When you're a celebrity, you have to be prepared for the fact that people will dig into everything that pertains to your private life - from your net worth and automobiles to your love life and eventually, your children.
There's not a single showbiz fan who's not been interested in finding out about celeb parents and their children, and there are many kids who are already stars before even they have grown up. These are the celebrity kids we're going to see now along with their dad or mom, and you should really not skip all these juicy details. We bet that you'd be quite surprised!
Sting & Joe Sumner
When it comes to megastars like Gordon "Sting" Sumner, many folks are quick to presume that their kids roam around with silver spoons in their mouths. Well, that doesn't hold always, and as the 'Every Breath You Take' singer told 'Daily Mail,' he's grateful how all his six children are doing impressively well in their careers.
For instance, the eldest sibling from the lot, Joe Sumner, commenced a tread similar to his father's. Now, owing to his utmost passion for rock music and Sting's unwavering support, he has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. For an exhibit of Joe's skills, one can follow the band, 'Fiction Plane,' and they won't be let down, for sure.
Neil Young & Amber Jean Young
There's no denying that Neil Young is one seriously talented artist, so it's no wonder his kids would inherit the same skill. Out of his three children, Neil's youngest offspring, Amber, is someone we should all look out for in the world of art, and it's easy to see why.
Like her hitmaker dad, the lovely Amber appears to have naturally developed a creative streak of her own at a young age. Many of her unique creations have been showcased in various exhibits, much to every art enthusiast's delight. Despite taking a different career path, we're confident the Grammy Award-winning singer is happy to see Amber excel in her chosen field.
Sinead O Connor & Yeshua Bonadio
Each time Sinead O'Conner is on stage, she leaves the audience amazed with her beautiful voice. While her career as a musician is quite fulfilling, her life offscreen is equally blessed. Behind the scenes, the singer has her hands full and is busy being a loving mother to her adorable children. All of Sinead's kids are equally important to her, but we find her youngest, Yeshua Bonadio, very cute.
We did stumble upon a few pictures of the little one, and we must say he looks a lot like his mommy. Unfortunately, Yeshua is busy with his studies for now, so it would be too early to tell if the teenager would also pursue a career in music.
Reese Witherspoon & Ava Phillippe
Ava Phillippe is a social media influencer with a count of over 600,000 followers and a Hollywood star in the making. Ava is a gorgeous young woman who also happens to seem quite familiar. Well, that's because she looks just like the acclaimed actress Reese Witherspoon, who is Ava's mother.
Ava has received all of the talents from her mother, along with her gorgeous looks. The young lady is all set to begin her modeling career as she appeared in the lookbook for 'Rodarte's' fall 2018 collection. She is successfully following her mother's footsteps into becoming the next big sensation in Hollywood. With that being said, we can't wait for her to rule the silver screen, just like her mother.
Kourtney Kardashian ($65 Million) & Penelope Scotland Disick ($10 Million) At Age 9
Everyone knows that Kourtney Kardashian is among the cream of the crop as far as reality stars go. As such, it’s no wonder her children are in the same boat as her, particularly her only daughter, Penelope Scotland Disick.
At a young age, Penelope has already graced the TV screen by starring alongside her clan in ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ and even in her mom’s spinoff show ‘Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.’ Yet behind the camera, Penelope is just like any kid who loves tea parties with her cousins and playing dress-up, wearing Kourtney’s high-fashion clothes no less. Indeed, Penelope is genuinely having the time of her young life.
Sandra Bullock ($250 Million) & Louis Bardo Bullock (Est. $5 Million) At Age 11
When Sandra Bullock wanted to adopt a child, she struggled with the decision of whether her celebrity status would affect the baby. Yet, after Hurricane Katrina struck, she made up her mind and the adorable Louis Bardo Bullock came into her family.
The acclaimed actress has been very protective of her son and adoptive daughter Laila, and with Loius almost in his teens, it's understandable. With the massive net worth of his mum, we bet young Bardo is set up for life regardless of whatever career path he picks as he is in line to inherit some of that wealth.
Scottie Pippen ($20 Million) & Antron Pippen ($1 Million) At Age 33
More often than not, children tend to follow in their parent's footsteps, and the late Antron Pippen was no different. The lad started playing basketball from a young age with his dad, the legendary Scottie Pippen, showing him the ropes, and if it wasn’t for the asthma he suffered from, Antron would have undoubtedly taken the NBA by storm as he was incredibly talented.
Sadly, Antron passed on in April 2021 at the tender age of 33, having worked as a machine technician while still partly playing the game he so dearly loved.
Blythe Danner ($45 Million) & Apple Martin (More than $1 Million) At Age 15
Blythe Danner is an extremely successful actress of Hollywood's Golden Era. She has the beauty and brains to survive in the entertainment industry, not only as an actor but also as a singer and dancer.
Danner has a super gorgeous granddaughter named Apple Martin, through her equally famous daughter, Gwyneth Paltrow. Apple resembles her grandmother in every possible way! The rising star has amassed a lot of cash to her name, and with the genes she has inherited from her grandmother, we are sure Apple will reach greater heights too!
Doris Day ($200 Million) & Ryan Melcher ($50 Million) At Age 37
Not many are familiar with Ryan Melcher, a California-based luxury real estate agent who is also the grandson of noted singer and actress Doris Day. Ryan's father Terry was born Doris during her first marriage to Al Jorden.
Ryan shares loving memories of a happy childhood with his grandmother. Now he's all grown up, shocking everyone with his resemblance to the late star. Similar stunning eyes and a charming smile stand out explicitly. He may not have followed in his grandma's footsteps, but there's no doubt that he's as hard-working and successful as her!
Lori Loughlin's Daughter - Olivia Giannulli
While most youngsters struggle to figure out who they want to be and what career to choose, Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia has been making her parents proud by kicking off a decent career for a 20-year-old.
As a social media influencer, she has already garnered more than 1 million followers, which proves that she’s capable enough to carve her own success. Although Olivia is equally close to both her parents, it’s Lori whose glimpse we catch in the former’s appearance. In fact, it won’t be a false statement if we call her mommy’s replica!
Aubrey Howard - Terence Howard's Daughter
Terence Howard is a man of great caliber and fame, which has earned him a lot of cash as well. He’s successful now, but had quite a rough childhood - the star watched his parents divorce, drama included and perhaps as a reflection, his personal life became unruly too.
