As someone who was not born into wild generational wealth, I'm always fascinated to learn which celebrities were. Well, Reddit user DarkValkyrie_ recently asked about exactly that in the r/popculturechat subreddit. Here are some of the top-voted responses:
1. Phoebe Waller-Bridge
"One that I don’t really hear discussed often is Phoebe Waller-Bridge. She has British aristocracy on both sides of her family, her dad was a big name in global finance, and she attended a prestigious school."
"Yeah, his grandfather, Samuel Goldwyn, produced the very first 'major-motion picture' in Hollywood. That's about as nepo baby as you can get in the industry."
"The first time I visited London I had to stop to Google when I passed the big, beautiful, old building with 'Bonham Carter House' carved into the stone above the entrance. I fell down a rabbit hole reading about her very rich, important family after that, LOL. Did you know she’s related to Florence Nightingale?"
"Her dad was a stockbroker. He was able to bankroll her early career . Not saying she isn't talented, but it helps to get a leg up (like your family moving to Nashville for your career)."
"Rashida Jones is an obvious answer. But many people don't know her mother's (Peggy Lipton) dad was a powerful, Ivy League-educated lawyer, who co-owned NBA teams (like the Celtics) and was a director of a film production and theatre chain holding company."
"Her dad was a French-American billionaire. She’s the coolest woman on the planet, and it blows my mind how cool she is after learning how fancy pants she grew up."
