Miley Cyrus makes 2021 Forbes’ 30 under 30 list, says “It Was Now Or Never”

Miley Cyrus, born Destiny Hope Cyrus has made it in the Forbes‘ annual 30 under 30 list. She is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

Miley Cyrus took to her Twitter handle following the announcement on Wednesday December 1 and wrote, “FORBES 30 UNDER 30,” the singer captioned a video from her 30 Under 30 shoot. “I turned 29 last week. It was now or never. Thank you for the honor. @Forbes @happyhippiefdn @gucci.”

“Songwriting is the greatest joy that I have in my life. It’s my favorite element of what I do. Taking it in and being grateful every day for the fact that I write songs for a living because a lot of people write songs and it doesn’t get to be what keeps their lights on and for me to be able to be one of those people, I never forget how lucky I am,” the 29-year-old said.

She continued, “With anything, distance makes the heart grow fonder so having that distance from my fans for the longest I’ve ever had since I was 12 years old, almost two years separated from me and my audience, the pandemic kind of reignited and just lit that spark again for me, the gratitude that I have to be a live musician, first.”

Cyrus was previously selected to be a part of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in 2014, but has been called back for 2021 edition, due to having six albums chart within the top five on the Billboard 200 over the years, her Happy Hippie Foundation (which supports LGBTQ+ and at-risk youth), her investments in FanMade and feminine product company Hers.
