Entrepreneurship

Cyrus became a spokesperson for Daisy Rock Guitars in 2004, when she was presented with her first Daisy Rock guitar — the Stardust Series Acoustic Electric Pink Sparkle.[61] Disney released a Hannah Montana clothing collection in late summer 2007. Cyrus helped to design some of the pieces from the collection.[62] In December 2007, she was ranked #17 in the list of Forbes Top Twenty Superstar Earners under 25 with an annual earning of US$3.5 million.[63] A wax figure of Cyrus was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in New York City.[64] In April 2008, Cyrus signed a contract to pen an autobiography reflecting on her life up to the age of 16. The memoir, called Miles To Go was written with Hilary Liftin[65] and was published by Disney-Hyperion Books in March 2009. The memoir discusses Cyrus's relationship with her father, her thoughts on the media, her love life, her future ambitions, and milestones she still has to reach in her life.[1] Miles to Go reached #1 on the New York Times children’s best seller list.[66] An initial printing run of one million copies of Miles to Go is planned.[67]

In August 2009, Cyrus teamed with Max Azria to create a line of junior and girls' separates available only at Walmart.[68] Cyrus's released her EP The Time of Our Lives in conjunction with the line and Walmart dedicated a page to the designers.[69] The line consists of vests, tie-dye tank tops, dresses, and plaids. Critics claimed the clothes were "completely inoffensive but totally snoozeworthy"[70] and "benign",[68] but admitted that "it's the generic that sells, regardless of whether it has Hannah Montana's name on it" and predicted they would be high sellers.[68]
