IT'S no wonder Miley Cyrus can't stop smiling... she's now officially the richest kid in the world.
The star of Disney Channel TV show Hannah Montana is set to be a billionaire by the end of the year. And she's still only 15.
Miley's astonishing fortune was revealed when she topped a list of Hollywood's most loaded kids.
A Disney spokesman said: "Kids are earning more and more and can command huge fees in Hollywood, but no one could have predicted how popular Miley would be. She's a true star."
Miley says her dad - Achy Breaky Heart country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, 46 - lets her have only pounds 150 a month and has banned her from touching a penny of her riches until her 18th birthday. She also has to do three hours of schooling a day.

Mum Leticia, 40, said: "A lot goes into her investment fund, which she can't touch until she's 18."
The Richest Kids list predicts Miley's Hannah Montana franchise will be worth a billion dollars by 2009.
She has packed arenas around the world and broken box office records with her first movie, Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert.
Last year alone the singer and actress took home pounds 9million as her fame spread round the world. She has sold 6.5million albums and beaten both The Beatles and Elvis by getting SEVEN singles into the US Top 100 at once.
Miley became an overnight sensation when her show started on the Disney Channel. She plays a schoolgirl who at night puts on a blonde wig and leads a secret double life as pop star Hannah Montana.
Miley's squeaky-clean image was tarnished for strait-laced American families when saucy pictures appeared on the internet of her showing her bra strap and cuddling up to a boy.
Worried their little girl will go off the rails like Britney Spears, her parents got her to agree to a deal where she promises she will live at the 500-acre family farm in Nashville, Tennessee, until she is 20.
Other child millionaires on the list include Little Miss Sunshine star Abigail Breslin, 12, who earns pounds 1m a movie but gets only pounds 5-a-week pocket money.
