Miranda Taylor Cosgrove was born on May 14, 1993 in Los Angeles, California USA, of French, English and Irish descent. The actress and singer is perhaps best known for playing Carly in the TV series “iCarly” first aired in 2007.
So how rich is Miranda Cosgrove? Sources have estimated that Miranda has a net worth of $7 million, much of it accumulated from her role in “iCarly”, for which she is reputed to have been paid $180,000 per episode.
Miranda Cosgrove’s father Tom ran his own dry cleaning business, and her mom Chris was a homemaker; as an only child, she was home-schooled, and only decided to go to the University of Southern California in 2012. Miranda had no real say in the start of her career in the entertainment business: apparently she was a three year-old child prodigy performing in a restaurant when a talent agent noticed her and offered the young lady the chance to become a model, to which her mom agreed. Miranda Cosgrove’s net worth began growing then, appearing on screen as a commercial model including in McDonalds and Mello Yello commercials, after which Miranda decided that she liked acting and wanted to continue her career.
It was in 2001 when Miranda Cosgrove had her first big role on TV, becoming a member of the cast of “Smallville”. Her first significant role in a movie was as Summer Heathway in “School of Rocks”, released in 2003, but the film also gained 91% on Rotten Tomatoes scores. For the record though, Miranda was highly praised for her acting in this movie, viewed as a very charming girl, having a great ability to combine her talents of acting and singing. Miranda Cosgrove’s first starring role was in 2004 as Megan Parker in the Nickledeon TV series “Drake and Josh”. Miranda increased her net worth in 2005 while acting in “Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie”, a Disney film. She is also famous for appearances in many TV series, with her credits including “Zoey 101”, “Kenan & Kel”, “Drake & Josh”, and “The Amanda Show”. From 2007 to 2012, Miranda increased her net worth significantly with income from the sitcom “iCarly”. In fact, in 2010, Miranda Cosgrove was labelled as the highest-paid TV actress, and this is because of the aforementioned salary per episode of “iCarly”. There are no doubts Miranda Cosgrove’s net worth is still growing, as she has also appeared in such TV series as “Lilo & Stitch: The Series”, “What`s New, Scooby-Doo?”, “Just Jordan”, “Unfabulous”, “The Naked Brothers Band”, and “The Good Wife”. In particular, Miranda Cosgrove took a leading role in the TV series “Girlfriend in a Coma”.
What is also significant is that Miranda Cosgrove has appeared in such movies as “Yours, Mine and Ours”, “The Wild Stallion”, “Keeping up with the Steins”, “Despicable Me”, “Big Time Christmas”, and “Training Wheels”. Her most recent project in the film industry is the movie called The Intruders, released in 2014, all adding to her net worth.
In her personal life, Miranda Cosgrove has no known romantic affiliation. She is a supporter of medical research in children’s health issues, visiting various children’s hospitals, plus supporting charities Education Through Music and Light the Night Walk, an organization that creates awareness of blood cancer and leukemia.

|---|
| 1 | Sometimes I get kind of bored if I go like a month or so and I'm not doing anything. At first I'm like, 'Cool, I'll have a little time off and I'll get to hang out with friends,' but then after a little while goes by I'm like, 'Oh,' and I really wish that I could go back and start doing work again. |
| 2 | When I was 5, I started taking singing lessons, and then, after 'School of Rock,' I started taking guitar lessons. I would always write songs and play them for my friends, and I would play my guitar on the set a lot. |
| 3 | Even with college, the reason I wanted to go so badly is because I wanted to major in film. I want to take screenwriting classes and learn more about behind the scenes stuff, because I love people like Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig who are able to write a lot of their own material and be so involved in everything they do. |
| 4 | I had to take the driver's test twice. And they don't make you parallel park anymore, but you can't hit the curb when you're backing up. And I hit the curb. |
| 5 | I love making 'iCarly' - it's so much fun, and I love getting the script every week and not really knowing what insane thing I'm going to be doing. It's just like an adventure every episode; that's really fun. |
| 6 | I'm lucky because my two best friends are from kindergarten so they never thought that it was a big deal that I was in acting; they don't even ever talk about it. They still act all confused, like, 'What's going on?' when we go places and people come up to me. |
| 7 | My friends and I have always loved the Neutrogena brand and their ability to help inspire confidence. So when I found out I was actually going to be part of the Neutrogena family, I was really excited. |
| 8 | I love getting my nails done. My mom's best friend is a manicurist. When I was little, she'd do little paintings on my nails, like flowers. She comes to our house. It's the best. |
