No one could have guessed just how successful this musical television film would be. After its release in 2006, it became the most successful film that Disney Channel Original Movie had ever released. There were 7.7 million viewers for its premiere broadcast, and the soundtrack reached the top of the U.S. music charts. The musical phenomenon spawned 2 sequels; High School Musical 2 released in 2007, and the feature film High School Musical 3: Senior Year released to theaters in 2008. And while the modern retelling of the classic Romeo and Juliet tale was not received well by critics, the fans have spoken and have embraced the film’s young stars ever since. This list takes a look at just how much those actors have come to be worth:
