The Younger star moved to Hollywood when she was just six, and landed on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list in 2007 before she was even old enough to drink. That year alone, Duff banked a whopping $12 million.
Lizzie McGuire signaled her big break in 2001. Just a couple of years later, Fortune estimated the show and requisite tie-in merch had generated almost $100 million in profit. That very same year, the Duff-starring Cheaper by the Dozen, in which the young actress appeared alongside comedy heavyweight Steve Martin, grossed over $190 million worldwide. Its sequel, released in 2005, made over $129 million worldwide.
In between the two, Agent Cody Banks, opposite Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz, and A Cinderella Story, opposite fellow teen heartthrob Chad Michael Murray, grossed $58 million and $70 million worldwide respectively. In 2005 alone, Forbes estimated Duff earned $15 million.
