Miley Cyrus
The former teen star, Miley Cyrus, 22, is now a sexy global brand worth a stagering $160 million! "Miley's image is wild and obscene, but she's a great businesswoman," says a source. Miley has shrewdly partnered with several companies— including Eos lip balm and Beats by Dre headphones—for product placement in her videos and has made millions with her sold-out Bangerz tour. What to do with all that cash? She splurged on a $161,000 Range Rover just so her dog can travel in style!

Gwyneth Paltrow
Her haters are really going to hate this: Gwyneth Paltrow's, bank account is worth an estimated $140 million. Besides making bank with hit movies, including the Iron Man franchise, she's also the creative director and a shareholder of organic beauty company Juice Beauty, which has invested heavily in her lifestyle website, Goop. But the stunning rich chick, 42, won't be adding to her net worth following her divorce from rocker Chris Martin, who's also worth $140 million. Their sealed agreement is not believed to include any alimony.

Kim Kardashian
The drop-dead-gorgeous, Kim Kardashian, 34, is the famous-for-being-famous engine behind the whole Kardashian operation. The reality star, whose career began with a sex tape, is now an international sensation who doesn't leave the house without someone paying her to wear, spray or tweet something —making it easy to see why she has $65 million in the bank. But that doesn't mean she's great with money. For Christmas, she splurged on a $54,000 doll house for daughter North!

Gisele Bundchen
Gisele Bündchen, 34, the world's highest-paid supermodel, is earning up to $128,000 daily and worth an estimated $427 million. Gisele, who recently retired from runway work— because she can— owes her fortune to her good looks and impeccable business mind, with lucrative endorsement deals from the likes of H&M, Chanel and Carolina Herrera. But all the fame and fortune doesn't faze the Brazilian bombshell, who says: "Whether I'm on this list or not doesn't interest me." OK, then.

Rihanna
The Barbadian beauty, Rihanna's, 27, $140 million net worth is due to roughly $48 million per year from a lucrative deal with rapper Jay Z's Roc Nation that she's had since 2004. Add many top-shelf endorsement deals, and it's a recipe for mucho dinero. As a source explains, "If Rihanna's face is on a product, people are going to buy it." To wit, in March Rihanna was the first woman of color to be named the face of Dior, adding to her endorsements with Puma and MAC Cosmetics. The singer owns multiple million-dollar properties, including a 10,000-square-foot, $22 million estate in Barbados known as One Sandy Lane. "Rihanna is absolutely living the high life," says the source. "She works had for what she has, and it shows!"

"I let them know that I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play." The star is also generous, recently buying her five assistants Fisker Karma sports cars at $100,000 a pop!
