Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream

The Jonas Brothers made the cover of this week’s People magazine, along with Hollywood’s youngest and richest. Nick, Kevin, and Joe Jonas rank among the richest teens in show biz. The brothers pulled in $12 million alone as the opening act for Miley Cyrus’s Best Of Both Worlds concert tour. The brothers have indulged a little since raking in the dough. Nick drops over $1500 just for a pair of shoes. However, they also make good use of their fame and fortune, donating 10% of their earnings to their charity, the Change For The Children Foundation.

Miley Cyrus, a good friend of The Jonas Brothers, topped the list and landed top billing on the cover of People. In the 2007-2008 fiscal year, she’s expected to bring in a whopping $1 billion dollars. She recently made a book deal with will reportedly pay her seven figures, her tour brought in $17.5 million, and she earned $65 million for the movie version of her concert. Despite banking so much, Miley’s mom says that her 15 year old doesn’t get to see much of it. "At the end of the day, she doesn't have much left," Tish Cyrus told People. Most of her earnings go into a trust fund that she can’t touch until she is 18.

High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens also made People magazine’s list. In 2006, Hudgens earned $2 million while Efron was paid a cool $3 million to reprise his role as Troy Bolton in the upcoming High School Musical 3. The stars of Harry Potter have big bank accounts thanks to the monstrous success of the film series. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint may be a bit jealous when they see Daniel Radcliffe’s bank statements. While Watson and Grint will earn $4 million per film for the remaining three Harry Potter movies, Radcliffe will pull in $50 million to continue playing the title character.