The actor has five children through two marriages - the older one being his daughter, Aubrey Howard. As we can see, Aubrey is Terence's spitting image, just as hard-working and passionate. She is also the founder and CEO of her very own company, which adds to her fame and fortune.
Pat Sajak & Maggie Sajak – College - At Age 23
[the_ad id="14919"]
Pat Sajak is best known as the host of the Wheel of Fortune television game show, but he was also a weatherman and talk show host. Maggie is Pat’s daughter and a country music singer, with her style said to resemble Michelle Branch’s and Cheryl Crow’s.
Maggie is 23 now and is currently at Princeton while her songs have already been heard in Sweet Home Alabama TV show. No DNA test is necessary to show that showbiz runs in Maggie's blood, though her father, Pat, had a different life back in the ‘60s. When Pat was 23, he had already graduated and was serving in Vietnam, working at the Armed Forces Radio.
Reba McEntire ($95 Million) & Shelby Blackstock ($8 Million) At Age 23
[the_ad id="14919"]
Country singer and actress, Reba McEntire is one of the most successful female performers of her generation, and during her long and illustrious career, she has amassed a whopping $95 million!
Shelby Blackstock is her only biological son who is a race car driver ranked 8th at the 2018 Indy Lights. It seems the McEntire family is full of talents as the young racer is estimated to be worth around $8 million! That figure is certainly impressive at such a young age, even if it’s nowhere close to the fortune accumulated by his mother.
Clint Eastwood ($375 Million) & Scott Eastwood ($10 Million) At Age 30
[the_ad id="14919"]
Clint Eastwood and his amazing work, both as an actor and as a director, is well-known to anyone, and his acting prowess earned him a staggering $375 million fortune (and a ton of awards of course). His son Scott eventually followed in his footsteps, but his rise to fame wasn't a matter of inheritance.
Clint didn't want to spoil Scott, so he let him pursue a career on his own powers. The latter eventually succeeded, and now has a $10 million fortune, having appeared in films such as Pacific Rim: Uprising.
Cindy Crawford ($100 Million) & Kaia Gerber (Estimated $500K) At Age 16
[the_ad id="14919"]
Cindy Crawford's illustrious modeling career has made her a legend in her field, even if she's now in her 50s. She managed to engage in acting thanks to her looks and talent, and her $100 million fortune is definitely justified.
Her fabulous daughter, Kaia Gerber, has already made some big steps in modeling, being just 16 years old. Having posed for Vogue Italia, Kaia now has an estimated net worth of $500K, and with all that, she is giving us every reason to say that beauty and success do run in the family's DNA.
Minnie Riperton ($3 Million) & Maya Rudolph ($4 Million) At Age 29
[the_ad id="14919"]
Minnie Riperton left us shocked when she passed away in 1979 at 31 years old. A prominent singer and songwriter of the '60s, her hit Lovin' You made her a star overnight, though she never had the time to enjoy her wealth, which was around $3 million at the time of her death.
Luckily though, Riperton's last will had helped her daughter Maya Rudolph get a head start in the acting industry, and with lucrative roles in films such as Grown Ups (1 and 2), she now has a $4 million fortune.
Janet Leigh ($20 Million) & Jamie Lee Curtis ($35 Million) At Age 20
[the_ad id="14919"]
Janet Leigh's acting versatility and dancing traits granted her a lot of fame, and wealth as well. Sadly, she left us in 2004, having a $20 million fortune at the time. Amazingly, her daughter Jamie Lee Curtis managed to make it even bigger, and she's now a globally known actress, with remarkable performances such as the one on True Lies.
Though Leigh's testament would have made Curtis rich anyway, her own success has made her wealthier than her late mother as she has amassed tremendous riches that are somewhere around $35 million at present.
Naomi Judd ($25 Million) & Ashley Judd ($22 Million) At Age 39
[the_ad id="14919"]
Naomi Judd is known for the iconic country music duo The Judds, which she formed with her elder daughter. They were super-successful, but after Naomi's health issues, she had to retire from singing, and the duo's music career came to an end.
Subsequently, mommy Judd ventured into acting and TV appearances, having accumulated $25 million. Her second daughter, Ashley, came to prominence as a talented actress, but she's now mostly into politics and activism. When it comes to wealth, Ashley is almost as rich as her famous mother and has a $22 million fortune of her own.
Kirk Douglas ($60 Million) & Michael Douglas ($300 Million) At Age 30
[the_ad id="14919"]
It's hard to find such an impeccable father-son acting duo in Hollywood. Kirk Douglas is now one of the last remaining stars of Hollywood's Golden Era, and after several performance credits in hit movies like Champion, he ended up with a $60 million wealth.
His son Michael is a Hollywood essential as well with many considering him even bigger an actor than his father. Perhaps he has received that flair through great genes, or maybe he too was born to be a superstar. While Michael has been successful enough to match his dad's success level, he has made it even bigger in terms of money.
Blythe Danner ($45 Million) & Gwyneth Paltrow ($60 Million) At Age 30
[the_ad id="14919"]
Even after so many years, Blythe Danner's performance in Huff still amazes us, and the combination of beauty and talent has earned her a lucrative spot in showbiz, and a $45 million fortune as well.
Needless to say, her Hollywood star-daughter Gwyneth Paltrow is a spitting image of hers, and she's also inherited Danner's passion for acting. In fact, she honored the family's tradition by becoming a prominent celebrity as well, and starring in iconic movies like Shakespeare In Love has resulted in amassing a $60 million net worth for Gwyneth.
Meryl Streep ($90 Million) & Mamie Gummer ($10 Million) At Age 31
[the_ad id="14919"]
Does Meryl Streep even need an introduction? With 21 Oscar and 31 Golden Globe nominations, you realize why they consider her to be an absolute acting goddess. Having rightfully earned an impressive $90 million fortune, her wills and trusts would be full of goodies for her children, though Mamie Gummer has followed in her footsteps and a $10 million wealth to prove it.
Doubtlessly, she has huge shoes to fill, and even bigger fame to match. They have once appeared together in Ricki And the Flash, and we would surely love to see them share the screen space again.
