15 Things You Don't Know About Miley Cyrus

10.Not Miley

Her legal name now is Miley, but she was actually called Destiny Hope and Miley was the name derived from her childhood nickname 'smiley'. However, she preferred to be called by that and when she was a teenager she legally changed her name and you have to admit that it does sound a bit better than her birth name and you cannot see her being as big a star with it.

11.Poor dad

As a teenager she was already richer than her dad and he is not exactly scraping around in the bargain bucket. She was once reported to have managed to earn $54 million in a single year as a teenager and of course that net worth is only going to continue to increase unless her wacky behavior starts to backfire.

12.Godmother

Her godmother is that Queen of country music, Dolly Parton and you wonder what she is thinking about all of the controversy surrounding Miley right now. It does make sense that somebody such as this is her godmother due to her father, but for some reason it still comes across as a strange blend.
