Most of people will never make $1 million in our lifetimes. Unfortunately, that is simply the
reality.
However, for others to becoming a millionaire is almost instantaneous at
birth.
How do these kids get so lucky? Most of them are heirs/heiresses to
massive fortunes or are iconic child stars.
Whatever the reason for their
wealth, these kids are living the high life with the kind of money that most of
us will never see. In fact, one of the kids playing at your neighborhood park
might just have a higher net worth than you. That’s a sobering thought, isn’t
it?
We found 10
of the richest kids in the world. Some of these kids may inspire you, others
may frustrate you, and a few may leave you wishing that you were born into a
different family altogether.
Who are these spoiled kids? Here’s our list,
starting with a young entrepreneur who found success in technology while he was
still in middle school.
10 – Jaylen
Bledsoe ($3.5 Million)
Jaylen-Bledsoe-ImageThere
are only two entrepreneurs on our list, as the other kids either have very
wealthy parents or are in the entertainment industry.
The first entrepreneur is
Jaylen Bledsoe, who started Bledsoe Technologies when he was only 13 years old.
He became a millionaire within just two years of launching his company. Bledsoe
Technologies specializes in both information technology and graphic design, and
expanded quickly with over 100 people hired in the first 24 months.
Now that
Bledsoe is a millionaire, he has started to invest in some other business
ventures and has even opened up a couple more of his own companies.
Bledsoe is
still just a teenager and it looks like the sky is the limit. To make some cash
on the side, Bledsoe is touring from city to city and giving motivational
speeches to other teens that are in need of some direction.
Bledsoe is a great
example of why you should pursue your dreams, no matter what your age.
9 – Rico
Rodriguez ($4 Million)
Rico
Rodriguez-ImageRico Rodriguez started acting at a very young age, but he only
played minor roles until he landed a gig on a TV show that would end up
becoming a smash hit, “Modern Family.
The sitcom has been a huge success for
ABC, and Rico is a big part of that success as he gives “Modern Family” an even
broader appeal.
Rodriguez
has earned $4 million as an actor, and most of that wealth came from “Modern
Family.
His net worth is about to get even larger as Rico will be the star of
a movie called “El Americano” that comes out later this year. If Rico keeps
this up, he could easily end up as the face of comedy about a decade or so down
the road.
#8 – Elle
Fanning ($5 Million)
Elle-Fanning-ImageElle
Fanning is the younger sister of fellow actress Dakota Fanning, who has
appeared in many major films over her long career.
Elle just turned 17 in April
of 2015, so she’s still technically a kid for another year. Elle started her
acting career as a toddler when she played the role of the younger version of
her sister in “I Am Sam.
Throughout her childhood, Elle got loss work than her
sister, but she’s still had a lot of success.
Some of the
more notable films that Elle has been a part of include “Babel”
The Curious
Case of Benjamin Button”, and “Maleficent”. Elle has acted in nine movies that
are still being edited and are scheduled to be released over the course of the
next two years.
It looks like the Fanning sisters are here to stay.
#7 – Jaden
Smith ($8 Million)
Jaden-Smith-ImageJaden
Smith is both a child actor and a child of millionaires. He is the son of Will
Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Jaden is only 16 years old, but he’s been in the
film industry for nearly a decade now.
He got his start in “The Pursuit of Happyness”
alongside his father. Jaden has also gotten into the music industry, mostly in
rap.
Jaden has
only been in a handful of films, but he played major roles in all of them. His
other movies include:
The Day the Earth Stood Still”, “The Karate Kid”, and
“After Earth”.
The latter of the three didn’t do so well at the box office,
mainly because a lot of people felt like Jaden was being forced down our
throats by his dad.
Oh well, the kid probably isn’t bothered too much by
peoples opinions since he’s worth $8 million.
#6 – Abigail
Breslin ($12 Million)
Abigail-Breslin-ImageAbigail
Breslin is still in her teens, and her acting career has already been longer
than most actors in Hollywood. Breslin started out making commercials and
landed her first big role in the film “Signs” with Mel Gibson.
Breslin has
landed steady work ever since and has appeared in hit movies such as “Little
Miss Sunshine” and “Zombieland”. Her talent in “Little Miss Sunshine” even
earned her an Academy Award nomination.
