Ashley Tisdale Bio, Husband, Boyfriend, Net Worth, Family Life and Quick Facts

Ashley Tisdale is one of those stars today who have Disney to thank for their success. Starting her show business career at the age of 3, Ash has grown up on our screens and transitioned really well into adulthood.

Her first taste of fame came with her role as Maddie Fitzpatrick in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Her next role as Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical franchise would become her signature role – many of her fans still struggle with seeing her differently from that character, a challenge that has made her appreciate her production company Blondie Productions where she gets to create anything.

In recent years, Tisdale has been more active behind the scenes but manages to take up some roles when time permits her. Some of her recent gigs include; TV series Clipped (2015) and film Amateur Night (2016).

Tisdale’s career launched when she was 3 years old after she met a certain Bill Perlman at a mall. Perlman would become her long-time manager helping her land over 100 commercial gigs.

Net Worth

Ashley Tisdale’s net worth is estimated at $10 million.
