Young Moguls and PopularLet’s take a look at some of the moguls who are swimming in the money making and name making world before they even hit the ripe age of 30. When you actually look at it there are a lot more than you would think!

Miley Cyrus worth  $48 million

48 what! Miley daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus is well known these days for her signing and acting and growing up (the media hound her every move!) but she is making head way with it and building herself an unstoppable merchandise empire branded with her name. People still remember how Miley Cyrus got her start on Doc and the Disney show Hannah Montana which also served as her alta ego for a while. Miley was actually born Destiny Hope Cyrus and if you are wondering why Miley changed her name well apparently it was Smiley was a nickname given to her by her father, it got changed to Miley and everyone started to call her that…. When fame came knocking it seemed a more appropriate name.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen and worth an estimated $100 million

Yikes again! These twins have been making money since before they knew what money was due to their role on the Full House  tv show. These days the Olsen Twins Wal-mart fashion line and other business ventures keep the money rolling in. You can also catch Mary-Kate Olsen on Weeds. Just for interest Ashley Olsen and two minutes older!
Raven-Symone and worth an estimated $50 Million

Ok i’m not shocked anymore but I must admit I didn’t know who Raven is! As soon as I found out that Raven-Symone was on the Cosby Show though I recognised her and her show That’s So Raven seemed to do pretty well (Disney AGAIN!). She is now also building her empire through a series of products such as Raven Perfume and her music.

Mark Zuckerberg and $6.9 billion

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook go hand in hand so there is no need to explain who he is! The history of facebook and how he got here is pretty interesting stuff though and although The Social Network movie dramatised it there is still much more to dig into. End of the day he is worthy of his status as a top young mogul. He recently made the Time Magazine Person of the Year 2010 and made a  $100 Million Donation towards education.

Jessica Simpson’s net worth $1billion

Jessica Simpson came to light on reality show Newlyweds where she swanned about with her now ex husband on camera. She is now engaged to a new man called Eric Johnson but is pushing her own empire. She has a beauty products line called Dessert Beauty and a string of products. You can get Jessica Simpson women’s shoes, Jessica Simpson handbags, Jessica Simpson Fancy perfume, Jessica Simpson HairDo hair extensions and more! She has been working hard! I don’t care for her music much but I must admit she made me laugh in Dukes of Hazard.

Hilary Duff and $25 million net worth

Hilary Duff is yet another Disney Channel darling on the list! The Lizzie mcguire show propelled her to fame but she is now making her way into movies and the hilary duff filmography includes some interesting up and coming films such as The Gift Horse and The Story of Bonnie and Clyde. Like the others she has a booming merchandise line including Hilary Duff perfume, her Stuff by Hilary Duff fashion line, her Femme for DKNY Jeans line and more. She just recently married Mike Comrie.

Blake Ross  and $120 Million net worth

Who is Blake Ross may be your question! Blake started the famous browser Mozilla Firefox (originally named Phoenix) with Dave Hyatt in 2004 at just age 19. Blake Ross is now working for Facebook and David Hyatt is working for Apple.
