Chloe Green
Net Worth: $4.9 billion Source: TopShop Imagine not having to pay for clothes. Well, that’s not a dream, it’s a reality for Chloe Green. The daughter of Sir Phillip Green, the CEO of fashion company TopShop, Green must have an amazing wardrobe! But let’s be real – she won’t be wasting her time on faux-leather and polyester: she’s going to be head to toe in the real stuff and in Balenciaga or Gucci or Chanel or whatever. Duh. Most recently, Green has been in and out of the news for her relationship with a former felon, Jeremy Meeks. Facebook (basically all of the social media) went wild when images emerged of the so-called “hot” felon, with his tan skin and blue eyes. Police posted his mugshot after his arrest in 2014 during a gang sweep and well, he went viral. It’s one thing to go viral for your looks, and another to be a felon and then end up dating a billionaire. Same. So apart from her uh… questionable choice in boyfriends, Green is famous for appearing on the reality show Made in Chelsea.
Her father, Phillip is also the head of Arcadia Group, which owns TopShop alongside other companies and brands. Due to her father’s wealth, she’s able to lead an exorbitant lifestyle, which she flashes openly on social media. Like you know, sunbathing in designer swimwear on her enormous yacht, Lionchase. But now that the “likes” have disappeared from Instagram, we wonder what’s going to happen now?!
Kate Hudson
Net Worth: $80 million Source: Goldie Hawn No need for an introduction for this Hollywood babe! Kate Hudson, the Oscar-nominated actress, and daughter of legend Goldie Hawn are well, set to inherit a nice little sum from mother dearest. But hey, we’re not counting too closely here – with a stepfather in Kurt Russell, and her own fortune amassed over the years, we’re really not worried about her financials.
Hudson first started acting at the tender age of eleven, appearing on stage in fact! From the Santa Monica Playhouse, well, the world was her oyster and went on over to film work in the 1998 film Desert Blue. Fast forward a little while and we come to her breakthrough role, Almost Famous. It was her role as the flirtatious band groupie Penny Lane that won her a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination! We just love her in How To Lose a Guy In Ten Days opposite Matthew McConaughey though! She’s also appeared in Fool’s Gold, My Best Friend’s Girl and Bride Wars, among others. To keep the income streaming in, Hudson also founded her own fashion activewear label, Fabletics.
Olivia Wilde
Net Worth: $20 million Source: Andrew Cockburn Not that we’re focusing on looks here, but it’s hard to go past this gorgeous blue-eyed brunette. Olivia Wilde is not only a stunning actress, but she’s also set to inherit quite a little bit of cash! Just recently, in fact, she produced the film Booksmart which is out in cinemas now! Her first film ever, the NYC-born Wilde has discovered quite a talent.
An attendee of the Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin, the actress first got her acting start in television. Starring opposite House himself, she debuted on the hit series House, playing Dr. Hadley, or as you may remember her “Thirteen.” Following on from her breakout role, she was snatched up for the silver screen, with roles in films such as Conversations with Other Women, Tron: Legacy, Butter, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, The Lazarus Effect, Rush and more. With regards to inheriting $$$, she’s the daughter of two journalists, and as such, many have noted that she has a “strong journalistic streak” and is “really critical and analytical.” Her paternal Scottish ancestors were of the upper class, and perhaps money has trickled down from there! But it doesn’t seem that Wilde needs it, now with her partner Jason Sudeikis and with a producing talent very clear, she won’t need any family money!
Jake Gyllenhaal
Net Worth: $65 million Source: Stephen Gyllenhaal Who would’ve thought movie star Jake Gyllenhaal wasn’t only talented but has a massive inheritance?! The Hollywood actor is in fact the son of Stephen Gyllenhaal, a well-known film director in the industry! Of course, you would know Jake’s sibling is also an esteemed actor, Maggie Gyllenhaal. It seems that the acting/producing/writing talent is in the genes – his mother Naomi Foner is actually a screenwriter! Naturally Gyllenhaal, with his background and parents well established in the industry, traipsed down the acting path. Did you know his first film was in the 1991 City Slickers?
Despite roles as a child, he went on to attend Columbia University and get his degree. Later on, he would receive acclaim in October Sky, playing Homer Hickam. Further praise came to him for his role as Donnie Darko in the film of the same name! (You might recognise his sister, Maggie, also appeared in the film!)
Ariana Rockefeller
Net Worth: $2.8 billion Source: Standard Oil The Rockefellers. Yeah, you know the Rockefeller centre? That pretty, and pretty famous ice-skating rink – you know, the one with the huge Christmas tree? Ringing bells NYC’ers? Well yeah, Ariana is a part of that family. An heiress to the prominent Rockefeller dynasty, the family found its great fortune by way of oil. Standard Oil. The Rockefeller family’s legacy dates back to the early nineteenth-century, when the family patriarch founded the oil refinement company and back then he made billions! The family grew from strength to strength, investing in oil and property, and maintaining (if not growing) the family fortune. But regardless of their nigh unspeakable wealth, the family is very charitable. With all that money, really, you wouldn’t know what to do with it all!
A Columbia University graduate, Ariana initially secured an internship at the United Nations. However it seemed that she had another passion which called to her – fashion! The eponymous label has been successful, with a fair few opera coats, tweed jackets and dresses with more conservative elements – inspired by her preppy lifestyle! Her first collection was inspired by a Picasso painting which…hung in her childhood home. Yeah. She also had a stint with Reed Krakoff, designing a handbag line! So it seems that fashion has paid off for Rockefeller! But this Rockefeller isn’t only stylish – she’s a philanthropist, and a major supporter of the Human Society. She chaired the NYBG Winter Ball and regularly attends charity galas. She lives in an apartment (we’re guessing stunning) on the Upper East Side with her entrepreneur husband, Matthew Bucklin. Oh and did we mention, she’s an avid equestrienne! Makes sense – an expensive hobby, reserved for the rich and famous!
