By Access HollywoodApril 23, 2008, 2:58 pm PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- They haven't even graduated from high school yet, but already a ton of teens are making big bucks in Hollywood.

Miley Cyrus is one of the top earning stars still in school. According to People, at just 15, she's earned $17.5 million from her tour alone. And with her big screen release, "Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert Movie," netting around $65 million, Miley will surely be able to afford plenty of her shopping weakness - Electra bikes, People reports.

At just 14, Angus T. Jones is already a TV veteran, having spent almost half a dozen years on "Two and a Half Men." As a result, he reportedly takes home a hefty paycheck - $1.2 million a year, People claims.

And he's not the only one bringing in the big bucks. Tyler James Williams, 15, from "Everybody Hates Chris," reportedly also makes the same amount.

In the movie world, Abigail Breslin, 12, and Dakota Fanning, 14, earn salaries in the millions for each film they appear in.

Breslin reportedly cashes checks for $2 million a picture, while Dakota can take up to $4 million a project. But, People reports that neither girl has lavish spending practices. Abigail earns just $11 in allowance each week, while Dakota gets no allowance at all.

As for the older stars - as in just old enough to have graduated high school - Daniel Radcliffe, 18, is a top earner.

People reports that he's expected to earn $50 million for the final "Harry Potter" films. His co-stars, Emma Watson, 18, will bank $4 million per film, the same figure 19-year-old Rupert Grint is expected to fetch.

    Are you kidding me? I hate Disney, w/ a passion. All bcuz of their movies and shows and muzik, their all #1. But news flash there's more of them that are around too. I mean, if you go to England, the Trio of HP, (Harry Potter), they are the richest teens in the world. Plus, I think Dan, Rupert & Emma could beat out these celeb as well.

    What do people do with these millions of dollars? I mean, sure you can buy a huge house, but how much of it are you going to use? 5 rooms? Seriously. I don't mind them making this money. If I go to see the movies I'm helping pay them. But maybe they could donate some to charity. (I bet rupert grint does *sigh*)

    well babygirl, mabye those people should get a job. Those people work hard for that money and when they earn it they can do whatever they want with it. Lots of celebs donate millions to charity and foundations. Dont be hatin on the people who make lots of money cause we are the people that are making their paychecks bigger.
