Miley Cyrus Pays Cash for New Mercedes

Although Miley Cyrus has not been in the public eye much since leaving Hannah Montana (minus some inappropriate photos that hit the internet), the girl still comes out of hiding once and a while to do a little shopping. Proving Hannah Montana provided her with a decent paycheck, Cyrus recently went to purchase a luxury car. As a gift to herself, Cyrus, 19, purchased a $127,000 Mercedes-Benz convertible, according to the New York Daily News.

The actress and singer paid in cash – because she can – for a white 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL550. Perhaps this was a way to draw different press. The news provider reports earlier that same week, Cyrus was photographed at her boyfriend's birthday party posing provocatively with a phallic cake.

TMZ reports that once the entertainer decided to purchase the vehicle, she wasted no time enjoying her new ride. The actress chose to drive the new Mercedes home that same day, but instead of turning in her used car, Cyrus had her bodyguard follow her back to her house in her old vehicle.

Maybe she was treating herself to a little get well present, as she tweeted earlier in the week that she injured herself while doing gymnastics.

"Cracked my tail bone doing a front flip … on to the couch. That's like when I tripped over a pillow and broke my arm," the singer tweeted, according to the news provider.

No one seems surprised that Cyrus decided to make such a lavish purchase, as the girl has always had a penchant for luxury vehicles. According to People Magazine, at age 16 Cyrus received a Porsche Cayenne for Christmas from her parents. Talk about a nice first car.