Jerry Stiller ($12.5 Million) & Ben Stiller ($200 Million) At Age 39
[the_ad id="14919"]
Jerry Stiller's career as a comedian and actor dates back to the black & white era, and he sure was successful at what he did. Given the fact that his wife, Anne Meara, was also a celebrity, it would be impossible for their son Ben Stiller not to leave his own mark in Hollywood.
Having starred in Zoolander, Dodgeball, and many other movies, Ben is now a sought-after name in the industry, mainly in the genre of comedy which is his specialty. The actor's $200 million wealth has clearly surpassed that of his parents.
Peggy Lipton ($3 Million) & Rashida Jones ($25 Million) At Age 30
[the_ad id="14919"]
One of the most gorgeous mother-daughter duos in Hollywood is Peggy Lipton and Rashida Jones. The former is relatively unknown to younger generations, as she earned her $3 million fortune mostly by starring in the '60s and '70s TV show The Mob Squad.
Undoubtedly, her daughter Rashida is just as beautiful, and fans seem to have noticed. Don't they just look like a mirror image of each other? Gaining popularity through her fruitful role on Parks And Recreation, Rashida has managed to bag $25 million and she still has a long way to go.
Stellan Skarsgård ($40 Million) & Alexander Skarsgård ($12 Million) At Age 35
[the_ad id="14919"]
Nobody questions the fact that Stellan Skarsgård is the best actor Sweden has ever given birth to, and with his unmatched appearances on Mamma Mia!, Pirates of the Caribbean, and other blockbusters, he now sits on a $40 million fortune. His handsome son Alexander has already taken the big acting step, having recently starred on The Legend of Tarzan.
However, he has been quite a known face ever since he performed the part of a vampire in the dark fantasy show True Blood. With a $12 million net worth, maybe he is a little less rich than his father, but then that amount is considerably big as well.
Debbie Reynolds ($85 Million) & Carrie Fisher ($25 Million) At Age 23
[the_ad id="14919"]
Every time Debbie Reynolds smiled, it seemed like the whole world shone, and her career that lasted for seven decades was no coincidence. We still remember her performance on Three Little Words, and when she passed away in 2016, she had $85 million in the bank.
One can assume though that her daughter Carrie Fisher was just as successful, with the portrayal of Princess Leia on the Star Wars franchise being unforgettable, earning the actress a $25 million fortune. It was a sad coincidence that Carrie also bid adieu to the world in the same year - just one day ahead of her mother.
Anthony Perkins & Oz Perkins ($1.5 Million) At Age 27
[the_ad id="14919"]
Many actors managed to become stars from Hitchcock's films, just like Anthony Perkins who portrayed Norman Bates in the iconic Psycho and its subsequent films. He was also nominated for an Oscar for his work on Friendly Persuasion.
His son Oz, though he originally pursued an acting career and even played the young Bates on Psycho II, eventually became a producer and a writer, mostly in the genres of horror and thriller movies. Now 44 years old, and with a $1.5 million fortune, he has been doing quite well in the industry.
Carrie Fisher ($25 Million) & Billie Lourd ($20 Million) At Age 23
[the_ad id="14919"]
When you are the daughter of Carrie Fisher and granddaughter of Debbie Reynolds, you can't go wrong in the acting industry. Billie Lourd inherited her late mother's acting charisma and beautiful looks, and now she has already managed to become a pretty recognizable actress with stunning performances in Scream Queens and American Horror Story.
Though Lourd is just 26 years old, she's pretty close to reaching her mother's fortune, now sitting on $20 million. Looking at her busy schedule with films and television shows, it can be assumed that she will reach that mark soon.
Steven Tyler ($130 Million) & Liv Tyler ($20 Million) In Their 30s
[the_ad id="14919"]
Being one of the biggest rock stars of his generation, Steven Tyler now has riches only top-notch musicians get, sitting on a massive $130 million fortune. His proudest achievement, though, is his wonderful daughter Liv, who portrayed Arwen on The Lord of the Rings franchise.
Since then, she became a celebrity, and acting suits her, even if she originally started out as a teen model. Liv also enjoys an impressive wealth which sums up to around $20 million, but considering that her father's testament is going to be pure gold, this number is bound to increase.
Vanessa Paradis ($150 Million) & Lily-Rose Melody Depp ($1 Million) At Age 18xc
[the_ad id="14919"]
Lily-Rose Depp is now among the hottest rising stars of our time, and surely, the fact that her parents are Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp gave her a headstart.
However, the star kid has managed to become famous both in the acting and the modeling industry, and she has inherited her mother's stunning European beauty and father's acting prowess. Though Lily's fortune is now estimated to be around $1 million (which is a much smaller number than her mother's), she's just 19 years old, so imagine what's yet to come.
Kim Basinger ($40 Million) & Ireland Baldwin ($1 Million) In Their 20s
[the_ad id="14919"]
Kim Basinger's looks still rock the world, but she's not just that. An Oscar-winning actress as well, she starred in some of the biggest blockbusters, such as L.A. Confidential and Never Say Never Again.
Her $40 million fortune is not a coincidence. Basinger has a beautiful daughter, Ireland Baldwin, and despite having a rich father like Alec Baldwin, Ireland wants to increase her $1 million net worth by making it big on the runway. She's already an IG model, and we're eager to see how far she's going to make it. Wishing her luck here!
Robert Pine ($4 Million) & Chris Pine ($20 Million) In Their 30s
[the_ad id="14919"]
You have to admire Robert Pine's dedication to acting. Despite having debuted back in the '60s, he's still active, and he has been rewarded with a $4 million fortune. Amazingly, his son Chris Pine is even more talented, and surely, wealthier at the moment.
After landing his breakthrough role in the newest Star Trek movies, Chris is now a star, and his $20 million fortune is expected to become much bigger. If he continues to make the right choices as he does now, we're sure the handsome actor would become a multi-millionaire in the next couple of years.
Damon Wayans ($35 Million) & Damon Wayans Jr. ($9 Million) At Age 30
[the_ad id="14919"]
Looking at Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr., the last thing you would think of would be a DNA test. These two look like clones of one another, and maybe that's why they also have almost the same name.
Wayans' talent in comedy resulted in him ending up with a $35 million fortune, and he must have set up some good trust funds for his son. Wayans Jr. now has a $9 million to his name, with roles he landed in popular TV series such as Happy Endings and New Girl.
