Celeb Heirs To Empires And Millions

Zoe Kravitz

Zoe Kravitz has certainly made a name for herself. She started making music when she was only 16 years old and has recently starred in Fantastic Beasts: The Crime of Grindelwald.

But Zoe had a taste of the celebrity life long before she entered the spotlight. She is the daughter of rockstar Lenny Kravitz, whose net worth is $40 million. In addition, Zoe’s mother, Lisa Bonet, is worth about $10 million.

Riley Keough

Riley Keough has starred in several blockbusters ever since her debut in _The Runaways_. But, if anything were to happen to her career, she’d still have an enormous fortune that would most likely support her for the rest of her life.

As the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and, therefore, granddaughter of none other than Elvis Presley, she will inherit more than $300 million. She was also in Michael Jackson‘s will, so she already inherited a good amount of money.

Balthazar Getty

Balthazar Getty, who starred in _Lord of the Flies_, was born into an insanely rich family. His great-grandfather, J. Paul Getty, founded Getty Oil, which made the Getty family’s net worth reach $5.4 billion.

Growing up, Balthazar struggled with his family’s legacy and didn’t want to be labeled as a “_rich kid_, “which was unavoidable considering he inherited a gigantic sum of money.

Spike Jonze

Spike Jonze made millions as a music video director. He later delved into the film industry, earning an Oscar nomination for Best Director. But he was already rich, to begin with.

His real name is actually Adam Spiegel, which makes him the heir of direct marketing and catalog company Spiegel, which makes $3 billion a year.

Willow & Jaden Smith

Willow and Jaden Smith both have impressive careers: they both make music and have been in several films since a very young age. But the siblings always felt as though they lived in their parents’ shadow.

Will and Jada Smith‘s shadow, however, is actually worth $280 million, so we can’t feel bad about them, can we?

Carly Simon

Carly Simon entered the spotlight during the 1970s with hit songs like _Anticipation_ and _Around Again_. But her last name carries a big fortune with it.

She was the heiress to the publishing house Simon & Schuster and got her hands on a hefty load of cash when her father passed away.

Anderson Cooper

Anderson Cooper is actually the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, heiress to the Vanderbilt fortune. In case it doesn’t ring a bell, the Vanderbilt family owned a railroad company, which was worth $100 million in 1877.

However, Cooper probably won’t see a dime of that fortune, as his mother told him ever since he was a child. But Cooper isn't bothered at all, as he makes $11 million a year as a news anchor at CNN.

Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney has amassed a net worth of $75 million as a very successful fashion designer. But, even if he hadn’t, she’d still be living an extremely luxurious life as the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney.

Stella, along with her four siblings, are in line to receive a whopping $1.2 billion as an inheritance. They’ll certainly never worry about making ends meet.

Edward Norton

Edward Norton rose to fame with his breakout role in _Primal Fear_ and has starred in many hit films ever since. He has made an estimated $70 million during his acting career, but he started off with a very nice inheritance in the first place.

Norton’s grandfather, James Rouse, founded the Rouse Company, which built one of the very first enclosed malls, and earned him a fortune. The company even developed the city of Columbia, Maryland, where Norton later grew up,

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is certainly one of the funniest women on television, which earned her a whopping 9 Emmy awards. And with the awards came a net worth of $200 million.

That $200 million, however, didn’t make a big impact on her life since she grew up in a very wealthy family. Her great-grandfather, Leopold Louis-Dreyfus, founded the Louis-Dreyfus Group, which made the family incredibly wealthy.

Nicole Richie

We all know Nicole Richie is the heiress to a big fortune because that’s what made her famous. The infamous spoiled girl rose to fame alongside Paris Hilton, starring in _The Simple Life_, a show where the girls attempted to live like _normal people_.

Richie was adopted by singer Lionel Richie and Brenda Harvey and was spoiled ever since then. Nicole got over that stage of her life and is now a fashion designer worth $5 million. And, when the time comes, she’ll get her parent’s fortune.

Chevy Chase

Chevy Chase rose to prominence as a member of _Saturday Night Live_ in the 1970s and starred in several memorable comedies such as _Caddyshack_ and _Fletch._ However, he could’ve enjoyed a comfortable life and lived off his inheritance.

Both of his parents came from very wealthy families. His father was a magazine writer and book editor, while his mother was not only a very accomplished Opera singer but also was adopted by Cornelius Vanderbilt Crane, the heir to the Crane Company.

Kate & Rooney Mara

Sisters Kate and Rooney Mara both became A-listers in Hollywood. Rooney had her breakout role in _The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo_, while Kate appeared in many memorable films, like _Brokeback Mountain_ and _We Are Marshall_.

The sisters come from one of the most prominent families in the NFL. They’re the great-granddaughters of both Art Rooney, founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Tim Mara, founder of the New York Giants, so they will most likely inherit a huge fortune.

Paris Hilton

It is no surprise that Paris Hilton made it to our list. She did make an empire on her own through several business ventures, a singing career, modeling, and reality TV, but she stepped into the spotlight as the spoiled heiress of Hilton Hotels.

Her great-grandfather, Conrad Hilton, founded Hilton Hotels, which is worth $2.3 billion. However, her once $60 million inheritance was pledged to charity, as her grandfather, Barron Hilton, believes she sullied the family name.

Ivanka Trump

Ivanka Trump was in the spotlight since the day she was born as the daughter of none other than Donald Trump, who was also born rich. However, she also made a lot of money as a businesswoman, with a net worth of $300 million.

And, she’ll be even richer in the future because she’ll receive her share from her father’s wealth, which is about $3.1 billion to be split between Ivanka and her four siblings.
