Bryce Dallas Howard
Net Worth: $15 million Source: Ron Howard Bryce Dallas Howard is firstly, drop-dead gorgeous. And where could she have possibly inherited those flaming red locks from? Her dad, Ron Howard of course! The daughter of the mega-famous film director, he’s got a plethora of wonderful films with his credentials on them! Look, we’d be here all day if we had to list even half of them! His daughter, Bryce seems to have somewhat followed in her father’s footsteps, as an actress and film director herself. She made her debut in the entertainment biz at the age of eight, or the year 1989. Surely, she had a leg-up from her Oscar-winning actor/director father Ron!
A student of the Tisch School of Arts in New York, Howard soon decided it wasn’t right for her, and left to act on Broadway. She was given the role of Rosalind in Shakespeare’s classic As You Like It and was finally given some of the recognition she deserved! During her season as Rosalind, her performance caught the eye of a one M. Night Shyamalan. The director, who is best known for his films with “contemporary supernatural plots and twist endings”, cast Howard in his film The Village, a psychological thriller. Shyamalan took her under his wing in some respects, two years later Howard starred in his 2006 film Lady in the Water. Since then, the red-haired beauty (who is often mistaken for her redhead “sister” Jessica Chastain), has gone on to star in the Jurassic Park remakes alongside Chris Pratt, as well as recently starring in the biographical film Rocketman which documents the life of musician Sir Elton John.
Megan Ellison
Net Worth: $200 million Source: Oracle So, Megan Ellison is the daughter of Larry Ellison, who is the Oracle Corporation chairman. Oracle is worth a cool $60 billion US. Yeah, you read that right: six zero, and a lot more zeroes after that! Larry Ellison’s salary in 2017 was a staggering $41.5 MILLION. Yeah, in a year’s work. That’s what, over $5000 per HOUR he gets paid! Insane. Okay okay back to Megan. We’ll quit crunching the numbers and making ourselves feel inadequate, before requesting a hefty pay rise! Megan is in fact, a film producer, debuting in 2007. So of her own merit, she’s achieved a small (not so small really, but in comparison to her father’s net worth of $70+ billion, well, it palls) fortune, sitting in the couple of hundred millions. She’s produced some pretty awesome films, which have received critical acclaim, including Zero Dark Thirty, American Hustle, Her, The Master and Phantom Thread. And naturally, she’s been nominated for a series of awards for her work on these films!
Ellison was named on TIME’s “Most Influential” list for her contributions to modern cinema. Interestingly, Ellison dropped out of film school after just a year, and in fact, asked her dad for some funding for a few low-budget films. Her early venture into producing included thee Coen Brothers film True Grit. All it takes is one film before you’re recognised and, on your way, to fame and fortune! But hey, she’s set to inherit some ridiculous cash from her father one day.
Jordin Sparks
Net Worth: $10 million Source: Phillippi Sparks So whilst Jordin Sparks rose to fame on reality singing show, American Idol, there’s in fact a little back story – she’s got a famous father! Her dad is none other than Phillippi Sparks, a former NFL player. He was signed with both the New York Giants (1992-1999) and then the Dallas Cowboys.
His daughter, Jordin was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and of course was heard on one of America’s favorite TV shows. The singer-songwriter found her genres in R&B and Pop, with a number of hit albums and singles to her name – who can forget Tattoo (as her debut song!) and Battlefield…oh and come on, the duet with Chris Brown No Air? Classic! Sparks has in fact sold over 1 million albums and 10 million singles in the United States! And it’s no wonder, she’s got a beautiful voice! It makes sense then that Jordin Sparks has gone on to be one of the most successful American Idol contestants of all time. Since then she tied the knot with Dana Isaiah, and the pair just last year welcomed their first child together, a son named DJ. Cute!
Adam Levine
Net Worth: $90 million Source: Fred Levine Adam Levine is well, not only very good looking but also very talented. With his unique set of pipes, it was his voice that helped Maroon 5 gain their distinctive sound AND massive fan base. His success in the band sure helped his bank account balance, but we’re also giving a shout out to his pops, Fred Levine. The producer made a small fortune with his production company; however, we think the majority of Adam’s fortune is owing to his own talent!
The Voice took on Levine as a judge too, which not only helped their ratings, but also gave fans an insight into the talented singer’s abilities not only on the microphone, but in coaching up and coming young stars. From humble beginnings singing in his home of Los Angeles at the age of 14, he’s certainly come a long way since the band Kara’s Flowers! Fun fact: once this band well, disbanded, they reformed and changed their name to Maroon 5! Seems the name change did them a whole lot of good! Fast forward and the multi-platinum selling band has won three Grammys, AMAs, eight BMAs, an MTVMA, and a World Music Award. Levine has also appeared in American Horror Story’s Asylum season (season 2). Oh and not to mention he married Victoria’s Secret model, South African babe Behati Prinsloo.
Ariana Grande
Net Worth: $50 million Source: Edward Butera There are few singers in the world with a name bigger than Ariana Grande. The ridiculously talented Grande has a voice that’s got the same effect on our spines as Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera before her. A singer, actress, and songwriter, Grande is best-known for her crazy vocal range – and she’s also talented with her vocal impressions: definitely check out the “wheel of impressions” skit from Jimmy Fallon’s show, she’s incredible!
Her career began at the age of 13 (and she’s so tiny we’re not sure she grew any further!), starting out on Broadway, in the musical “13.” She was soon picked up by the Nickelodeon network, and her fame grew on the shows Victorious and Sam & Cat. It wasn’t until she released her debut album, Yours Truly that things got serious with her career. That album sent the world of pop crazy, and it peaked on the Billboard charts. Fast forward a few years and a few albums (not to mention a few Grammys) and she’s got more followers than Kim Kardashian, at a whopping 160.5 million! Her latest album, Thank U, Next has been a worldwide sensation!
