How did Ashley Tisdale become famous?
When she was just 3 years old, Tisdale caught a talent manager's eye at a New Jersey mall. She quickly started booking commercials, starring in more than 100 national TV spots before she could legally vote! When she wasn't appearing in ads for M&Ms, Best Buy and other big brands, she performed onstage in local theater and touring musical productions.
Tisdale's family eventually moved to Los Angeles to support her burgeoning acting career, and the relocation paid off: She got her first TV roles when she was 12 as a guest star on 7th Heaven and Smart Guy, dabbled in voice acting and signed with Ford Models. Over the next six years, she also guest-starred in Boston Public (nabbing a Young Artist Award for her work there) and appeared in films like the 2001 cult favorite Donnie Darko.

Tisdale's big breaks both came from Disney: In 2005, she starred in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and a year later became a full-blown star thanks to her heel turn as Sharpay Evans in High School Musical and its sequels.

"It's really awesome to be a part of these projects that have really been so prevalent in pop culture and to play these characters," she told PEOPLE. "It's just, you're like, āDang, man.ā ... I was always trying to get a Disney movie, and never got the movie. And then, I got High School Musical. Out of all the ones, I get that. This is pretty awesome!"

What is Ashley Tisdale's net worth in 2026?
Ashley Tisdale's net worth in 2026 is estimated at a cool $14 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, though the site didn't quite bring with it enough hard numbers to fully substantiate that figure.
Still, it's likely she's quite rich: She's been working since she was a literal toddler, and she's got her hand in a lot of different pots, including acting, producing, pop stardom, blogging, a beauty and wellness line, and, of course, as an influencer.
While she's super successful, Tisdale is also candid about efforts that don't work.
In her By Ashley French blog, she wrote, "I took a big step and took on running a makeup company. I raised money and officially could call myself a CEO, chasing the dream I'd held for years! I worked incredibly hard at turning it into a success, andā¦ I failed. Thatās the sort of thing that knocks you down where you find yourself crying and thinking now what?"
While the 2016 business didn't take off, she didn't let it stop her.
"The truth is, most people hit that 'now what?' wall at some point. They just donāt talk about it," she admitted. "A lot of us are pretending that we have a plan, while inside weāre terrified we missed our chance. The world is overflowing with podcasts, brands, new voices, cool people. Itās easy to look around and think, Why even bother? Thereās nothing left for me to add.But if you listen to that voice, you won't be able to move forward."
She continued, "When I was paying back investors from my makeup business, I couldnāt see where Iād end up. I didnāt have a crystal ball to show me that I'd wind up where I am today (and I'm really happy with how things have turned out). What I know now is that itās less about having a perfect plan, and more about building practices that help you move forwardāeven when youāre unsure of whatās next. It sounds cliche but it truly is all about the journey!"

Tisdale reportedly made $2.8 million for High School Musical 3, though her salaries for the first two installments haven't been revealed. That said, we can probably estimate that they'd be around the same as co-star Zac Efron's for playing Troy Bolton. Efron reportedly made $100,000 for the first movie, then got raises for the sequels.
Tisdale may well have made even more than Efron for the franchise, as she starred in and produced her own spinoff, Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, in 2011. What's more, because she sang all of her own songs in all the films, she may have earned more than Efron did in music royalties from single and album sales.

"When I played the character of SharpayāI think it was probably what made her so funnyāwas that I truly thought [Sharpay] was the popular girl in school," she told PEOPLE. "I thought Sharpay was popular, and I played it like she was popular. And [High School Musical director] Kenny Ortega enhanced that. He really made me feel like I was popular. But what's so funny is that she's not the popular girl. She's the drama queen. And my husband's like, 'That's what's so funny about how you played it. You really thought you were popular.' "
HSM co-star Lucas Grabeel claimed that Tisdale was very good at embodying her character even when cameras weren't rolling.
"I was paired with Ashley and she really pissed me off," Grabeel later laughingly told PEOPLE. "This girl. I mean, this is why she got the jobāshe was so Sharpay. She literally, we did the scene, we came out and she's like 'Hey, so I really wanna, like, rehearse and go over it again.' "
"And I was like, 'I'm kinda good, cause I did my homework and I'm ready to go.' And she's like 'No, please,' And I'm like, 'Okay, cool,' " he recalled. "So we do the scene outside, by ourselves, and she's like 'Okay, so, when I say this line I want you to go over here and make this face. And then at this point, I'm gonna add this line and I want you to react to that.' And I'm like 'Whoa, she's giving me notes!' "
