Dylan Lauren
Net Worth: $4 billion Source: Ralph Lauren Well, there’s no wasting time on this one – it’s pretty straight forward. You know that little blue logo of a polo player on a horse? Yeah, this is the daughter, and heiress to that fortune. Dylan Lauren might be an heiress, but we have to give credit where it’s due – she’s also an entrepreneur in her own right. The Manhattan-born Lauren is daughter to the founder of the major fashion brand, Ralph Lauren. It seems that entrepreneurship runs in the family, with Dylan’s older siblings finding success in business and even the film industry!
As for Dylan’s entrepreneurial pursuits, she owns Dylan’s Candy Bar – yep, the world’s largest candy store. Funnily enough, Dylan Lauren went into the venture after watching the classic film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Almost twenty years later, Dylan’s Candy Bar is still going strong, and is still marveled at by millions of kids (and big kids!) every year! With her fashionable father, it’s no surprise Lauren was nominated as one of the “Most Stylish New Yorkers” in 2007 by the magazine US Weekly. It certainly caught her husband Paul’s eye – and the pair now even have twin boys, Cooper and Kingsley!
Brooke Shields
Net Worth: $25 million Source: Frank Shields Now that is one unforgettable pair of brows. So much so that this gorgeous brunette was spotted from young. Brooke Shields is best known for her acting career, but also for her good looks! The former child and teen model segued nicely into the film industry and made herself living out of it! Born in Manhattan, the former Princeton University attendee made her debut in the film and fashion industries from as early as 1966! As a teen growing up, she starred in the film Pretty Baby which got her noticed, and even received critical acclaim!
Following the success of the film, Shields was set to make waves again, in not one, but two films which achieved cult status later on! Even today, stills from The Blue Lagoon are seen floating around on Instagram – the bronzed, leggy, blue-eyed brunette is a teen vision! Following that, Endless Love, another 80s classic which garnered a crazy following in later years! The model and actress wasn’t quite done with making headlines, marrying superstar tennis champ Andre Agassi. Sadly, however, things didn’t last more than 2 sets, with the pair divorcing just two years after tying the knot. Following her marriage to Agassi, she met a man with whom she would have two children – Chris Hency. The pair have been married for almost twenty years! As for her fortune, well, it just so happens that this shield is heir to Revlon executive Frank Shields’ fortune. Yep. Wow!
Billie Lourd
Net Worth: $25 million Source: Carrie Fisher Okay, any Star Wars fans here? Well, first of all we want to say – rest easy Carrie Fisher. The woman who epitomised hot girls from space (ahem who can forget that gold two-piece?) and no doubt had her poster plastered over many bedroom walls, was and always will be a legend. She passed just a few years ago, however left behind a beautiful daughter, Billie. Her father, Bryan Lourd, is also successful in his own right – he’s actually one of the biggest talent agents in Hollywood! Due to her birthright, Lourd is heiress to Carrie’s fortune and estate. Sadly however, she doesn’t have her mother – which surely palls in comparison to having Carrie around. But we’re sure that she’s looking down on her little girl!
Did we mention that she’s also got a famous grandmother? Well, Fisher’s mother is actually Debbie Reynolds – a Hollywood legend! Billie studied at NYU, however, home to her is still in Beverly Hills. She’s followed right in her mother’s footsteps too, appearing in TV series such as Scream Queens and American Horror Story. She even had a role in the recent Star Wars films, as Lieutenant Connix, sharing the camera with her mother!
Nicky Hilton
Net Worth: $20 million Source: Hilton Hotels We’ve already had one Hilton on our list, but it’s time for us to also mention her sister, Nicky! The younger sibling to Paris, Nicky Hilton is also heiress to the Hilton Hotels fortune. But she’s not just an heiress – much like her sister she has made a name for herself in the business world. She’s actually a fashion designer! The New-York born Hilton was schooled at Convent of the Sacred Heart, enjoyed her sister’s parties (we’re sure she did!) and hanging out with her high-flying, high profile friends! It seems that she went from school and then “married well” as they say – she is actually married to James Rothschild, who’s an heir to the Rothschild fortune. Money meets money, and makes more money, right?
Nicky’s got a pretty face too and has worked as a model. But despite her looks, it’s actually her fashion business that took off and has proved super successful! She’s created a range of handbags for her brand, Nicholai, as well as for other brands, including eLuxe and Samantha Thavasa. No doubt her own fortune would’ve helped her appear during NY’s Fashion Week! It seems that handbag designing has proved lucrative for the younger Hilton, designing collections for baggage company Tolani. After designing a “Mommy and Me” capsule, which saw success, she designed again for 2017 and 2019 seasons. More of her designs are expected to hit stores for purchase next year, in 2020!
Chevy Chase
Net Worth: $50 million Source: The Crane Company Sure, he’s got a famous face and a bit of a reputation from his National Lampoon’s franchise, but Chevy Chase is more than just an American funny man! The Manhattan-born Chevy Chase was actually known by another name – Cornelius Crane. Yup. The comedian, writer, and actor was born to a Manhattan book editor and magazine writer, Edward Tinsley Chase, and a concert pianist mother. His mother, in fact, was the heir to The Crane Company – now the story is, she was adopted by Cornelius Vanderbilt! Yep, THE Vanderbilts.
Chevy’s name, “Chevy” is actually a nickname, given to him by his grandmother! Apparently she got it from a medieval English folk song, titled “The Ballad of Chevy Chase.” We probably don’t need to list all his achievements on the screen, but of course, for any young ones, he’s best known for his appearances on Saturday Night Live, as well as his many comedic roles in Caddyshack and Fletch.
