More about Billy Ray Cyrus' net worth

Billy Ray Cyrus has the smaller fortune of the two, with $40 million separating the figures on Celebrity Net Worth. Most of his wealth traces back to 1992.

His debut album, "Some Gave All," spent 17 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200. It was certified nine-times platinum in the United States and sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Its lead single, "Achy Breaky Heart," reached number one on the country chart and number four on the Hot 100.

Television came next. The site says he played Robby Ray Stewart on Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" from 2006 to 2011. In 2019, he joined Lil Nas X on the "Old Town Road" remix. It spent 19 consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100, a record at the time, and brought him his first two Grammys in 2020. He released the album "The Hill" in June 2026.

Some money went out as well. His divorce from Firerose ended in August 2024 with a mediated settlement, the site reported. She received no cash or spousal support. Billy Ray Cyrus gave up claims to rights and royalties on 17 songs the pair had written together.

His property holdings are listed too. County records valued his 467-acre Tennessee farm at $6.5 million in 2012. He and then-wife Tish paid $5.838 million in 2007 for a Toluca Lake mansion. It sold in 2015 for $6 million.


More about Elizabeth Hurley's net worth

Elizabeth Hurley built her fortune on modeling, acting, and business, Celebrity Net Worth said. A black Versace gown at the 1994 "Four Weddings and a Funeral" premiere brought her global attention. In 1995, at 29, she signed with Estée Lauder. She stayed the brand's global face until 2001 and later became ambassador for its breast cancer campaign.

Acting added to the total. Her best-known role is Vanessa Kensington in 1997's "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery." She played Diana Payne on "Gossip Girl" from 2011 to 2012. She also starred as Queen Helena in "The Royals" from 2015 to 2018. Her beachwear line, Elizabeth Hurley Beach, launched in 2005. Three years later, she designed a 12-piece swimsuit collection for Mango.

Her main home is Donnington Hall, a 21-acre estate in Herefordshire that she bought in 2012 for $9.4 million, based on global conversion rates at that time.


Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus reportedly met while filming "Christmas in Paradise" on the Caribbean island of Nevis, PEOPLE reported. They reconnected years later and confirmed the relationship on April 20, 2025, with a joint Instagram photo. Their red carpet debut followed in Rome on May 24.

Billy Ray Cyrus told PEOPLE in June that Hurley entered his life while he made "The Hill," his first album in 14 years.