John Lennon ($800 Million) & Sean Lennon ($200 Million) At Age 31
[the_ad id="14919"]
John Lennon's work is unforgettable. Being a co-founder of The Beatles, which most people consider the most influential band ever, he had a whopping $800 million fortune at the time of his death.
You may have now realized why inheriting heaps of money was the best thing that has ever happened to Sean Lennon. He now has a staggering $200 million fortune, which mostly came from his father's assets and his own music career. Sean is active as a musician, guitarist, and producer, but even if his career goes through a rough phase, the wealth he received is sufficient enough to give him a comfortable life.
Lisa Bonet ($10 Million) & Zoë Kravitz ($4 Million) In Their 20s
[the_ad id="14919"]
Lisa Bonet's acting career has been impressive, just like that of her daughter Zoe Kravitz. Bonet is known for having portrayed Denise Huxtable in the iconic series The Cosby Show, a role which brought her some good earnings and a $10 million fortune eventually.
Lisa's daughter with Lenny Kravitz is now a sought-after actress, having played in movies such as The X-Men and Mad Max: Fury Road. At the same time, though, she's also killing it on catwalks across the U.S., having $4 million to be counted as her current net worth.
Martin Sheen ($50 Million) & Charlie Sheen ($10 Million) At Age 28
[the_ad id="14919"]
We love seeing father and son duos become celeb material, and initially, Martin Sheen was the one who made it big as an actor. The veteran has accumulated $50 million this far. On the other hand, Charlie Sheen became huge when he starred on Two And A Half Men.
Although he once used to be the top-paid actor in the world of television, there was a considerable drop in his wealth due to the rise of personal and professional problems. Still, Charlie has maintained the status of being a millionaire with a fortune worth $10 million.
Tom Hanks ($350 Million) & Colin Hanks ($15 Million) At Age 25
[the_ad id="14919"]
Describing Tom Hanks’ acting career in a few lines would be impossible, and with more than 50 awards in his pocket, and several roles in his portfolio, the actor's massive $350 million fortune doesn't surprise us at all.
Though Colin Hanks, his son, decided to increase the number of actors in the Hanks family, reaching Tom's accomplishments is not an easy goal to fulfill. In any case, however, Colin has appeared in acclaimed TV shows such as Orange County and currently, Life in Pieces. He currently has a cool $15 million fortune.
Melanie Griffith ($30 Million) & Dakota Johnson ($14 Million) At Age 25
[the_ad id="14919"]
If you liked the 1988 movie Working Girl, then you must have loved acclaimed actress Melanie Griffith. Her marriage to Don Johnson only increased her celebrity status, and after a few years in the industry, she already had a $30 million fortune.
Nowadays, it's her daughter Dakota Johnson's time to shine, who came from relative obscurity to land the leading role on the 50 Shades Of Grey franchise and become a Hollywood star overnight. Dakota is now worth $14 million, and with more roles to come, her paychecks would likely rise further.
Dustin Hoffman ($50 Million) & Jake Hoffman At Age 34
[the_ad id="14919"]
Dustin Hoffman is another Hollywood legend whose kid admired his work so much, that he decided to become an actor as well. Doesn't that story sound familiar? It's quite natural for a child to see a role model in their parents.
Dustin's roles in Rain Man and Kramer vs. Kramer granted him two Academy Awards and a $50 million wealth. Although his son Jake's exact net worth is not known yet but considering his regular appearances in films, it can be assumed that he is doing pretty well. At present, Jake is also exploring his writing and directing abilities alongside acting.
Bruce Willis ($180 Million) & Rumer Willis ($3 Million) At Age 18
[the_ad id="14919"]
The Die Hard movies made Bruce Willis one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and apart from fame, the films also brought the renowned actor some serious money. His marriage to Demi Moore granted him another gift, his daughter Rumer Willis, who is now on the right path of reaching her father's fame and fortune.
Rumer has appeared on House Bunny and Empire, along with having won the Dancing With the Stars' 20th season. For now, she's got $3 million, but given the great genes of talent she is carrying in her blood, that amount is sure to get higher.
Jada Pinkett ($20 Million) & Willow Smith ($4 Million) At Age 19
[the_ad id="14919"]
The way the Smith kids are growing in terms of popularity, their mother Jada Pinkett must be proud of them. The popular actress rose to fame in the '90s, with roles both on small and silver screen.
After her marriage to Will Smith, Willow Smith was the second child born to the couple, and the young star already has had a pretty successful music career. Her hit single Whip My Hair topped the charts, and at merely 17 years of age, she already has an impressive $4 million fortune. It looks like the little girl is soon going to beat her parents' riches.
Donald Sutherland ($60 Million) & Kiefer Sutherland ($75 Million) At Age 35
[the_ad id="14919"]
Donald Sutherland's acting career spreads over a 50-year period, though younger generations mostly know him for his role on the Hunger Games franchise, which greatly benefited his $60 million fortune.
Keifer Sutherland (Donald's son) is also very successful among acting circles, and with his role in the action drama 24, the much-acclaimed TV series, he has shown what he's capable of doing in front of the camera. Speaking in terms of wealth, Keifer has already outperformed his famous father with a present estimated net worth of $75 million. Pretty big an achievement, right?
Robert Downey Sr. ($10 Million) & Robert Downey Jr. ($300 Million) At Age 34
[the_ad id="14919"]
After appearing in tons of movies and TV shows, Robert Downey St. had established himself as a successful actor during the '60s and '70s, now has amassed a $10 million fortune. Funny thing is, his son's fortune is 30 times bigger than his!
Robert Downey Jr. made his acting debut in the '80s, but problems with illegal substances led his career to a brief stop until he landed the lead role on Iron Man. All of a sudden, he became a Hollywood sensation, and now he has a whopping $300 million net worth.
Kris Jenner ($90 Million) & Kendall Jenner ($30 Million) In Their 20s
[the_ad id="14919"]
When it comes to making money, probably nobody can beat the Kardashian-Jenner group of families as they all are experts in that department. Kris Jenner is now perhaps the most famous matriarch in the world after the Keeping Up With the Kardashians' success. Her $90 million fortune is proof of how wealthy she is.
Just like her, her fabulous daughter Kendall is already rich, sitting on a $30 million fortune. She is now a household name in the modeling industry and has reserved a place among the most sought-after faces by teaming up with some of the biggest brands in the world.
