These 15 Celebrity Nepotism Babies Grew Up Rich

Actress, model and singer-songwriter Maya Hawke has a double serving when it comes to famous parents in showbiz. Her parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, are both A-list actors who met on the set of Gattaca, a 1997 sci-fi movie.

Maya went to various creative schools, where she got her start in acting (from the private and non-graded Saint Ann's School in Brooklyn to Juilliard) before landing her first big role as the lead in the 2017 BBC adaption of Little Women. The Stranger Things and Do Revenge star is rumoured to be cast alongside Samuel L Jackson and her mother, Uma Thurman, in an upcoming project called The Kill Room.

For her part, Maya has acknowledged her luck when it comes to her parents. "I'm very grateful for the fact that they made it so easy for me to do the thing that I love," she told PEOPLE. "I think I'll get a couple chances on their name and then if I suck, I'll get kicked out of the kingdom. And that's what should happen. So I'm just going to try not to suck."

Now she's known for her soulful indie pop music, but Gracie Abrams has a very famous father, Emmy Award-winning film and television director J.J. Abrams.

No stranger to growing up rubbing elbows in Los Angeles with a famous set, the 23-year-old "I miss you, I'm sorry" singer is making a name for herself and is currently signed to Interscope Records. The singer recently took to the stage at festivals like Osheaga and Lollapalooza.

After growing up in California with a talented and notable family, it was no big surprise when Euphoria actress Maude Apatow got her start in acting alongside her famous parents. She first appeared in films with her mother Leslie Mann (playing her daughter on screen) in films produced and directed by her father, Judd Apatow (including credits like Funny People, Knocked Up and This is 40).

Multi-hyphenate Brooklyn Beckham has had his hand at many careers already in his young life, thanks to his ultra-famous parents, former Spice Girl Victoria and footballer David Beckham. After modelling from a young age (following in the footsteps of his fashionista mother), Brooklyn became interested in photography and was given the opportunity to shoot a Burberry campaign at just 16 (which many criticized heavily as nepotism at its peak).

Today, Brooklyn has transitioned to a new career as a chef with an online series called Cookin' With Brooklyn. He also recently wed longtime girlfriend Nicola Peltz.

Speaking of Brooklyn's new wife, Nicola Peltz also had a jumpstart in life thanks to her family. Her mother is model Claudia Heffner and her father is billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz; together, Claudia and Nelson have eight children, including Nicola.

Born in New York but currently residing in L.A., the actress/writer/director (according to her Instagram bio) has several upcoming projects, including a role in the upcoming mini-series Welcome to Chippendales.

Did you know that the star of Emily in Paris comes from a famous family? The acclaimed actress is the daughter of English musician Phil Collins (though she grew up in Los Angeles, rather than England).

Collins landed her first role at two years old (on the British sitcom Growing Pains) and has been acting ever since, though her career didn't kick off until she acted alongside Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side in 2009.

Another famous Lily with noteworthy parents is the daughter of controversial actor Johnny Depp and French model and singer Vanessa Paradis.

Depp, who has both American and French citizenships and is fluent in both French and English, has starred in a number of films in both the US and France. Up next for her is a starring role on a new television project, The Idol, alongside singer The Weeknd.

The pair of talented siblings have been in the spotlight for most of their life (who could forget Willow's early debut with "Whip My Hair"?), having grown up with Hollywood royalty Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith as parents.

Both acted in the early years, before making the more serious foray into music. Today, Willow works alongside her mother hosting Red Table Talk, while Jaden is making splashes in the fashion world.

Model and socialite Hailey Bieber is no stranger to life in the spotlight (though never has it shined brighter than when dating and eventually marrying superstar Justin Bieber).

As the daughter to Stephen Baldwin and niece to Alec Baldwin, she grew up well-connected and initially had dreams of pursuing a career as a professional ballerina (which ended due to a foot injury) before taking modelling seriously.

Hailey recently joined the celeb skincare army with the launch of her own line, Rhode.

It may surprise you to know that actress Dakota Johnson comes not just from famous parents (her mom is actress Melanie Griffith and father is actor and singer Don Johnson), but from a line of famous family members.

Her mother Melanie Griffith was also the daughter of actress and model Tippi Hedren (best known for her work in The Birds, but can we also take a moment to appreciate the iconic name?). Johnson is best known for her work in the 50 Shades series and in her personal life has been dating Coldplay front man (and fellow nepotism baby Gwyneth Paltrow's ex) Chris Martin since 2017, though the pair are notoriously private.

Model Kaia Gerber was born in Los Angeles, California to famous parents, supermodel Cindy Crawford and Casamigos co-founder Rande Gerber.

She made her modelling debut at 10 years old for Young Versace. Now at 21, she's been the face of multiple campaigns, featured in numerous television shows and was named the Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.

The Bridgerton breakout star hails from the UK and comes from a family that has worked in the television industry for generations. Her mother, Sally Dynevor is an acclaimed television actress on the daytime soap Coronation Street, which she's had an active role on since 1985.

Famous models and sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid are the daughters of former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and model Yolanda Hadid and real estate developer Mohamed Hadid.

Some of their younger years were documented on RHOBH when the two budding stars were living with their mother and just starting out in the modelling industry (some of which has received criticism, like Yolanda's dieting advice for the young models).

Still, it appears that the Hadid sisters are aware of their head start in the industry. “I know I come from privilege, so when I started there was this big guilt of privilege, obviously,” Gigi told Vogue Australia.

Another famous model who grew up wealthy is Lionel Richie's daughter (and half-sister to Nicole Richie, who along with Paris Hilton, is an OG nepotism baby).

Like the Hadid sisters, Sofia's lavish early years can be seen on reality shows like Candidly Nicole, and later on various Kardashian-adjacent shows when she was linked with Scott Disick. Sofia recently announced her engagement to music exec (and son of the CEO and chairman of Universal Music Group), Elliot Grainge.

Perhaps to a lesser degree than some on this list with A-list parents, but Timothee Chalamet had more than luck on his side when getting his start in acting.

His family had a history in the entertainment industry: his mother was a Broadway dancer, his sister an actress and his aunt and uncle are both filmmakers.

The talented actor grew up among creatives, in an artists' building in New York that was once home to other stars like Alicia Keys and Larry David. When not in New York, his family often summered in France
