These are the 10 richest children in the world
Searching for the top 10 richest kids in the world, you can reasonably draw three conclusions. If you wish to become rich as a minor, you have three options. 1. Be born to wealthy parents. 2. Star in blockbuster Hollywood films. 3. Invent something brilliant and start your own business. A combination of the above three is, of course, also possible. It can all lead you to the path with six, or nine, zeros.
10. Jaylen Bledsoe
When he was 13, Jaylen started his company Bledsoe Technologies, a mix of information, technology, and graphic design. Two years later, he could count his first million. What makes the story even better is that Jaylen's parents were still teenagers when he was born, and his mother raised him mostly on her own.
9. Rico Rodriguez
Rico starred in Modern Family and became a sensation. He also wrote a book. That paid off well, as Rico's account shows an impressive four million dollars. He grew up in a very ordinary family in Texas where his parents had a tire shop.
8. Elle Fanning
Perhaps less known than her sister Dakota Fanning, but still a striking five million in her Silverlake account.
7. Jaden Smith
Jaden has combined two of the three above-mentioned rules, for which applause. First, he had a famous shot; that of Jada Pinkett-Smith and father Will Smith. Then he also went on to act and make music. That quickly leads to a booming account filled with eight million dollars.
6. Abigail Breslin
If your first film is with Mel Gibson, you can't go wrong financially. Then came Little Miss Sunshine (for which she even received an Oscar nomination) and Zombieland, and voilà, the total stands at twelve million.
5. Valentina Paloma Pinault
Daughter of Salma Hayek and François-Henry Pinault, the big man behind the Kering consortium, which includes the following brands: Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Boucheron, Alexander McQueen, and Stella McCartney. For now, la petite Pinault's fortune stands at twelve million (that's the value of the house in her name), but since papa is worth 7.6 billion and she is the only heir, she might add some zeros to that in the future. Unkind types around me say that Valentina Paloma doesn't quite have mamá's looks, but we'll take papa's brains too.
4. Nick D’Aloisio
Ah, another self-made millionaire. Little Nick came up with the app Summly. It creates clear (and concise!) summaries from long news articles. This way, you stay informed without having to spend hours with your nose in the newspaper. He touched thirty million with it. Hatsekiedee.
3. Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead
Do you remember Anna Nicole Smith still? Well, this is her daughter. And Anna Nicole had a little something left over from her escapades with the 86-year-old oil billionaire Howard Marshall. A bonus in the form of ten million for Anna Nicole and, albeit after a lawsuit, another 39 million for Dannielynn herself after her death.
2. Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt
No idea why Knox and Vivienne seem to be the chosen ones who inherit more than all the other Jolie-Pitts, but their estimated fortune comes to a generous 67 million.
1. Prince George Alexander Louis
Now you understand that cheerful smile of little George even better. Laughing all the way to the bank, this little knickerbocker. Per year, he is said to receive 400 million. All this to prepare him for his Great Task: to become king of England. Because as third in line to the throne, the chance that he becomes the big boss is considerable.