David Beckham ($450 Million) & Brooklyn Beckham ($1 Million) At Age 16
[the_ad id="14919"]
One of the richest athletes ever, David Beckham got a $450 million fortune both by being a top football player and being successful in the modeling world. His son Brooklyn has definitely inherited those handsome looks, but he is not into sports.
In fact, Brooklyn has modeled a bit, but he is more interested in writing, and his biggest aspiration is to become a famous photographer. Even if Brooklyn doesn't make it big like his father (not that we doubt his capabilities), with the inheritance he is going to receive, he would still be a multi-millionaire.
Yolanda Hadid ($45 Million) & Gigi Hadid ($19 Million) At Age 18
[the_ad id="14919"]
Yolanda Hadid was a prominent model back in the day, and her time in the reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills only increased her $45 million fortune. She has two daughters, and the younger one, Gigi Hadid, is already a global star despite being just 23.
Having collaborated with globally acclaimed brands, Gigi is on every tabloid's front page, and the fact that she has $19 million shouldn't surprise you at all. Just imagine if this is the case now, what would be the amount of her riches in the coming few years!
Arnold Schwarzenegger ($400 Million) & Patrick Schwarzenegger ($1.5 Million) At Age 23
[the_ad id="14919"]
Actor? Bodybuilder? Politician? Whatever Arnold Schwarzenegger has done until now, he excelled at it, and since venturing into business, he has amassed an astounding $400 million empire.
His son Patrick may not have inherited those bulging muscles, but he took after his dad when it comes to a passion for acting. Patrick had appeared in some movies with minor roles, until his first starring role in 2018, in the film Midnight Sun. Now, he's looking forward to performing in lead roles to increase his earnings and has already achieved a $1.5 million fortune.
Paul McCartney ($1.2 Billion) & Stella McCartney ($75 Million) At Age 27
[the_ad id="14919"]
Music would not be the same without Paul McCartney and his unique singing and song-writing in The Beatles. He helped shaped modern pop and rock music, and his reward was equivalent to that: a staggering $1.2 billion fortune!
His daughter Stella could have become a musician as well, however, clothing was her passion, and she's now one of Britain's most acclaimed fashion designers. Her pioneering ideas resulted in this celeb kid having a $75 million fortune, all on her own. What makes Stella even more reputable is the support she shows for animal rights, which is something she applies in her work too.
Alan Thicke ($40 Million) & Robin Thicke ($15 Million) At Age 30
[the_ad id="14919"]
Alan Thicke's $40 million fortune (when he passed away in 2016) was the result of his unique acting skills, which, apart from lucrative roles, also granted him a spot in Canada's Walk of Fame.
The actor's legacy passed on straight to his son, Robin Thicke, who, unlike his father, has engaged in music and singing. Nowadays, Robin has teamed up with some of pop music's biggest stars such as Pharell and Nicki Minaj. Given the career path he has been following, there's no way his $15 million fortune is not going to get bigger.
Angelina Jolie ($100 Million) & Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt At Age 7
[the_ad id="14919"]
Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt is one of the twins and the youngest child of the super famous ex-couple Angelina and Brad. Isn't that a beautiful name? As much as it sounds lovely, it has a special sentiment attached to it. The middle name of this 10-year-old kid is after her grandmother's name, who passed away just a year before her birth.
Despite being an actress herself, it's quite surprising that Angelina doesn't want her children to pursue the same career. However, keeping in mind Vivienne's great genes, we're sure she will make it big if she ever chooses to join the film industry.
Beyoncé ($400 MillIon) & Blue Ivy At Age 1
[the_ad id="14919"]
When she started out as a part of the Destiny Child female band, Beyoncé might have never imagined of becoming that huge and rich. Ever since her solo career kicked off, many things have happened, like her sitting on a massive $500 million fortune.
The singer's daughter Blue Ivy is probably the most popular celeb kid currently, and she is definitely a spitting image of her mother. Considering that her parents have a combined fortune of $800 million, Blue Ivy is going to inherit some seriously big cash when she grows up.
Mick Jagger ($360 Million) & Georgia May Jagger At Age 25
[the_ad id="14919"]
Mick Jagger probably defines the term 'rock star', as his singing talent and arresting good looks made every woman fall in love with him back in the day. Now in his 70s and still performing, The Rolling Stones frontman is worth $360 million, making him one of the richest rock and roll artists.
Mick's gorgeous daughter, Georgia May Jagger, decided to take a shot at modeling, and she has indeed been successful, having collaborated with many acclaimed brands. After inheriting the facial features of her super famous dad, this 26-year-old would likely inherit his deluxe houses and other assets as well.
Heath Ledger ($16 Million) & Matilda Ledger At Age 9
[the_ad id="14919"]
Heath Ledger's untimely death still brings tears to our eyes, and each time we remember his one-of-a-kind portrayal of the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight, it feels amazing to see how gifted he was. We're pretty sure that his daughter Matilda misses him as well, but at least, Ledger has left behind an estimated $16 million.
With that inheritance, Matilda's life would be much easier as she grows up. For the time being, the 12-year-old lives with her mother Michelle Williams who is also a well-known actress of Hollywood.
Christopher Reeve ($3 Million) & Will Reeve At Age 25
[the_ad id="14919"]
Christopher Reeve wowed everyone with his iconic performance in the '70s movie Superman, but in 2004, he sadly passed away due to illness. Two years later, his wife Dana Reeve died as well, and their son Will Reeve had to go through tremendous grief while he was just 13.
Now, the teenage son of the late couple has grown up into a handsome young man who has the same well-built physique like his dad. Nowadays, Will is keeping busy building a career as a sports journalist apart from contributing to finding a cure to paralysis, which became the cause of the death of his beloved father.
Denzel Washington ($220 Million) & John David Washington ($140 Million) At Age 33
[the_ad id="14919"]
Denzel Washington is among the most versatile actors ever, and after roles in several blockbusters, he has now amassed a $220 million fortune. John David Washington is his son, and acting runs in the family's DNA, apparently.
However, before deciding to become an actor, John David played football as a student. He eventually quit the dream of becoming an NFL player and turned to the world of acting. His most known role until now is the one in the TV series, Ballers. Although John's wealth is a little less than his father, garnering $140 million on his own is a great deal of achievement.
Faith Hill ($80 Million) & Maggie McGraw At Age 19
[the_ad id="14919"]
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are country music's most famous power couple, and their illustrious music career has granted them luxuries other people can't even experience. Their joint bank account holds $165 million in it, and that means their three children can practically have whatever they want.
Their beautiful daughter Maggie McGraw is now 20 years old, but she hasn't expressed her thoughts about what career she is interested in pursuing. For the time being, she's a student at the University of Stanford and already giving a big reason to the doting parents for being proud of her.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson ($280 Million) & Simone Alexandra Johnson At Age 16
[the_ad id="14919"]
We admire Dwayne Johnson a lot. He managed to become a Hollywood star, even if he originally rose to prominence as a young wrestler in the ranks of the WWE. Now landing role after role, "The Rock" sits on an impressive $280 million fortune.
Where do you think his grand empire will go? Well, of course, to his beloved daughter, Simone Alexandra Johnson. We have seen her alongside her father at several red carpet events. She has now turned into a gorgeous 17 years old, and we are hoping to see her make a big screen debut soon.
Mel Gibson ($425 Million) & Milo Gibson At Age 27
[the_ad id="14919"]
Talking about big fortunes, Mel Gibson and his $425 million can tell you all about it. The action hero's roles in movies like Lethal Weapon and Braveheart have made him an absolute Hollywood god.
That's why Milo (his son) probably decided to become an actor as well. He looks just like his father and has already made a debut through the popular war drama Hacksaw Ridge. Though reaching Mel's level in terms of fame and riches would not be an easy target to achieve, Milo still has a lot of time to showcase his talent and win the audiences.
Chester Bennington ($30 Million) & Tyler Bennington At Age 12
[the_ad id="14919"]
There's not a single day rock fans don't think about Chester Bennington and his suicide. The iconic Linkin Park frontman was one of the most legendary rock singers of the 2000s. His son Tyler Bennington was born in 2006 and looks just like his father's 12-year-old version, which probably makes his pain even greater.
However, we believe that using his dad's $30 million net worth, Tyler would be able to shape his life the way he wants in the years to come or who knows if he earns a name even bigger than Chester.
Jack Nicholson ($400 Million) & Ray Nicholson At Age 26
[the_ad id="14919"]
Here's Johnny! Jack Nicholson's movies somehow always manage to become classics. Well, maybe that's why he has a $400 million fortune now. The Hollywood legend has five children, with Ray being one of them.
Ray, who is 26 years old, looks like a spitting image of Jack, and while he has made some film appearances, he's still in search of his breakthrough role. That said, it's always nice to know that even if all your business ventures in life come crashing down, your father's last will would sort everything out for you.
Leonard Nimoy ($45 Million) & Adam Nimoy At Age 60
[the_ad id="14919"]
Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of Spock in the original Star Trek series had made him the most loved character in the whole franchise. His name is tied to ST, and when he passed away in 2015, he had $45 million.
He had two children, and one of them is Adam Nimoy, who tried his luck in the acting industry mostly as a director and writer. Having inherited his father's last will and testament, he now lives a happy life alongside Terry Farrell, who, in fact, portrayed Jadzia Dax on Star Trek: DS9.
Diane Lane ($35 Million) & Eleanor Lambert At Age 23
[the_ad id="14919"]
Diane Lane never ceases to amaze us with her unique beauty and her acting prowess. We still remember her amazing and daring performance in the 2002 film Unfaithful, which earned her several award nominations and definitely increased her salary.
She now has a $35 million fortune, a big part of which would be able to help her daughter Eleanor Lambert achieve success in the modeling industry. Eleanor is now in her mid-20s and we think that having inherited her mother's looks, she has the tools to become a promising model.
Sofía Vergara ($160 Million) & Manolo Gonzalez-Ripoll Vergara In Their 20s
[the_ad id="14919"]
You have to be joking not to believe that Sofia Vergara is one of the hottest women in Hollywood right now. Her first steps towards fame were made in the modeling industry, where she quickly succeeded.
Now starring in the hit show Modern Family, the Colombian allure has managed to accumulate a $160 million fortune. Her son Manolo Gonzalez-Ripoll Vergara has inherited his mom's good looks, and not so surprisingly, he has also decided to make a career in acting for which he gets full support from his celebrity mother. We wish him luck too!
Julianne Moore ($50 Million) & Liv Freundlich At Age 16
[the_ad id="14919"]
Julianne Moore's acting talent and versatility can't be questioned, and we can't begin to mention all the iconic movies through which she graced the silver screen because it is not possible to mention all of them in just a few lines. Right now, Moore is mostly focused on raising her beautiful daughter Liv Freundli
ch, who is now 17 years old, striking a huge resemblance to her mother. While Liv has yet to choose a career, she has already been a limelight's favorite since a young age as everybody is used to see her accompany her parents to several public events.
Jayne Mansfield ($2 Million) & Mariska Hargitay ($50 Million) In Their 20s
[the_ad id="14919"]
Younger generations probably don't know Jayne Mansfield, but she once was one of the most famous female role models of the '50s and '60s. Sadly, she passed away at a very young age, so she was never able to witness the success of her daughter Mariska Hargitay who followed the same career path many years later.
Today, the beautiful actress starring in the hit long-running show Law & Order: SVU has become a famous celebrity and has built her own fortune of $50 million which is way more than that of her deceased mother.
Tom Cruise ($570 Million) & Suri Cruise At Age 6
[the_ad id="14919"]
Tom Cruise took Hollywood by storm after starring on Top Gun, and after numerous blockbuster movies, his bank account ended up with a whopping $570 million in it. His split from Katie Holmes went very public, but fortunately, his daughter Suri Cruise wasn't affected by all the drama happening around her.
It's obvious that Suri would become drop-dead gorgeous when she grows up, and she now stays with her mother. She's just 12, but if she ever thinks of taking a shot at modeling, it would be a lucrative choice.
Phil Collins ($260 Million) & Lily Collins ($8 Million) At Age 23
[the_ad id="14919"]
Decades went by, but Phil Collins' songs still stay relevant, and that's exactly why the legendary musician has a massive fortune of $260 million. Fame and fortune took a toll on his private life though, as his stunning daughter Lily Collins rarely saw him as a child.
Luckily, she doesn't hold any grudges and has been working hard to earn her spot in Hollywood. She's a truly promising young actress (remember her performance in Abduction?), and her on-screen presence is pleasing enough. It seems that making money runs in the family's blood.
