Hilary Duff left off Forbes Top-Earning list

Hilary Duff is one of the top-earning stars under 21 years of age. She is probably close to being the top earner. With her music, movies, fashion line and perfume, Hilary makes a ton of money. Since Hilary makes so much, it's a little puzzling why she did not make Forbes list of "Young Hollywood's Top-Earning Stars" under 21 years of age.

Some people are claiming that 2006 was a slow year for Hilary, which is why she didn't make the list. This claim is sort of true, Hilary didn't release any new music in '06 and her touring schedule was cut back considerably from previous years. Still though, I can guarantee that Hilary Duff made more than $1 million dollars, which is what the #10 star on the list (JoJo) made.

I have a feeling that Forbes just made a mistake by leaving Hilary off the list. There's no way that they could actually think that Hilary Duff made less than $1 million dollars in 2006. No one knows exactly what she earns, but last year Rolling Stone reported that she made $17.1 million, and I think that was just for music. Even if this number dropped off slightly because of Hilary's "slow" 2006, it would still put her pretty high on this list.

Forbes Top-Earning Stars under 21 years of age:

01. Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen (20) - $40 million
02. Daniel Radcliffe (17) - $13 million
03. Lindsay Lohan (20) - $6 million
04. Dakota Fanning (13) - $4 million
05. Amanda Bynes (20) - $2.5 million
06. Hayden Panettiere (17) - $2 million
07. Vanessa Hudgens (18) - $2 million
08. Abigail Breslin (10) - $1.5 million
09. Tyler James Williams (14) - $1.2 million
10. Jojo (16) - $1 million
