Most celebrities, both young and old, have made their way to the top because they sacrificed their blood, sweat, and tears to get what they want. Perseverance, work ethic, and passion for their craft are just some of the common answers Hollywood stars give you when asked what is needed to gain fame and be successful. However, did you ever consider that maybe genetics might also play a role in getting famous?
People forget that some of the people they idolize already comes from a line of wealthy and well-known parents. The reason for forgetting could be that the son or daughter has outshone their parents’ reputation or it could simply be because you’re a millennial or a zoomer who are too young to know their parents.
You’ve probably heard of the phrase “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” and that’s exactly what’s happening on this list. Here are some celebrities who probably didn’t need to worry about their student loans since one or both of their parents were famous.
Abby Elliott | Daughter of Chris Elliott
Abby Elliott didn’t need someone to tell her that she was destined to be a comedian. Her family’s funny bone actually starts from her grandfather, Bob Elliott, who’s an American radio comedian. The comedian gene continues in her dad, Christopher Elliott, who’s known for his comedy sketches on Letterman, winning four Primetime Emmy Awards for his writing, and appearances in many TV shows and movies.
Along with her sister, Bridey Elliott, Abby has maintained and continued the family legacy and pursued comedy and acting. She didn’t pursue her degree and dropped out of college early since she decided that she wanted to be a comedian. Abby took classes at The Groundlings, and eventually, she started her career by doing sketches at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles. She has been a cast member of the highly popular Saturday Night Live starting from 2008 until her departure in 2012 and has now appeared in plenty of films and TV shows.
Alexander Skarsgård | Son of Stellan Skarsgård
Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård, or simply Alexander, is the eldest son of My and Stellan Skarsgård. His mother, My, is an actress and physician, while his father, Stellan, is a renowned Swedish actor. You might better recognize Stellan as the father of Will Turner, Bill Turner, in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, the brilliant physicist Dr. Erik Selvig in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or one of the potential fathers, Bill Anderson, in Mamma Mia!
Alexander started his acting career in Sweden when he played the leading role in Åke and His World when he was seven years old. He continued to land roles and, eventually, became a household name in Swedish television. However, unable to cope with being recognized at a young age, he stepped away from acting when he was 13 years old and didn’t think of returning until seven years later. Now, he’s known for his roles in True Blood, The Legend of Tarzan, and Godzilla vs Kong. Good thing he returned to the industry, as he rose to fame and has amassed a high net worth and several investments.
Allison Williams | Daughter of Brian Williams
We always think of updating our home security system every time we see Allison Williams. If you’re unsure where you’ve seen her, she famously plays the psycho girlfriend, Rose Armitage, in the hit horror flick, Get Out. She’s also the daughter of TV producer Jane Gillan Stoddard and NBC’s former Nightly News anchor and editor, Brian Williams. If you don’t know who Brian is, then you probably don’t follow the news. He was infamously known as the journalist who misrepresented events when he was covering the war in Iraq in 2003.
Although Allison’s father made questionable decisions, this didn’t affect her career in acting and writing. Her breakout role was given to her by Judd Apatow when he thought she should get a part in HBO’s drama-comedy series, Girls, in 2012. She has also appeared in NBC’s TV presentation of Peter Pan, Live!, opposite the legendary Christopher Walken.
Amelia Gray Hamlin | Daughter of Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin
Amelia Gray Hamlin probably has one of those black credit cards with no limit. I say that because she’s the daughter of two famous people – Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin. Lisa is an actress known for her soap opera roles in Melrose Place and Days of Our Lives. She has also appeared in the reality TV shows Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Celebrity Apprentice. Similar to her mother, Amelia’s dad, Harry, is also a talented actor. He’s played as the protagonist Perseus in the 1981 film Clash of the Titans and had a recurring role in AMC’s Mad Men.
However, even though she’s the daughter of celebrity parents, Amelia’s success was all her own. At 19 years old, her estimated net worth is already around $1 to 5 million. That’s due to her career as a model and a social media influencer.
Angelina Jolie | Daughter of Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand
You don’t need a degree in celebrity studies to know how widespread the popularity of Angelina Jolie is. She has been a household name in Hollywood ever since we can remember, and that was even before she got married to Brad Pitt. Who would’ve thought that the Tomb Raider herself was the daughter of celebrities? Her mother, Marcia Lynne “Marcheline” Bertrand, was an actress, producer, and humanitarian before her untimely passing in 2007. Meanwhile, her father, Jonathan “Jon” Vincent Voight, is a celebrated actor who won multiple awards.
Some of you might be curious as to why Angelina’s last name is Jolie while her dad’s surname is Voight. It’s because she got her last name legally removed and preferred to use her middle name instead since that was her stage name already. There is no concrete reason for the removal but it could very well be attributed to their dysfunctional father-daughter relationship.
Ashley Judd | Daughter of Naomi Judd
A finance degree isn’t needed to make money if you’re from a family of creatives. Just ask Ashley Tyler Ciminella or better known as Ashley Judd. We say she belongs to a family of creative artists because she’s related to the country singing duo, the Judds. Her mother is Naomi Judd and the other half of the duo, Wynonna Judd, is her half-sister. Her parents separated when she was still young so it was mostly Naomi who cared for little Ashley.
Ashley’s first TV appearance was in Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1991 and her first film role was in Ruby in Paradise in 1993. Since then, she has continued her acting career in film and TV and has appeared in movies like Norma Jean & Marilyn, Double Jeopardy, Dolphin Tale, Olympus has Fallen, and Divergent. If she’s not acting, Ashley spends her time on her humanitarian works, mainly on gender equality and women’s rights.
Bella Hadid | Daughter of Yolanda Foster
You have to give credit where credit is due. Isabella Khair Hadid, or better known as Bella Hadid, alongside her older sister Gigi, was raised by former model and now reality TV star Yolanda Foster. That’s probably why both Bella and Gigi are such great models – they got it from their mother. Yolanda was signed with Ford Models and modeled in different countries and cities in her prime. She was in the modeling business for fifteen long years before deciding to settle down and create a family.
Bella began her modeling career way back in 2012 when she was still sixteen. When she moved to New York in 2014, she studied photography briefly at Parsons School of Design. However, since signing with IMG has catapulted her career, she had to drop out of school. Bella also expressed that once she’s done with modeling, she would like to pursue a career in fashion photography.
Ben Stiller | Son of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara
Benjamin Edward Meara Stiller, or more formally known as Ben Stiller, is one of the funniest comedians of our time. It’s like he has comedy running through his veins like electricity, and he does! His parents are none other than Gerald “Jerry” Stiller and Anne Meara, two parts of the 60’s comedy team Stiller and Meara. Jerry made a late comeback, which started in his role in Seinfeld and continued in The King of Queens. Anne, on the other hand, had expanded her reach to TV, stage, film, writing, and video.
Combining what both his parents had and his own skills, Ben has starred in, written, produced, and directed over fifty films including The Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Madagascar, and many more. After following in his parents’ footsteps, he has received multiple awards throughout the entirety of his career.
Billie Lourd | Daughter of Carrie Fisher