Diana Ross ($250 Million) & Tracee Ellis Ross ($16 Million) At Age 39
[the_ad id="14919"]
The world has witnessed many pop legends, and Diana Ross is one of them. The now 75-year-old singer released one after another hit songs, and it's no wonder that she has amassed a $250 million fortune to date.
While her daughter could have just settled down and lived a comfortable life with the help of her filthy-rich mom, Tracee Ellis Ross chose an independent way and proved that she is a woman of many talents as well, finding success in many fields - from acting and directing to TV hosting and modeling.
Jack Nicholson ($400 Million) & Lorraine Nicholson At Age 26
[the_ad id="14919"]
Apart from a son, legendary actor Jack Nicholson also has a daughter, Lorraine Nicholson, who aspires to reach her father's massive $400 million fortune (at least someday). Lorraine sure has a lot to learn from him when it comes to acting, but she has stated that she doesn't want to land roles because of her last name.
Instead, she is committed to establishing her own success in everything, just like a regular new-comer. Lorraine is not completely a fresher in the industry, though, as she has appeared in a few roles and has also started a journey as a writer and director of short films.
Dennis Quaid ($40 Million) & Jack Quaid At Age 25
[the_ad id="14919"]
Dennis Quaid's acting portfolio has been remarkable, and all his activity in Hollywood gifted him with a cool $40 million fortune. His son is Jack Quaid (which he had with former wife Meg Ryan), and you might know him from the blockbuster films The Hunger Games and Rampage.
Ever since Jack made an acting debut, he has managed to gain fair public attention through both television and films which is pretty impressive given the fact that he is only a few years old in the industry. Probably Meg and Dennis will be recognized by his name in the years that approach. You never know!
Andie MacDowell ($20 Million) & Rainey Qualley At Age 27
[the_ad id="14919"]
Andie MacDowell's career has been glorious, and her $20 million fortune is probably small to what we'd expect it to be. Who needs money though when you have a daughter as beautiful as Rainey Qualley? Rainey is 28 years old and looks magnificent.
Looking at her, anybody would be easily convinced that she can make millions in the modeling industry, yet, this celeb kid is dedicated to making it big in the world of music. While she made some cameo acting appearances, her passion is music, and she's after it. Good looks and good voice - that makes a great combo for sure!
Tommy Lee ($70 Million) & Brandon Thomas Lee At Age 21
[the_ad id="14919"]
The fans of heavy and rap metal would instantly recognize Tommy Lee, who is known for founding bands like Methods of Mayhem and Mötley Crüe. As the drummer was once married to Pamela Anderson, he has a son named Brandon Thomas Lee who is now in his twenties and resembles a lot like his father's younger version.
Though, there is a lot of difference in their career choice as the offspring works as a model and actor, just like his mother. Along with appearing in several print campaigns, Brandon has also modeled for high-end brands like Dolce & Gabbana. With that face, he is going to go a long way!
Mandy Teefey & Selena Gomez ($60 Million) In Their 20s
[the_ad id="14919"]
You probably don't know anything about Mandy Teefey, Selena Gomez's mother. Teefey was a Hollywood producer when she became a mother, and honestly, she would never imagine that her daughter would have a $60 million net worth one day along with millions of fans - all that at such a young age.
Selena rose to stardom as a child actress playing for Disney films before launching her own music career, a business venture which eventually proved the wisest decision of her life, considering how big of a pop icon she has become now.
Sean Penn ($150 Million) & Dylan Penn At Age 26
[the_ad id="14919"]
Sean Penn is another legendary actor on our list who has an alluring daughter chasing a modeling dream. Penn's acting performance over the years has been transcendent, and with $150 million in the bank, he's enjoying the rewards of a fruitful career.
His daughter Dylan probably took after her mother Robin Wright (known for portraying Claire Underwood in Netflix's House of Cards), who passed her stunning looks to the former. Dylan is now aspiring to become a supermodel, and frankly, her appearance has the potential that could lead her closer to realizing her dreams.
Bob Dylan ($180 Million) & Jakob Dylan ($20 Million) At Age 33
[the_ad id="14919"]
What can we say about Bob Dylan? His music talent is one of a kind, and his successful career (and, of course, the $180 million fortune) is sufficient enough to prove it. As we know that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, the super star's son Jakob has made $20 million of his own, without depending on his father's riches.
So far, he has released six albums with The Wallflowers and two solo records and has also won two Grammy Awards. Bob must be beaming with pride - well, any father would have felt the same way!
Michael Jackson ($500 Million) & Paris Jackson ($100 Million) At Age 19
[the_ad id="14919"]
Michael Jackson changed the course of music forever. The absolute pop music god had a $500 million fortune at the time of his death. Can you imagine how big it would grow if he were still around? Paris Jackson would sure trade all the inheritance she received to have her father back as she always claimed that he had been a fantastic father.
Now, the wonderful celeb kid makes tons of bucks by making lucrative deals in many fields, from acting and singing to modeling and others. It seems like there is a special gene of talent that has been running in the Jackson family for generations.
Christie Brinkley ($80 Million) & Sailor Brinkley Cook At Age 20
[the_ad id="14919"]
Remember Christie Brinkley and her breathtaking Sports Illustrated photographs in a swimsuit? Of course, there would be hardly anyone who would have forgotten. She hasn't either, especially after bagging $80 million that came along with the success.
Christie's gorgeous daughter Sailor is now 20 years old and wants to become as famous as her mother by becoming a household name in the world of modeling. Judging by Sailor's looks, it might not be that hard for her, especially when she always has her highly experienced mom to support her throughout.
Galynn Brady & Tom Brady ($180 Million) At Age 40
[the_ad id="14919"]
Galynn Brady was just a mother like everyone else, and while her son was just a kid, she might have never imagined that one day she would be known for being the parent of a world-famous celebrity.
Tom Brady is now considered to be one among the top quarterbacks ever, and Galynn happens to be one of his biggest fans. His $180 million is well justified if you check out his NFL accomplishments, and after the star's marriage to supermodel Gisele Bündchen, that net worth has grown even higher. Well, he deserves it all.
Elvis Presley ($20 Million) & Lisa Marie Presley ($16 Million) At Age 40
[the_ad id="14919"]
When it comes to the legends who shaped rock music, Elvis Presley is always up there. He landed like a comet in the music industry of his time, and his untimely death shocked the whole world. The singer's $20 million fortune passed on to his daughter Lisa Marie Presley, who could have used it to benefit in many ways.
