The term "nepo baby" has become a huuuuge buzzword on the internet lately, and it's used to describe a child of a celebrity who has succeeded in their careers that are usually the same, or adjacent, to their parents.
Most recently, Ben Platt, whose father Marc Platt is an extremely successful movie and theater producer, refused to answer a question about being on the cover of New York Magazine's Nepo Baby issue.
However, there are a ton of celebrity children out there who decided to flip the switch and not follow in their parents footsteps. Here are 16 who have "normal" jobs:
