Access Hollywood - April 23, 2008 9:58 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.

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.

    some of these celebrities have no talent and yet only get this much money for stupid reasons. look at miley cyrus, no talent, and yet she makes this much money? some people here are really talented like the harry potter cast can actually act, and so can dakota fanning, but miley and zac?

    i think that its kinda ridiculous how much they make. our economy is in terrrible shape yet we have enough money to pay these people as much as much as they "deserve" while the rest of the us struggle to make it. my parents didn't give me an allowance growing up and i don't expect to give my kids an allowance unless if they truly deserve it. don't get me w