| 9 | I feel like I hadn't given that many classic films, like, a really good chance. I watched 'Casablanca' a really long time ago when I was like, 12. I didn't like it that much, and then when I saw it again in class, I loved it. |
| 10 | With the 'iCarly' soundtrack, I didn't get to write any of the songs. I just picked songs that meant a lot to me that I really liked. |
| 11 | I like James Franco. I think he's really cute. I remember a while ago there was a rumor going around that he was getting married and all my friends and I were freaking out. Yeah, I think he's cute! |
| 12 | I've had journals ever since I was really little. Sometimes I write poems and stuff, but for the most part I write down what happens to me during the day that I don't want to forget. So I have books filled with little things like that. |
| 13 | My parents never said I had to be 16 to date, but that has been the rule for all my friends. |
| 14 | My room is never clean. I play 'Guitar Hero' all the time and throw things around my room. |
| 15 | Some of my favorite movies are just movies that are just good stories, and aren't necessarily big budget movies or anything. |
| 16 | The first time someone called me a role model, I remember thinking, 'What does that mean?' But I feel aware of it when I'm reading scripts. |
| 17 | My ideal guy would be funny and fun to be around. |
| 18 | I've seen all the Judd Apatow movies, and I'd love to have a really funny little part in one of them some day. |
| 19 | I've only had one serious boyfriend, but we dated for three years. |
| 20 | I've feel like I've been doing TV shows most of my life. |
| 21 | I've been acting for a while, but theater is pretty different. I've never been in a play. |
| 22 | I'm a big tandem bike rider... I've had a tandem bike since I was 12, and I wanna be a competitive tandem bike rider one day. |
| 23 | I love theater. Like, every time I go to New York, I see a play. |
| 24 | I really love music but I've always wanted to act. |
| 25 | I want to go to college, and I want to keep acting and singing. |
| 26 | I think the Beatles are a lot of people's favorite band. |
| 27 | I love getting my nails done. My mom's best friend is a manicurist. When I was little, she'd do little paintings on my nails, like flowers. |
| 28 | I do text a lot. Sometimes, at night, my thumbs hurt because I've texted so much, so I definitely text too much. |
| 29 | My two best friends have gone through break-ups that were really hard, and I remember thinking, 'How could this be so hard and important to them?' Literally for months they were really upset and they couldn't get over it. I had no idea what it was like. And now that I've been through it, I totally understand. |
| 30 | Growing up, my next door neighbor was my best friend and an only child too. |
| 31 | I like the old, classic scary movies. I love 'Psycho,' 'The Sixth Sense,' and 'Poltergeist.' |
| 32 | A big part of why I wanted to go to college is to meet people and make friends. |
| 33 | I don't have any siblings, but I have best friends that I have known since kindergarten that I'm protective of. If they call me and tell me someone was mean to them at school - I want to go to school and be mean to that person and try to stand up for them. |
| 34 | My mom is a really good cook. I didn't get the cooking gene, but she cooks this really amazing dinner every Christmas, and that's always really fun. |
| 35 | I love entertaining and making people laugh. It's my favorite thing to do. |
| 36 | I'm more into, like, colour than, like, the type of car and stuff. I don't know much about cars, so I'm just more into picking the right color. |
| 37 | It scared my mom to death when all my friends started driving. She always told me she wanted me to drive, but I think she kind of felt lucky that I didn't get my permit when all my friends did. I think that's been the hardest thing for her, watching me go out with my friends and literally drive away. |
| 38 | I'm on the Web a lot. I like to play games online. Sometimes I play Sims. |
| 39 | My dad went to USC and it always had been very important to me and my family. |
| 40 | I do home schooling. I went to regular school until fifth grade, and then I started doing home schooling, which it's completely different. I have a teacher on set with me and I just work with her, one-on-one. |
| 41 | Everybody in L.A. wants to be an actor. I just wish I could meet somebody who doesn't act or sing. |
| 42 | I write songs all the time in my room. I play them for my friends and family. |
| 43 | I love entertaining people and making them laugh. It's my favorite thing to do. |
| 44 | I'm not that rebellious. There's a part of me that wishes I was that. |
| 45 | I want to get the message out that everybody can make a difference. |
| 46 | As far as movies, I love 'The Notebook.' I always say that I wish I could play Rachel McAdams' character. She's amazing. That's the movie every girl wants to be in. |
| 47 | I definitely have guys that I'm friends with that I have a crush on, and you don't want to ruin the friendship. |
