Let’s admit it: life is weird. While the majority of the planet’s population is either poor, struggles every month to pay their bills, or even both, others never had a clue what poverty is. One of the reasons is that some of these latter folks were born into rich families.
Some people say that money won’t buy you happiness. We’re not here to contradict them, but the complete lack of money will surely make you feel miserable.
It’s time to learn about some families where the members were born rich. We’re not saying that these people never had to work for money, however.
The Shields Family
Brooke Shields has royal blood and a passion for acting. One of her grandmothers was a princess. Brooke is also related to King Henry IV. Having a net worth of $40 million, we can surely say that Brooke Shields is not poor at all.
Francis Alexander Shields, the father of Brooke, worked at Revlon Cosmetics as an executive.
The Hadid Family
Gigi Hadid, one of the two sisters in this family, is one of the best-paid models. Her net worth is somewhere around $29 million. Bella, the sister of Gigi, received the ‘Model of the Year’ designation from the GQ back in 2016, and her estimated net worth is about $25 million.
The Kardashian family
Kim Kardashian is the wealthiest of her entire family. She’s clearly a billionaire, having a net worth of $1.8 billion. Kim is well-known as a businesswoman who makes her money mainly due to her share in the KKW Beauty cosmetic brand, as well as the shapewear brand Skims.
The Kroll family
If you’ve heard about the ‘Kroll Show, surely you’re well aware of the life of Nick Kroll. He is active in plenty of fields, working as an actor, television producer, comedian, voice actor, and even screenwriter. Nick’s net worth is $18 million.
His father, Jules B. Kroll, was both an inventor and a businessman. He invented the entire modern corporate investigation industry in the ‘70s. He even gathered a net worth of $2 billion at some point.
The Gyllenhaal Family
Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal are brother and sister, and they’re both actors, like their parents. You may remember Maggie from The Dark Knight, as she played Rachel, the girlfriend of Bruce Wayne/Batman. Maggie earns $500,000 per movie. She has a net worth of $15 million, while her brother Jake has a net worth of $80 million.
Stephen Gyllenhaal, the father, is a film director and also a poet. The mother, Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal, is a screenwriter who was nominated for an Oscar.
The Grande family
Surely you must have heard about Ariana Grande as well. She’s mainly a singer, being best known for hits like Into You, Break Free, Problem, and more. Her musical talent and beauty helped her to become famous pretty fast. Ariana is also a songwriter and an actress.
Ariana has been rich since she was a child. Her father is Edward Butera, a guy who’s the CEO at Ibi Designs. Her mother is also the CEO of a communications company.
Let’s all be honest on this one: having money entering your bank account without having to do almost anything for them is the dream of many of us.
All of the celebrities listed here have also achieved some level of their success through their own endeavors, not only due to legacies from their families.