She’s also the one and only child of Star Wars legend and princess, Carrie Frances Fisher. Carrie was beloved by fans around the world and that love also spread to her daughter like gas. Sadly, she passed away in December 2016 due to cardiac arrest.
Before her mother’s passing, Billie auditioned for the role of Rey in the new Star Wars sequel trilogy. Ultimately, we all know they chose Daisy Ridley for that character but Billie was still signed for another role, Lieutenant Connix. She also played a young Princess Leia in a flashback scene in which the visual effect artists generated Carrie’s younger face onto her.
Brooklyn Beckham | Son of Victoria and David Beckham
The Beckhams should get home security if they haven’t already because their son could be chased by crazy teenage girls. Brooklyn Joseph Beckham is the eldest son of the former soccer player, David Beckham, and former member of Brit girl group Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham. The couple’s guidance has resulted in him playing for Arsenal F.C. Academy, Arsenal Football Club’s youth system, albeit only for a short time before he began a career in modeling.
Despite the fact that he’s still 22 years old, Brooklyn has decided to stop going to school in Parsons School of Design after a year, and instead, return to the United Kingdom for a photography internship in 2018. The following year, he interned for the famous British photographer, Rankin. He’s also announced his engagement with The Last Airbender star, Nicola Peltz, last July 2020.’
Bryce Dallas Howard | Daughter of Ron Howard

On the other hand, the latter had a worldwide gross of more than $890 million. Apart from her achievement in showbiz, Bryce was able to finish college after 21 years, and she delightedly shared this milestone on Instagram.

Carrie also wrote the screenplay of the Meryl Streep starring film Postcards from the Edge.

He got his stage surname from his actor dad, Martin Sheen, whose real name is Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez.
Charlie used to be the highest-paid actor on television after receiving $1.25 million per episode of the sitcom, Two and a Half Men. He might seem very successful, but he was also infamous for hiring a lawyer for his legal battles with former wives and other illegal activities, which greatly affected his net worth. As of 2020, Charlie has a net worth of only $10 million, which is way low compared to his $40 million annual salary during the peak of the previously mentioned series.

Ladies, we know, he has one of the most attractive blue eyes in all Hollywood! If you didn’t know, Christopher Whitelaw Pine is from a celebrity family.
