Miranda Cosgrove

Miranda Cosgrove is a bubbly and talented actress, singer, and producer who has been stealing hearts since childhood. With many years passing, Miranda tried it all: acting in series, singing songs, and even hosting some educative shows to show off in every nook and corner of the world of entertainment. 

Miranda also lends her voice to Margo in the Despicable Me movies, further proving she can shine both on screen and behind the mic. After more than 20 years in the business, Miranda has picked up the awards, fans, and respect as one of Hollywood's brightest stars.  

Rumors, Romances, and Keeping It Private 

Miranda Cosgrove has not been spared from dating speculations, but she has always been a pro in keeping her personal life in a low-key manner. In the late 2000s, there were rumors of her and Naked Brothers Band star Nat Wolff. They were really close from 2009 to 2011. Miranda later came clear with speculations that they were merely good friends. 

Also at that time, rumors paired her up with Big Time Rush hunk James Maslow. Fun fact: Miranda spilled that her first kiss was on an episode of iCarly, and it was with James! She was also rumored to have dated Max Ehrich in 2010, but both stars kept insisting they were just friends. 

Other names that have cropped up in connection with her include Noah Centineo and David Archuleta, but those rumors never seemed to stick. Nowadays, Miranda is said to be single, concentrating on her career and personal growth, and staying happily out of all the dating drama. 

From a Talented Toddler to a Hollywood Star

Miranda Cosgrove was born on May 14, 1993, in sunny Los Angeles, California, as the single child of Tom and Chris Cosgrove. With a mix of Irish, English, and French background in her veins, her big opportunity came at an age when she was barely three and singing and dancing at some restaurant when the talent agent found her. 

Soon, she found herself acting in commercials for big names like McDonald's and Burger King, though little did she know, it was just the beginning of her Hollywood journey. Despite rising fame, her parents made sure education came first. Miranda started being homeschooled in the sixth grade so she could balance acting and schoolwork, but she still found time to hang out with friends. 

Later in her educational life, she attended Southern California University initially for film then changed her course to major in psychology. With this supportive parent and her diligent work ethic, she catapulted into the league of most paid child stars in Hollywood - from being with hits such as iCarly to School of Rock. 

Miranda Cosgrove-An Allrounder Star 

The career of Miranda Cosgrove started when she was just a little kid, and she hasn't stopped shining. First, she appeared in several commercials, including for such popular brands as McDonald's and Burger King, before showing her acting skills in School of Rock. 

She played bossy but lovable Summer Hathaway against Jack Black in that movie, which became an instant box office hit. She then turned into a Nickelodeon star with Megan Parker in Drake & Josh and afterward as Carly Shay in the super-hit series iCarly. The show was so well-liked that it even saw a revival on Paramount+ from 2021 to 2023. 

Along the way, she voiced Margo in the Despicable Me movies and indulged her love of music, releasing her own EP Sparks Fly. Today, Miranda continues to dazzle with roles in films like Mother of the Bride and as the host of the Emmy-nominated Mission Unstoppable.  

Hobbies That Keep Her Grounded and Happy 

Miranda Cosgrove enjoys a number of unusual hobbies that really bring out her fun-loving and caring side. She is an avid animal lover and dedicates her free time to supporting rescue organizations like Kitten Rescue LA and Love Leo Rescue. Miranda has fostered- let's just say tons of dogs and cats, something she describes as very grounding and a very fulfilling feeling. 

In her free time, when she is not saving animals, Miranda enjoys being outdoors and hiking with friends through the beautiful trails around Los Angeles. That is how she likes to keep fit and release some tension after busy days. She loves singing and playing guitar while listening to a wide range of musical genres, from Katy Perry to The Beatles. 

Though she says cooking isn't her thing, Miranda makes up for it by being a total foodie, exploring cool restaurants and new cuisines. She spends her downtime watching movies in theaters and reading To Kill a Mockingbird among other favorite books.  

Miranda Cosgrove's Coming Projects

Miranda Cosgrove is working on some exciting things, especially for fans of the show iCarly. Recently, she teased some upcoming projects tied to the iconic series, hinting it could be a movie to tie up loose ends left when the revival was suddenly canceled. 

Miranda said that fans might finally get some closure on the romance storyline of Carly and Freddie, and they can also look forward to seeing some familiar faces. Still being very tight-lipped about it, she promised it's something fans will be "super excited" about. As for what's in store after iCarly, Miranda has been busy with live-action and animated films. 

She'll star in Netflix's rom-com, The Wrong Paris, opposite Pierson Fode, set to be released in 2024. And if that wasn't all, she's even back voicing Margo in Despicable Me 4. From this, Miranda continues to flex her staying power in Hollywood, and she is far more than a childhood star. So, fans, ready your eyes for huge things in the pipeline. 

Miranda Cosgrove's Amazing Net Worth

As of 2023, Miranda Cosgrove's net worth is an astonishing $10 million! Much of her financial success can be credited to her early acting career, especially her starring role as Carly Shay in iCarly. For this show, Miranda received a fat pay of $180,000 per episode, making her one of the highest-paid child stars ever. Not bad for a teen making us laugh on Nickelodeon, right? 

But that is not all, as voice acting in the Despicable Me films as Margo and a foray into music and endorsements brought in big bucks. All the same, she's bounced back stronger than ever after a car accident saw her work paused for a little time. 

At 19, she made an investment in a beautiful LA home, bought for 2.65 million and now estimated at $4-5 million. With talent, an investment like that, and still-ongoing projects, Miranda Cosgrove proved she's not just a star but also a money-making machine.