It’s highly
possible that we will see Breslin in the richest actresses list down the road,
but it may be a little early to tell for certain.
She recently played the
starring roles in the films “Maggie” and “Final Girl”, both of which will soon
be released. Breslin will also be starring in the upcoming television show,
“Scream Queens”.
#5 –
Valentina Paloma Pinault ($12 Million)
Valentina-Paloma-Pinault-ImageValentina
Paloma Pinault is the daughter of the famous actress, Salma Hayek, and
corporate executive, Francois Henri Pinault.
While Valentina’s net worth is
only listed at $12 million, she is in line to inherit a lot more than that from
her wealthy parents. There is no known trust fund for Valentina, so her only
known asset is a $12 million home that was placed in her name.
If that seems
like a big deal for a 7 year old, just wait until you learn about what her
parents are worth.
Salma Hayek
has a net worth of $85 million from her long and successful acting career. But
Hayek’s $85 million is nothing compared to her Pinault’s fortune, as he is
estimated to be worth $15 billion.
He is the current Chairman of Kering in
France, and serves as a board member for two other companies. There is no doubt
that little Valentina will do just fine when she grow up, even if she decides
to never work a day in her life.
#4 – Nick
D’aloisio ($30 Million)
Nick-D-aloisio-ImageThe
other entrepreneur on our list is Nick D’aloisio, who checks in with a net
worth of $30 million. D’aloisio is one of the youngest self-made millionaires
of all time.
In 2012, D’aloisio created Summly, an app that summarizes news
articles and condenses them down into much smaller reads. With the app, users
can easily stay up-to-date with current news and events.
Apple named
Summly the best app of 2012, which boosted even more revenue with eyes turning
to D’aloisio for his incredible invention.
D’aloisio later sold the app to
Yahoo! for $30 million to focus on completing his schooling. You can now find
the millionaire at King’s College in the United Kingdom where he continues to
work for Yahoo! as a manager.
We presume that Yahoo! will offer D’aloisio a
much larger role within the company after he graduates.
#3 –
Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead ($59 Million)
Dannielynn-Hope-Marshall-Birkhead-ImageDannielynn
is the daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith, who had $10 million in net worth
when she passed away.
As the heiress to her mother’s wealth, Dannielynn
received all of it, and was able to get nearly $49 million more in another
lawsuit on her mother’s behalf.
While Anna
Nicole Smith was alive, she was married to J. Howard Marshall, who was a
billionaire in the oil industry and 63 years her senior.
When Marshall passed
away shortly after their marriage, Smith got into a legal battle over
Marshall’s estate with his family, who considered her to be a gold digger.
Although Smith did not win Marshall’s entire net worth, she was awarded enough
to set aside for Dannielynn. Marshall’s estate will leave $49 million for
Dannielynn, enough money to last her entire life.
#2 – Knox
& Vivienne Jolie Pitt ($67.5 Million)
Knox-Vivienne-Jolie-Pitt-ImageKnox
and Vivienne are the twins of Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
The
couple has adopted quite a few children over the years, but Knox and Vivienne
are rumored to have the biggest financial futures out of all of their siblings.
With parents who are among the highest earners in the money-packed
entertainment industry, the twins have a large trust fund set up, and they even
had a part in establishing it.
When the
twins were born, the paparazzi was biting tooth and nail to see what the
newborns looked like.
The couple sold pictures of the twins to People Magazine,
which brought in a lot of money that Angelina and Brad put aside for the twins
future.
Paying millions for baby pictures sounds strange since no one really
cares to see peoples babies on Facebook. Brangelina’s babies are the exception
to that rule.
#1 – Prince
George Alexander Louis ($1 Billion)
Prince-George-Alexander-Louis-ImagePrince
George Alexander Louis is not even two years old and he’s already a
billionaire.
That’s because George Alexander is the son of Prince William and
Kate Middleton.
George Alexander is third in line to the throne in the United
Kingdom, and being a royal obviously has its perks.
The Crown
Estate is set in place for those who are in line to the throne and that alone
will give Prince George Alexander more than $5 billion in property assets.
He
will also receive $400 million per year in other assets to make sure that he is
well taken care of over the course of his life.
There will be a lot of pressure
on the billionaire baby as he grows up in front of the public’s eye, so we’ll
see if he handles it as well as his father did.
