Every day, stories about celebrities living their best lives surface, giving the rest of us a serious case of FOMO. It goes without saying that stars pull in the big bucks, and that affords them all the fun and frivolous things that we’re not-so-secretly jealous about. But you know what really gives us a case of covet? The fact that the children of those celebs are also more affluent than the average working adult. So, we decided to take a look at some of the richest celebrity kids in Hollywood (and a few little royals, in Kensington Palace).
Think about it: These kids have access to the kind of money that most of us only ever dreamed of in the Richie Rich version of our lives — you know, the alternate reality you imagined as a child where you lived in a mansion, practically had a swimming pool full of crispy 100 dollar bills and could always buy every high-tech toy before it hit the market. Still waiting on that to pan out? Yeah, us too.
However, thanks to their parents’ fame, celebrity offspring really do have the kind of endless checking accounts 12-year-old-you dreamed of. (Oh, who are we kidding? We still dream about that.) If it makes you feel any better, some of these celebrity mini-mes are forging their own path into fame and already making their own bank.
From Hollywood royalty like Suri Cruise to actual royalty like Kate Middleton and Prince William’s three, here are some of the richest celebrity kids.
A version of this article was previously published in July 2020.
When you have Melinda and Bill Gates as parents, it’s safe to say you’re set for life. Despite keeping a low profile over the years, Jennifer Katharine, Ryan John and Phoebe Adele Gates come from two of the wealthiest people in the world. With their father Bill’s net worth of $118 Billion and their mother Melinda’s net worth of $70 Billion, they never have to worry about finances.
Per Celebrity Net Worth, each of the kids already has a net worth of $20 million.
Everything for the Alves-McConaughey is alright, alright, alright (sorry we had to!) But seriously, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’ kids are so young but already so set for life. Levi, Vida, and Livingston will probably be set with their parents’ fortune, especially if you combine McConaughey’s $160 Million fortune with Alves’s $5 million net worth.
While Hollywood’s future generations are sitting pretty when it comes to inheritance, they may not be able to hold a candle to Britain’s mini-monarchy. Namely, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. On paper, dad Prince William is worth an estimated $30 million and mom Kate Middleton an estimated $10 million. It’s more complex than that, though. The royal family rules over sixteen realms and, as such, their wealth is a lot like an iceberg: What we see on the surface probably only hints at what’s beneath.
Over the course of roughly two years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have added to their precious little family with Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor! Since taking a step back from duties as senior members of the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have gone into new business ventures. Thanks to deals with Spotify and Netflix, Meghan and Harry have a combined net worth of $120 million, with each boasting $60 million.
When your dad is Tom Cruise and your mom is Katie Holmes, you’re pretty much set for life. Granted, Suri reportedly doesn’t have much of a relationship with her dad anymore. However, it’s assumed she still see some of his $600 million net worth. Then there’s mama Katie, whose net worth of $25 million is nothing to balk at. With numbers like that, it’s little wonder that Celebrity Net Worth speculates that Suri’s own net worth is half a mil.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West are living the high life. Are you ready for this? As of 2021, dad Kanye’s net worth is a reported $6.6 billion thanks to his award-winning music and fashion ventures, the most recent of which was his high-profile Yeezy collab with Adidas. Then there’s Kim, whose net worth is now at $1.4 billion. And, TBH, that number only stands to spike exponentially in coming years. In addition to her role on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kimmie stays busy with her growing lifestyle empire that includes an app, fragrances, makeup and her super-popular SKIMS line.
Actress, singer, dancer, fashion designer, TV producer, entrepreneur, businesswoman… you name it, and Jennifer Lopez probably does it. In fact, it’s almost hard to believe her net worth isn’t more than $400 million based on her constantly growing resume. Still, $400 million is amazing. When paired with ex-husband Marc Anthony’s estimated net worth of $80 million, their kids’ Max and Emme’s future kingdom sits at roughly half a billion.
We all know the eldest of the Knowles-Carter kids is a little boss (and the twins are already following in their big sister Blue Ivy’s footsteps). They bid on pricey works of art at auction. They have her own staff, including a personal stylist, chef, and bodyguards. And all of that is barely a drop in the bucket for their loaded parents — mom Beyonce has an estimated net worth of $500 million, with dad Jay-Z coming in at a cool $1.3 billion.
First of all, these three pretty much hit the parenting jackpot with Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Their mom is, well, Gwen Stefani, and their dad is an actual rockstar. How cool can you get? But they’ve also hit the literal jackpot when you think about it. Stefani’s net worth is $160 million and Rossdale’s is $45 million. Plus, the boys are being co-parented these days by their mom’s new husband Blake Shelton — and he’s probably kicking in some of his estimated $100 million net worth.
