16 Celebs Who Come From Extremely Wealthy And Privileged Backgrounds

Hollywood is full of "rags to riches" stories, but there are also plenty of "riches to even more riches" tales.

Here are 16 celebs who were born into seriously wealthy families:

1.Nick Kroll is the son of Jules Kroll, whom Forbes describes as "the legend behind the invention of the modern corporate investigations industry." In 2004, Jules sold his company, Kroll Inc., for $1.9 billion.

2.Riley Keough is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and the granddaughter of Elvis Presley. In 2020, the Presley estate was reportedly worth about $400–$500 million, according to Rolling Stone.

Upon Lisa Marie's death in 2023, Riley and her two younger half-sisters, Harper and Finley Lockwood, were set to inherit the estate. However, their grandmother, Priscilla Presley, challenged Lisa Marie's will.

They settled the case in May 2023, and Riley was named the sole trustee of her mother's estate (she's also the trustee of the sub-trusts that belong to her sisters, who are still children). However, she had to pay her grandmother $400,000 to cover her legal fees as well as a monthly paycheck for her new position as "Special Advisor to the Trust."

3.Bates Motel actor Nicola Peltz Beckham is the daughter of Nelson Peltz, the investor who founded Trian Fund Management. According to Forbes, his net worth is $1.5 billion.

4.Nicola's husband, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, is the son of soccer star David Beckham and singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham. In 2022, the Sunday Times estimated the Beckhams' combined net worth to be £380 million (approximately $483 million).

5.Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the daughter of Gérard Louis-Dreyfus. He served as the chief executive of the Louis-Dreyfus Group, which was founded by his great-grandfather, Léopold Louis-Dreyfus. In 2006, Forbes estimated Gérard's net worth to be $3.4 billion.

However, in 2018, Julia told the New Yorker, "The reports of my father's wealth are, in fact, greatly exaggerated in the press. He's referred to as a billionaire, and I'm referred to by some heinous term like 'billionaire heiress.' It's incorrect! My father — unfortunately — was never a billionaire. Far from it."

6.Rashida Jones is the daughter of producer Quincy Jones, who reportedly has an estimated net worth of $500 million.

7.Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal are descended from a Swedish noble family that traces back to the 1600s. Their father, director Stephen Gyllenhaal, reportedly has a net worth of $10 million.

8.Cara Delevingne is the daughter of Charles Delevingne, a property developer whose net worth is reportedly £60 million (approximately $76.1 million).

9.Steve and Devon Aoki are the children of Rocky Aoki, who founded Benihana. In 2006, he told the New Yorker that his corporation was worth "between $60 million and $100 million."

10.Oscar-nominated film producer Megan Ellison is the daughter of Larry Ellison, who founded Oracle. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $145.1 billion, making him one of the world's wealthiest people.

11.Edward Norton is the grandson of real estate developer/urban planner/philanthropist James W. Rouse, who, according to the Baltimore Sun, "had a trust fund and an estate valued at $21 million at the time of his death," not counting anything he co-owned with his wife Patricia or that he'd transferred to another person.

Along with the six other grandchildren, Edward inherited $10,500.

12.Tori Spelling is the daughter of TV and movie producer Aaron Spelling. At the time of his death, his net worth was reportedly $600 million.

In 2007, Tori and her brother Randy each inherited under $1 million, while their mom, Candy, inherited the majority of Aaron's estate.

Tori told Good Morning America, "It was a hard conversation to have with [my dad]. I didn't want him to think that I was asking him for the money, or even talking about something so morbid as when he would pass. But I thought it was a conversation I needed to have...for myself and for my brother. We had lunch, and he said, 'You're gonna be OK. I made sure. You're getting just under a million.' I think part of me, in the back of my head, maybe hoped it would be different? But I hated myself for hoping it would be different, because I didn't want to take advantage, I didn't want to be that girl who needed, or wanted, my dad's money."

13.On their father's side, Kate and Rooney Mara are the nieces of John Mara, who co-owns the New York Giants, which his grandfather founded. His net worth is reportedly $500 million.

On their mom Kathleen McNulty Rooney's side of the family, the Daniel Rooney Trust & Arthur Rooney II (Kate and Rooney's first cousin once removed) own the Pittsburg Steelers and have a reported net worth of $500 million.

16.And finally, Gigi and Bella Hadid are the daughters of luxury real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, who's reportedly worth around $100 million.
