the High School Musical movies, disclosing how much they banked in 2007 and what they spent their money on.  We bet you can guess who came in at number one!

3. Vanessa Hudgens

In 2007, Vanessa Hudgens earned $3.2 million due to her High School Musical movies as well as endorsement deals and a budding music career. Her big splurge was a Hollywood mansion that cost her $2.75 million. The house has 6 bedrooms, 6 ½ bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, a wine cellar, and a 3 car garage.


2. Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale banked $5.5 million last year, thanks in part to her three part deal with Disney. Besides appearing in the High School Musical films, she had a starring role on the hit show, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody as well on the animated series, Phinneas and Ferb. Her endorsement deals from companies like Ecko Red and T-Mobile keep the cash flow coming. Her weakness is fast cars – her Porsche is $70,000 and her Range Rover cost her over $60,000.


1. Zac Efron

It’s no surprise that of all the High School Musical stars, Zac Efron made the most, earning $5.8 million in 2007. With three upcoming movies: 17 Again, Me and Orson Welles, and a remake of Footloose, he should be staying on top of this list for years to come. He’s been known to splurge here and there. He rented out a room at Pace restaurant for his 21st restaurant that cost him $10,000. He loves to vacation with Vanessa in Hawaii and his brand new Audi S6 set him back $90,000.
