Born Destiny Hope Cyrus to country music star father, Billy Ray Cyrus, it can be said that Miley Cyrus' net worth is destined for greatness.
Even at a young age, Miley has already begun her career in show business. At nine, Miley was cast in small roles, from TV shows such as "Doc", to films like 2003's "Big Fish."
What really started Miley Cyrus' net worth soaring is her winning the role of Disney's "Hannah Montana," an average girl whose alter ego was a pop star. The show became a hit and propelled the now 22-year-old singer's career as an actress, as well as a singer and songwriter.
With the "Hannah Montana" soundtrack skyrocketing to spot in Billboard's Top 200 in 2006, Miley Cyrus' net worth also skyrocketed. The following year, the double-disc release of another of the show's soundtrack and Miley's original namesake CD surpassed the previous one.
Currently, what keeps Miley Cyrus' net worth soaring is her new album "Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz." While it appears that Miley has a lot of dead pets, the current issue of wolf culling in Canada is being slammed by the singer. On Tuesday, the former Disney star took to Instagram to slam the killing program of British Columbia.
Cyrus asked her 28 million Instagram followers to sign a Change.org petition launched by advocacy group Pacific Wild so that the wolf culling would be put to an end. As of Wednesday noon PT, the petition has almost reached its goal of almost 200,000 signatures, according to CBC News.
Between January 15 and April 2015, 84 wolves have been killed, mostly shot from helicopters. This was the first year of a five-year plan of British Columbia to cull wolves. The plan was reportedly made as part of B.C.'s effort to save its endangered mountain caribou in the northern Rocky Mountains. There are currently only 70 of the species left.
CTV News reports that one of the herds of the mountain caribou only consists 18 caribou, which is down from 46 in 2009. According to officials, wolf predation is one of the main causes of the loss of the mountain caribou, apart from habitat loss and human encroachment.
"I am shameless when it comes to making changes in a world that at times needs to re-evaluate its morals when dealing with kindness and compassion towards animals, humanity, and the environment," Cyrus said on Instagram. "We can't let another winter pass us by without stopping this mass extermination!"
According to Ian McAllister, Pacific Wild's executive director, because of Miley's post on Wednesday, he expects the petition to surpass its goal. The Inquisitr reported that the website even crashed following Cyrus' post.
Don't let squares play the role of the circle of life!
