After her risqué performance with Robin Thicke in last month's MTV Video Music Awards, Miley Cyrus gave her fans something new to talk about. The latest release of her music video for single "Wrecking Ball" showcased a more emotional side of the former child star. It also featured the 20-year old Cyrus nude and straddling a wrecking ball.

In an interview with Billboard, Cyrus said she was just being herself. "I really have more of a connection of who I am, and I feel like I can maybe express that more in my music now," she added.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the daughter of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus had a net value of USD 150 million. She became an instant hit when she was cast as Hannah Montana on Disney. The show also launched her career as a singer and songwriter. In 2006, the soundtrack of Hannah Montana topped the Billboard 200 charts. She sold more than three million copies in the US of a double-disc release in 2007 featuring a soundtrack from Hannah Montana and her own Miley Cyrus CD. The album surpassed the opening sales of the first Hannah Montana release.
