Born into the spotlight, the children of Britain's most famous faces often inherit a life of privilege. While many leverage their family name, a select few have successfully carved out their own professional identities, amassing personal fortunes that stand apart from the 'Bank of Mum and Dad'. Here, we examine the nepo babies who have become millionaires through their own ventures.
The Food, Fashion and Beauty Moguls
Brooklyn Beckham, the 26-year-old eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, has built a diverse portfolio far beyond his early forays into football and photography. His latest venture as a 'chef' and 'tastemaker' led to the launch of his £15-a-bottle hot sauce, Cloud 23, in October 2023. He plans to expand this into a full personal brand empire, having already set up a Californian company named Peltz Beckham. His business moves, including a pandemic-era Facebook Watch series 'Cookin' With Brooklyn' and the alcoholic drink brand Wesake, have contributed to an estimated personal fortune of £10 million, bolstered by deals with brands like Tiffany & Co. and Pepe Jeans.
In the beauty sector, Georgia May Jagger, 33, has proven herself a formidable businesswoman. The daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall is the co-owner of the hair dye company Bleach London. The firm's latest accounts show an impressive turnover of £10,189,183 in 2024, with a gross profit exceeding £3.2 million. While her modelling career provided a privileged entry, her business acumen has secured her financial independence.
Media, Modelling and Music Success
In broadcasting, Roman Kemp has made his own mark. The 32-year-old son of Martin Kemp and Shirlie, and godson of George Michael, built his profile hosting Capital FM's breakfast show before moving to BBC's The One Show. His performing arts firm, RHK Ltd, holds £2,685,785 in equity, with a 2024 profit estimated at around £828,000. His presenting roles at The BRITs and victory on Celebrity Race Across The World have cemented his standalone career.
The modelling world has its own nepo-baby millionaires. Lila Moss, 23, daughter of Kate Moss, has seen her business, Grace Grove, more than double its reserves. Accounts filed to May 2025 show reserves of £1,009,571, officially making her a millionaire. Similarly, Iris Law, 25, daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost and goddaughter to Kate Moss, has fronted major campaigns for Burberry and Versace, and walked for Victoria's Secret, with her net worth estimated to be at least £1 million.
Meanwhile, the younger Beckhams are forging distinct paths. Romeo Beckham, 23, has pivoted from football to fashion, signing with a top Paris agency, while Cruz Beckham, 20, is pursuing music with his band, Cruz Beckham And The Breakers, backed by a company partially funded by his mother.
Influencers, Chefs and Rising Stars
The digital sphere offers lucrative opportunities. Anais Gallagher, 25, daughter of Noel Gallagher, has cultivated a significant TikTok following of 177,000, sharing her life and even reportedly influencing the Oasis reunion tour setlist. Her work as a model and influencer is predicted to earn her 'hundreds of thousands' this year.
Gordon Ramsay's daughters are also building their brands. Tilly Ramsay, 24, a Strictly Come Dancing alum, is forging a career as a chef and influencer, having published a cookbook at 15 and graduated from the Ballymaloe culinary school. Her sister, Holly Ramsay, 25, has her own PR firm and podcast.
In acting, Mia Threapleton, 24, daughter of Kate Winslet, is carefully building her credentials with roles in projects like Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme'. Her half-brother, Joe Anders, 21, wrote the screenplay for his mother's directorial debut, 'Goodbye June', positioning himself for success in screenwriting.
These profiles reveal a clear trend: while a famous surname opens doors, sustaining a career and building a personal fortune requires individual ambition, business savvy, and, in many cases, a willingness to step out of a parent's formidable shadow.