In the Jolie-Pitt household, Mom and Dad’s estate would have to be split six ways. However, there seems to be plenty of wealth to go around. Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie has an estimated net worth of $120 million and actor Brad Pitt has an estimated net worth of 300 million. And with a combined estimated net worth of $420 million, it’s little wonder they tend to splurge where their kids are concerned — for Zahara’s princess party, they reportedly paid $20,000.
It’s one thing to have actress Salma Hayek as your mother. On her own, Hayek has an estimated net worth of $200 million. But Valentina Pinault has a one-two punch of parental wealth — her dad is French businessman Franςois-Henri Pinault, and he’s worth an estimated $7 billion! Couple that with the fact that Valentina looks just like her mom, and she’s pretty much winning all around.
If we’re really being honest, it’s sort of hard to believe that Madonna’s eldest child Lourdes is all grown up and into the modeling industry. We’ve watched her grow up before our very eyes! What’s even cooler is that Lourdes isn’t keen on living off of her iconic mom’s estimated $850 million net worth — she’s investing in her future with collaborations with Stella McCartney, Adidas, and more.
As the daughter of late musician Michael Jackson, Paris Jackson’s life has never exactly been ordinary. But it was thrown into major chaos in 2009 when her dad unexpectedly passed away. In the time since, Paris has grown into a beautiful young adult who models, acts and occasionally speaks out about mental health issues. Her late father’s estate is estimated at $500 million, and Paris has an estimated net worth of $100 million.
You know what we love about Willow and Jaden Smith? They actually rejected their parents’ nepotism in the beginning. When Jada and Will pushed their kids toward fame, Willow and Jaden pushed back. They forged their own paths. Today, Jaden is an actor, singer and humanitarian. Sis Willow is also a musician, and she co-hosts her mom’s Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk. But even if these two didn’t work, they’d fare fine — Jada has an estimated net worth of $50 million and Will’s is $350 million.
As of 2022, Jaden already boasts a net worth on his own of $8 million with Willow’s being close behind at a net worth of $6 million.
With parents as charismatic as Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, we feel confident that twins Monroe and Moroccan Cannon could very well become famous of their own accord one day. For now, though, they’re well taken care of by their wealthy mom and dad. Iconic songstress and entrepreneur that she is, Carey’s net worth sits at $320 million, while dad Cannon’s comes in at $20 million.
When your dad is the co-founder of Reddit and a tech entrepreneur and your mom is one of the greatest tennis players and athletes of all time, along with being a fashion mogul, you should pretty much be set for life. Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. is truly the apple of her parents’ eyes. Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian totally dote on little Olympia, and they’ve definitely ensured she’s set for the future. Williams’ net worth is estimated at a cool $210 million, while Ohanian’s is $40 million.
Young mama Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott were able to keep the birth and pregnancy of their baby girl, Stormi Webster, a secret. What’s not so secret is that they are definitely ensuring that Stormi has a lot to work with in life. As a reality TV star and makeup mogul, Jenner has an estimated worth of $700 million. Scott, a rapper and music mogul, boasts roughly $50 million.
UK sweethearts David and Victoria Beckham don’t try to hide the fact that they adore their kids. They take them on cool trips, give them incredible gifts (we’re still jealous of all the Harry Potter Lego worlds dad David has been helping to build), throw them $200,000 birthday parties. And, hey, if they want to indulge their kids, why not? They’re both worth an estimated $450 million, so they’ve got the goods to back it up.
When your mom drops a reported $35,000 on your nursery, you know you’re a kid who’s “well-off.” Such is the case with Max Bratman, whose mom is pop icon Christina Aguilera, worth an estimated $160 million, and whose dad is a music producer and former partner Jordan Bratman, worth roughly $15 million. The same can be said for Aguilera’s other child, Summer Rutler, her child with her current fiance Matt Rutler.
As the children of Elton John and David Furnish, Zachary and Elijah Furnish-John are effectively set for life. John has an estimated net worth of $500 million, and Furnish has an estimated net worth of $50 million. I mean, rumor has it the couple dropped a hefty $2 million to transform an entire apartment adjacent to their L.A. home into the nursery of Zachary’s dreams. So, yeah, these kids stand to inherit a sizable estate. Let’s be real, though… having Elton John as a dad? Priceless.
When it comes to his kids, there is no expense Sean “Diddy” Combs won’t go to in order to make his brood happy. Six-figure sports cars, blow-out birthday bashes — you name it, and he’s probably done it for his children. Don’t worry, though; he can swing it. Per Celebrity Net Worth, Combs’ net worth is just shy of one billion dollars ($900 to be precise).
Have you seen how precious Rachel Zoe’s sons Skyler and Kaius are? We die! That’s not all these budding style superstars (Skyler has a designer bag collection worth swooning over) have going for them, either. Their fashion stylist mom has an estimated net worth of $30 million, so these two will likely amass an impressive closet full of upscale labels before they’re teens.
