Travis Knight
Net Worth: $34 billion Source: Nike Imagine being tied (sorry, directly linked) to the Nike fortune? Yeah, like Nike the multinational sportswear corporation. Yeah, that tiny little “tick” logo is worth a cool $34 billion. But before we get caught up in the sportswear and lifestyle mammoth, let’s turn to its creator, and importantly, his son, who’s set to inherit a gigantic fortune! The son of Nike founder Phil Knight, next on our list is Travis Knight. But it seems that fame and fortune seem to be a strong trend in the Knight family, with his grandfather, William Knight, being a famous publisher! Maybe the success gene is well, a gene in the Knight make-up! A graduate of Portland State university, Knight has made himself an Oregon-native. With the financial backing and support of his daddy-o, Knight was able to have a few career flings (no no, not romantic!), first emerging as a rapper, using a recording studio which he built on the ground floor of his father’s mansion!
Look, with a name like “Chilly Tee”, we’re not sure how far he thought he was going to go with it, but funnily enough, he produced a demo on his own (not like he didn’t have the funding right?) and found some success! He then switched careers, deciding to pursue film direction and animation. He scored a job with the Laika movie studio, and the rest is history! If you’ve heard of (or seen) Coraline and Kubo & the Two Strings, (and if you haven’t, definitely add them to your list!), then you’ve seen Knight’s work! Knight even received an Academy Award nomination for best animated feature – now if that’s not some serious credit then we don’t know what is!
Allison Williams
Net Worth: $2 million Source: Brian Williams Daughter of renowned news anchor and journalist Brian Williams, next up is Alison Williams! Best known for her role as Marnie Michaels on the HBO comedy-drama series Girls, she’s made some waves in the entertainment industry! Also if you haven’t seen Get Out, please, do yourself a favor and get on it – her performance in the horror flick got the town talking, not to mention an Oscar nomination! Whilst her father Brian was the NBC Nightly News anchor, her mother Jane Stoddard is a TV producer! Between her two successful parents working in the media and TV production, she has a small fortune to her name!
A Yale alumnus, Williams is just giving us prestige vibes. Yale, damn. As for her personal life, she was dating Ricky Van Veen, the co-founder of CollegeHumour, back in 2011. Fast forward a few years and the pair tied the knot, with a very famous celebrant: Tom Hanks! Unfortunately, the pair announced just last month that they would be splitting up. As for her future, well, Netflix horror film, The Perfection was just released – and we’re sure she’s going to continue with this genre which seems to be so successful for her!
Alexa Ray Joel
Net Worth: $10 million Source: Billy Joel The daughter of the singer of Billy Joel, Alexa Ray Joel is next up on our list! The Manhattan-born Joel followed in her father’s footsteps, moving into music herself! The young Joel fancies herself a pop singer, with a splash of soul and blues! Music seems to be in the bloodlines because she’s a bit of a whiz on the keys – she’s trained in classical piano and on the keyboard! Not to mention she’s a songwriter too! Wonder if she asked dad for a little help?
On her mom’s side, well, it’s no wonder Alexa turned out so pretty – her mother is Christie Brinkley. Helloooo! Sure, Christie and Billy split up in the 90s, but Alexa got the looks! As for Alexa’s middle name Ray, it’s actually (and here’s some trivia for you) a tribute to musician Ray Charles, who was a close friend of Billy Joel’s! Now that’s pretty sweet. The heiress and now-singer has been in the industry for over 10 years and has been signed to a few labels in the past, including The Hang Productions, Inc., Audio Bee, and ARJ Music most recently. Maybe this “Pianowoman” might just live up to her father’s success!
Suri Cruise
Net Worth: $300 million Source: Tom Cruise (Father) The smallest Cruise is well, not so small anymore! The now 13-year-old is a teen fashionista, and we’ve had our eye on this one since she was just a 5-year-old! The daughter of former power couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, between the two of her famous parents, she’s set to inherit quite a large sum of money. Tom Cruise is, of course, a megastar, and is still producing films and starring in blockbusters – did you know there’s another Top Gun coming out soon? Yeah! Anyway, Cruise is worth almost half a billion, and Katie is worth over eight figures! So if you do some quick math there, little Suri is set to inherit close to $300 million. Now that’s more than enough to fund a designer wardrobe any shopaholic woman would be envious of!
The only biological child of actor-producer Tom Cruise (you might remember when he was married to Australian actress Nicole Kidman, the pair adopted two children), Suri received quite a lot of press when she was born. As she grew, the toddler was snapped for her stylish outfits, which mother Holmes at the time would say were of her own choosing! Since then, Suri has grown up with both her parents supporting her, despite the fact the pair split several years ago. But hey, on the positive side (and ok first can we just say we’re not saying money buys you happiness), she’s got enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life – and she’s already about town enjoying those privileges!
Georgia May Jagger
Net Worth: $360 million Source: Mick Jagger When you’re the daughter of one of the world’s leading frontmen, it’s hardly surprising that Georgia May Jagger wouldn’t be short of a quid. The English-born model and designer has the supermodel genes in her blood, inherited from catwalk model mother Jerry Hall. The daughter of Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, Georgia inherited her father’s famous gap and the long lines of her mother!
Making her debut in ‘08, Georgia May Jagger signed with Independent Models, before jumping across to TESS. She’s been in quite a few ads and plastered across a number of billboards which you probably would’ve seen either in the US or across the pond in the United Kingdom. In 2009, following her fashion debut, the leggy blonde was awarded the British Fashion Council’s Model of the Year Award. Her natural good looks and… dare we say it – swagger, have attracted luxury brands such as Chanel, Versace, Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood as well as international brands H&M and Hudson Jeans. Oh and of course, she’s a Rimmel girl! It seems everyone wants a piece of Jagger – did we mention she’s also appeared in advertisements for Angel Fragrance by Thierry Mugler?
