Parents always want their children to do well and accomplish great things, but when it comes to the rich and famous, there are some kids who exceed even their parents’ expectations — and eclipse their own success.

Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose Giannulli
Thanks to the college admissions scandal their parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, have found themselves in, these girls have gotten all kinds of attention (though it could be argued that Loughlin and Giannulli haven't had press coverage like this ever). Either way, it's obviously not the way any of them wanted the spotlight.
Speaking of kids and money, here's how much they actually cost.

Miley Cyrus
For a while there, Billy Ray Cyrus, his mullet and his achy breaky heart were the cat's meow. Then he and wife Tish gave birth to Hannah Montana and things were never the same. Miley may never be on lunchboxes and pencil cases again but she found a way to surpass her Disney fame and aim even higher. Can't stop her, even if we tried.

Ben Stiller
Jerry Stiller has played two of the most memorable TV dads ever (ahem, Frank Costanza and Arthur Spooner) but Ben, his vast resume (everything from Zoolander to Night at the Museum to Madagascar, and his diverse cast of characters (White Goodman, Greg Focker, Walter Mitty and, yes, Derek Zoolander) prove he's in this to win.

Gigi and Bella Hadid
Sorry, Yolanda, you may be a former Real Housewife but your daughters have the edge here, from modelling, their famous friends and boyfriends, and their blossoming social media statuses.

Rashida Jones
Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton's younger daughter, Rashida Jones, has made quite a name for herself in television and movies and has proven she's also brilliant and funny.

Emma Roberts
Dad Eric's heyday was in the '80s (though he has made a bit of a comeback as of late), while Emma's American Horror Story reign is still going strong. She still, however, isn't nearly as famous as her aunt Julia — but she's still got plenty of time to overtake the Pretty Woman.

Angelina Jolie
Angie and her father, Jon Voight, may both be Oscar winners but Jolie has a few things that make her far more successful than her dad — namely, her amazing humanitarian work around the work, not to mention her career in Hollywood, and her six beautiful children with
estranged husband, what's his name.

Liv Tyler
Steven's daughter is a respected actress, though it all may have started thanks to her dad, who put her alongside Alicia Silverstone in Aerosmith's 1993 song, "Crazy." Thanks, Steven!

Gwyneth Paltrow
Nepotism may have helped with Goop's career beginnings but the daughter of Blythe Danner and the late Bruce Paltrow was able to make quite the name for herself, via her Oscar-winning acting skills, personal life, book-writing and lifestyle website.

Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen may be more famous than dad Martin — but, sadly, for the wrong reasons. Sure, he was once the highest-paid actor on television but now he's more known for his extracurricular activities, feuds with his ex-wives, and legal issues than his acting abilities.

Kardashian-Jenner girls
Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie (last names not required) have reality shows, modelling gigs, clothing stores, fragrances and relationships with other famous peeps under their teeny-tiny belts; Mama Kris doesn't stand a chance, which is just how the momager likes it.

Michael Douglas
Dad Kirk may have been one of the world's biggest movie stars ever but look-a-like son Michael gained his own fame and acclaim — perhaps even more than the man who played Spartacus.

Kate Hudson
Some might disagree but since Goldie Hawn is no longer in the spotlight, daughter Kate has taken over as most famous in the family (though if you’re a Rules of Engagement or Splitting Up Together fan, you may be partial to Kate's brother, Oliver).

Lenny Kravitz
His mom is the late Roxie Roker, who was most famous for her role as Helen Willis on The Jeffersons. Lenny, on the other hand, has been rocking for decades and doesn't look to be stopping anytime soon.

Zoe Kravitz
OK, dad Lenny might still have the edge on his daughter but mom, Lisa Bonet, has stayed out of the spotlight for a while now, giving Zoe Kravitz her time to shine. And the actress has taken advantage of it, appearing in everything Mad Max: Fury Road to the Divergent franchise to the Fantastic Beasts flicks.

Allison Williams
She wowed us on Girls, and shocked us in Get Out, but newsman Brian Williams' daughter showed us all she can sing, too, when she played the titular character in Peter Pan Live!.

Drew Barrymore
She may be a descendant of the illustrious Barrymore family, comprised of esteemed stage and movie actors, but ever since she broke through in E.T. and bounced back from her turbulent childhood, she has established herself in the film industry, not only as an actress but also a director and producer.

Alexander Skarsgard
There are six Skarsgard kids all together, four of them actors. They have their dad, Stellan Skarsgard, to blame. But Alex might be the most famous, thanks to his Emmy win, not to mention his tall drink of water-ness.

Chris Pine
Chris' father, Robert Pine, has one of those faces — you know you've seen him in things; you just don't know from what. He's appeared in everything from Veep and The Office, to The Bold and the Beautiful and Magnum P.I. but he might be most famous for playing the sergeant in CHiPs for five seasons. That being said, Chris is arguably the most popular Chris in Hollywood right now so there's no question who's more famous here.

Dakota Johnson
One would argue that Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith are way more famous than their daughter but we think it's safe to say we've seen more of Dakota than her parents combined.

Jennifer Aniston
Her dad may play the infamous Victor Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives but Rachel Green trumps a soap character every time. Even Drake Ramoray.

O’Shea Jackson Jr.
His dad, Ice Cube, may have started out as a rapper but he's transitioned nicely into acting — and O'Shea is following in his footsteps and carving out quite the career. In fact, it was Straight Outta Compton, where O'Shea played his dad in, that put him on the map. How awesome is that?

Josh Brolin
His dad, James Brolin, may have once been a Hollywood badass but Josh had an epic 2018, starring in Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Infinity War. And thanks to the upcoming Avengers: End Game, 2019 might skyrocket him past the time when every dude wanted a grey sweatsuit and sweatband from his Goonies days and needed to be just like him.

Mariska Hargitay
Her mom may be the late Jayne Mansfield, but Hargitay kicks ass and takes names as an SVU detective cleaning up the gross streets of NYC. She also happens to be an executive producer on the longest-running drama series on television; not too shabby.

Katherine Waterston
Her father, Sam Waterston, is best known for Law & Order and Grace and Frankie. That being said, Katherine isn't doing too badly, not only breaking out in Inherent Vice but she's got those Fantastic Beasts movies under her belt as well.

Jessica Capshaw
The actress is famous for her roles on Grey's Anatomy and The Practice, but her mom Kate Capshaw is no slouch. That being said, they're both beat by Kate's husband and Jessica's stepfather, the one and only Steven Spielberg.

Kaia Gerber
Sure, her mom IS Cindy Crawford but Kaia is following in her mom's footsteps, stomping down runways as sassily as the former supermodel.

Domhnall Gleeson
His father, Brendan Gleeson, has been in just about everything but Domhnall isn't doing too badly for himself, what with the Harry Potter films (along with Brendan) and playing the most annoying bad guy in the latest Star Wars movies.

Tracee Ellis Ross
OK, this might be reaching since her mom, Diana Ross, is a freaking legend but ask the kids these days and they probably only know her fashion-forward, look-alike daughter, thanks to Blackish.

Kiefer Sutherland
OK, this one's debatable as Donald Sutherland continues to be a presence in the Hollywood game. But whether he's playing Jack Bauer or the President of the United States, Kiefer has this one in the bag.