However, Lisa Marie embarked on a music career as well (being the daughter of Elvis, that doesn't come as a surprise anyway), achieving relative success. She now has $16 million, and that's a big achievement without a doubt.
Pierce Brosnan ($80 Million) & Dylan Brosnan In Their 20s
[the_ad id="14919"]
Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye Smith must be so proud of their son Dylan, especially after he decided to walk in his mother's footsteps. His father's $80 million fortune helped him boost his career at an early stage, and now Dylan is making money out of modeling for famous brands, taking the runways by storm.
He's only 21 years old, and while the senior Brosnan succeeded in a totally different field, it's pretty impressive that he chose to follow his passion rather than what others might have expected him to become.
Robert Downey Jr. ($300 Million) & Indio Falconer Downey At Age 24
[the_ad id="14919"]
Robert Downey Jr. managed to beat his demons and make a remarkable comeback from what seemed like a destroyed career which he has now transformed into a massive $300 million fortune and numerous acclaimed roles.
It's hard to believe that Robert has a 25-year-old son now and whenever they are spotted together, they look more like brothers rather than a father-son duo. After facing his own personal struggles, Indio Falconer Downey has been focusing on building a musical career, and we hope he achieves a success even bigger than his super popular father.
Prince Charles ($100 Million) & Prince William ($40 Million) At Age 33
[the_ad id="14919"]
Prince Charles is the man who's next in line to the British throne, and that obviously means loads of cash and reputation. Charles is currently sitting on a $100 million fortune, and his son Prince William couldn't be any happier, as the inheritance he's going to receive is going to be astronomical.
Not that William hasn't ever worked though. He has served Britain's Army and already has millions of dollars to his own name. At the moment, the elder son of the royal household is busy enjoying a married life with Kate Middleton and their three children.
Steve Jobs ($10.2 Billion) & Lisa Brennan-Jobs At Age 40
[the_ad id="14919"]
Steve Jobs was a true pioneer in the field of technology, and his death left the informatics world in shambles. His humongous $10.2 billion fortune was proof of how successful a businessman he was, and most of those bucks went to his daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs, whom he originally denied as being his daughter.
Now, Lisa fills her bank by being a fruitful writer and author, having collaborated with Vogue, The Oprah Magazine, and others. She's going to release her memoir Small Fry, which will reveal a lot of details about her childhood.
Anna Nicole Smith ($5 Million) & Dannielynn Birkhead At Age 8
[the_ad id="14919"]
Few women have achieved such success as a Playboy star, but Anna Nicole Smith wasn't just like any other woman. She later ventured into clothing, modeling, and acting, but she didn't have time to enjoy her $5 million, as she passed away just at 39 years of age.
She had two children, and one of them is Dannielynn Birkhead. Dannielynn was born in 2006, but she has already made her first modeling steps. With the money that she's going to inherit, she'll probably launch her career to bigger heights as she grows up.
John Travolta ($170 Million) & Ella Bleu Travolta At Age 18
[the_ad id="14919"]
John Travolta now stands among Hollywood's greatest, and his stunning performance in movies such as Grease and Pulp Fiction granted him with a pretty big reward, a $170 million fortune. His daughter Ella Bleu is just stunning and has already landed a few roles, which are expected to increase actually.
Taking after her father, both when it comes to looks and to career choices, it can be assumed that Ella will carry forward the fame and success. Not just because she is a star kid, but due to her own talent which has already been noticed in 2019's The Poison Rose.
Carole Middleton ($5 Million) & Kate Middleton ($10 Million) At Age 27
[the_ad id="14919"]
Kate Middleton wasn't a princess, but her family was pretty wealthy as it consisted of many businessmen and entrepreneurs. Her mother Carole has a combined $5 million fortune with her husband, but they might have never guessed that their beautiful daughter would marry into a royal family and become a Duchess with an individual net worth of $10 million.
Besides, these riches sum up to an even bigger number when merged with Prince William's empire. A perfect spouse, three gorgeous children, and a palace to dwell, what else could have Carole expected for her lovely daughter?
Snoop Dogg ($135 Million) & Cordell Broadus at Age 21
[the_ad id="14919"]
Snoop Dogg has been a hip-hop A-lister for quite some while now, and he knows every single way to make big bucks, as his $135 million fortune indicates. His son Cordell Broadus, however, is not much of a hip-hop enthusiast. As a student, Broadus played football for the University of California.
While everyone expected that the NFL was his dream, he quit football to become a fashion designer. We guess that having such a wealthy father can be a big asset when you want to launch your own career at something.
Seal Samuel ($30 Million) & Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel at Age 5
[the_ad id="14919"]
We don't know if you recognize him, but the boy on the left side is Seal, the world-renowned musician whose angelic voice earned him a cool $30 million fortune. Seal used to be married to supermodel Heidi Klum, and they had Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel together.
Quite a big name if you ask us, probably as big as the patrimony young Henry is going to receive in the upcoming years. He's just 13 years old so it's pretty early to assume which career path he might be choosing as a grown up. Let's just wish him luck for the future!
Goldie Hawn ($60 Million) & Kate Hudson ($38 Million) At Age 25
[the_ad id="14919"]
We don't think we can name a more iconic mother and daughter duo which fulfills the American blonde-and-hot standards that much. Goldie Hawn was adored by many during her heyday, and her remarkable career got her a nice $60 million fortune.
Hawn's adorable daughter, Kate Hudson, has pursued the same career and has been just as successful, now having a personal $38 million fortune which is only rising higher with time. Hudson continues to increase her acting portfolio, and we actually love seeing the star on the silver screen, both for her looks and acting skills.
Richard Gere & Homer James Jigme
Richard Gere stole a million hearts with his riveting performance in ‘Pretty Woman’ and ‘An Officer and a Gentleman.’ While staying in the limelight for over five decades, the father of three sons from two marriages has ensured that his kids stay away from the spotlight. He considers them to be the joys of his life.
While the younger two are only four and three, the oldest, Homer James Jigme, born to his second wife Carey Lowell in 2000, is a student at Brown University. The handsome young man loves music and is often spotted accompanying his famous dad in film festivals, but there is no indication of him following in his father’s footsteps.
