What Is Hilary Duff’s Net Worth? Here’s What We Know

Hilary Duff is certainly one of the hardest working actresses in the business.

After teaming up with the house of mouse, the former teen idol landed a number of leading roles and made several TV appearances (remember Gossip Girl?!), all while pursuing her music, writing a YA trilogy and juggling different partnerships. Fast-forward to the present day, and the Younger star leads the Hulu spin-off of How I Met Your Mother. Plus, she’s “optimistic” about a future Lizzie McGuire reboot.

These achievements have definitely grown Hilary Duff’s net worth of $25 million. But we want to know: How exactly did she do it? Read on for more details.

Thanks to her shows, movies, music career and business ventures, the actress is currently worth $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Hilary earned $15,000 per episode of Lizzie McGuire, which adds up to roughly $1 million for the entire series—but the show’s success didn’t end there. Disney decided to capitalize on its popularity by launching merchandise like clothes, dolls and video games which, according to Fortune, grossed nearly $100 million (!!!) in revenue. Oh, and Duff earned an additional $1 million for her dual role in the 2003 film, The Lizzie McGuire Movie.

At the height of her fame, Duff ventured into music and gave us awesome bops like "So Yesterday" and "Come Clean." After releasing her debut Christmas-themed album in 2002, she released Metamorphosis in the following year, which sold more than five million copies.

Duff then released three more studio albums with Hollywood Records, Hilary Duff, Most Wanted and Dignity, before taking an eight-year hiatus. And when she made her return in 2015, she released Breathe In. Breathe Out., which debuted at number five on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Emmy-nominated writer Elise Allen and Duff published a young adult novel named Elixir in 2010, which is now officially a New York Times best-seller. Because of the first book’s success, the duo also released two sequels: Devoted in 2011 and True in 2013—but these aren't the only books that Duff worked on.

In 2020, she released her first children's book, My Brave Little Girl, which was inspired by her daughter Banks. While speaking with People, she said, "I remember coming home from work around midnight...Tired and emotional, I held my daughter and remembered the many ways I watched my mother be brave and was encouraged to do the same."
