Miley Cyrus Enjoys an Extravagantly Luxurious Lifestyle

An entire generation of fans has borne witness to the stunning transformation of Miley Cyrus. The award-winning singer and actor first came onto the scene as the eponymous character in Disney Channel’s hit original television series “Hannah Montana.” The series totaled 100 episodes (an incredible feat for a children’s show), garnered a feature film with cameos from the likes of Tyra Banks and Rascal Flatts, produced multiple albums, and sent Cyrus on a path of no return toward superstardom.

“Hannah Montana” fans have grown up with the Disney alum. They danced along to her hit songs. They watched her fall in and out of love. Even amidst Miley Cyrus’ controversial past in the media, fans rooted for her. And through it all, they helped the artist become super rich. She had a head start, of course — her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, is a successful musician himself. But at this point, the “Party in the U.S.A.” singer’s accomplishments have cast a long shadow over anyone else in her family. Since she has earned the bulk of her fortune on her own, she now enjoys the fruits of her labors. Take a look inside Miley Cyrus’ lavish life.

Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana once famously said, “Yeah, I really am a rockstar.” Years later, Cyrus has fully manifested those lyrics, and it’s been evident in her Los Angeles homes. One of the most stunning was her $5 million mansion in Hidden Hills that her mom, Tish Cyrus, helped her design before selling. “My biggest thing is that when you walk into someone’s house. I want you to know who lives there, what their personality is, what they love, and what they’re like. I know Miley so well, and we’re so close, so I was really able to do that,” Tish told Architectural Digest of the home.

And Cyrus’ house was certainly her — bold, authentic, edgy, and glamorous. Some of the details in her home were unmistakably luxurious, like an upright Emerson piano, a Takashi Murakami painting, Waterworks fixtures, Gucci wallpaper, and a chair designed by Giancarlo Zema for Giovanetti worth over $9,000. The singer spent time and money altering the space to fit her tastes, with projects ranging from purely cosmetic to major, like completely renovating the primary bathroom. The result was a home that could’ve only belonged to Cyrus. “One of the things that I love most about my house is that even though there are these flamboyant colors, there is also something that is heavy and more masculine in some spaces. I think it’s just a reflection of my gender,” she said of the place.

Many musicians write music at home, but not many have the option to record using professional equipment from home. While Miley Cyrus lived in Malibu, that was her reality. At the multi-million dollar home Cyrus owned with her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, which she used as a guest house, Cyrus had a space called Rainbow Land, an at-home recording studio. While Cyrus has never divulged how much she spent on the digs, it was undoubtedly expensive — at-home recording studios can cost anywhere from $500 to $20,000 depending on construction and equipment costs.

Cyrus no longer owns Rainbow Land as she sold the property it sat on, but that doesn’t matter as the Grammy winner is able to come up with new work from anywhere. As she shared with Billboard, Cyrus wrote her hit song “Malibu,” “On the way to ‘The Voice.’ I drive myself everywhere, but that day I decided to Uber, and I was trying not to sing out loud because someone else was in the car.” Cyrus can perform from anywhere, too, and one of her favorite venues has become the iconic and lavish Chateau Marmont in Hollywood.

Miley Cyrus has a deep connection to Tennessee. The famed singer grew up in The Volunteer State, and it seems that her digs weren’t too bad. Cyrus spent the first part of her life living on a farm in Tennessee with an estimated 500 acres of land. Based on the price of land in the state, the property Cyrus grew up on could be worth over $7 million today. In 2017, Cyrus decided to get in on the magic herself by purchasing her own slice of Tennessee heaven in a 33-acre farm with a five-bedroom mansion sprawling nearly 7,000 square feet. The property, which sits just outside of Nashville, boasted high ceilings and wood beams, a gourmet kitchen, a gorgeous backyard featuring an in-ground pool and putting green, a detached barn, and rustic yet modern finishes throughout. After purchasing the ranch for $5.8 million, Cyrus sold it in 2022 for $14 million.

Cyrus’ real estate portfolio goes far beyond Tennessee. In addition to her former ranch and her aforementioned Hidden Hills and Malibu homes, the singer has owned multi-million dollar properties in Studio City and another in Hidden Hills. As of 2022, Cyrus is the proud owner of another Malibu mansion, which she snagged for nearly $8 million.

When Miley Cyrus owned property in Tennessee, she had to get back and forth from California somehow. Her preferred method of transportation seems to be a private jet. It’s unclear whether Cyrus owns her own plane or just charters one every time she needs to travel, but either way, it’s a major expense. For example, to fly from Nashville to Los Angeles, a charter flight reportedly costs at least $32,000. While renting a plane is certainly cheaper than owning and operating a personal jet, it’s still not cheap.

Cyrus hasn’t had the best luck on planes, though. In 2019, while on her way to the Glastonbury music festival, the private plane Cyrus was on nearly crashed twice. And in 2022, the jet flying Cyrus and her posse to a show in South America was struck by lightning. “To my fans and everyone worried after hearing about my flight to Asunción. Our plane was caught in a major unexpected storm and struck by lighting. My crew, band, friends and family who were all traveling with me are safe after an emergency landing. We were unfortunately unable to fly into Paraguay,” Cyrus said on Instagram after news spread of the incident.

Miley Cyrus doesn’t just take private jets to get to and from her various properties — the Disney icon also flies to luxurious international destinations for some rest and relaxation. In 2019, Cyrus escaped to Italy with her then-girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter for a trip. The two were spotted in Lake Como, a famously swanky spot where celebrities like George Clooney and Sylvester Stallone have owned property. Cyrus and Carter reportedly stayed in a penthouse suite that cost nearly $1,000 per night. Although that price isn’t so bad compared to the cost of other penthouses, it’s definitely not a cheap hotel room. The total price of the trip was compounded by the cost the two paid for the boat they floated on one afternoon.

In 2022, Cyrus was seen with her boyfriend Maxx Morando in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The details of their trip were scant, but they reportedly stayed at a waterfront property and had a private dinner on the beach one evening, both of which had to have been pricey. “Miley and Maxx had a great time together and walked around the resort holding hands and kissing. They cuddled up to one another wherever they went. They had lunch at the poolside restaurant and sat on the same side of the table whispering to each other and laughing,” a source told E! News of the couple’s vacation.

Miley Cyrus is a performer. The singer has to dress up quite often, and it’s not cheap to continually supply a new wardrobe, especially the way she does it. When Cyrus is performing on stage, she’s often wearing designer clothes. For example, to perform at the 2024 Grammy Awards, Cyrus wore a vintage Bob Mackie piece (in addition to nailing the revenge dress for the red carpet), as she did for her 2023 New Year’s Eve concert while on stage with Dolly Parton. Mackie’s designs range in price, but some of his vintage gowns can cost nearly $5,000 or more. “Every time I’ve ever seen her in anything that I’ve [designed], I’ve adored it because she loves to perform and get dressed up — you know that she’s loving every minute of it,” Mackie told Vogue of Cyrus wearing his work.

Those instances aren’t the only ones when Cyrus donned a vintage piece. For the cover of her 2023 album “Endless Summer Vacation,” Cyrus wore a vintage Alaïa piece. To emphasize just how lavish the entire album cover was, Cyrus shared with British Vogue, “I’m hanging from this pole that we have suspended in the middle of the Frank Sinatra estate while I’m wearing museum-quality, archival Alaïa. It’s just a little too good.” For her “Flowers” music video, Cyrus also wore designer — an Yves Saint Laurent dress and a pair of Tom Ford shoes.
