Miley Cyrus

Star’s Net Worth: $160 million*
Annual Protection Cost: $1 million*

As one of the world’s most recognized music artists, Miley Cyrus has had security guards on call around the clock since she was a teenager and appeared on the Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana. Cyrus’ father, Billy Ray, is also a country music star, so she is no used to hordes of adoring fans swarming around her and her family. Cyrus increased the size of her security team in 2019, and it was a good thing she did because her stalker was apprehended at the iHeartFestival just a few days after. The stalker was discovered by Cyrus’ bodyguards when he was in the audience at the Festival, and they quickly alerted authorities, who apprehended him and took him into custody. To everyone’s relief, no one was seriously injured.

Cheryl Cole

Star’s Net Worth: $40 million*
Annual Protection Cost: $80,000 per year*

Cheryl Cole is a former music star who now serves as a reality television judge. Since she has established an enormous following through her music and media appearances, it should come as no surprise that she has engaged substantial security to keep her safe from any potential damage. Cole, according to Sharon Osbourne, her fellow X Factor judge, requires a bodyguard in order to “keep males away.” Cole has been pictured alongside members of her security squad, albeit they maintain a low-profile overall. Craig Balkam, one of her former bodyguards, was reportedly compensated in the neighborhood of $80,000 for his services. The bodyguard, according to a friend of Balkam, “would have taken a bullet for [Cole].”
