Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Could Divorce, Here’s How Much Money Is on the Line

Eight months – it might sound like a short period to most people but that’s how long Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were married before they dropped the divorce bomb, announcing their split on August 10, much to the disappointment of their fans who had probably thought the relationship was going to stay longer than that.

Add to that, the songstress even gushed about her marriage and her man in an interview just weeks before, so the sudden decision really came as a shock. “How could this happen?” everyone asked, but sadly, we can only speculate about the real reason as the couple remained, and by the looks of it will stay that way, tight-lipped about the matter.

Media Frenzy

Unfortunately, the news of the high profile split spread like wildfire, leading to a media frenzy as the public scrambled for bits of information and juicy inside tips that could help them solve the mystery as to why the two decided to end their relationship, which was the opposite of what the celebrities wanted.

Before the announcement, news started swirling that their marriage was on the rocks, while others say they are on the verge of a split. True enough, the confirmation came and later, photos that surfaced only made things worse.

Equal Split

The attention given to this split is not surprising simply because Miley and Liam are both celebrities. In talks about couples calling it quits in this industry, how much is at stake is always analyzed.

As for the former sweethearts who met in 2009 on the set of The Last Song, it’s unclear if they had signed a pre-nuptial agreement. But if they didn’t, as it was being presumed, then everything that they have accumulated in eight months would be considered community assets, meaning that they would have to equally divide the earnings.

That is if they decide to get a divorce, which, according to sources is highly unlikely due to the signs of reconciliation in the horizon. Meanwhile, it is worth checking how much each of them makes.

Miley Cyrus

Avid fans of Miley would know that she starred as the titular character in Disney’s Hannah Montana, where she played the teen who had a double life. She reportedly earned $15,000 per episode and raked in even more during tours of the show.

The actress’ Best of Both Worlds tour amassed $57 million in 2007 and after two years, her Wonder World tour grossed $67.1 million. By 2011, the Gypsy Heart tour earned over $26 million.

The Wrecking Ball hitmaker has an estimated net worth of $160 million. By 2014, she reportedly amassed $36 million, a portion of which she used to buy a $5.8-million farm 20 miles away from her hometown Nashville.

Liam Hemsworth

Liam Hemsworth, meanwhile, started at the longest-running soap opera of Australia, Neighbors, before he snatched the role of Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games franchise.

From this stint, the hunk allegedly earned $500,000 and even more in bonuses from the films’ success, Forbes reported. It is safe to say that he got a huge chunk of money after all the films grossed over $2.9 billion worldwide.
