Net worth is an interesting measure of celebrity for most people. After all, the average person likely never has a net worth numbering in the millions, let alone the ability to buy million-dollar cars, multi-million-dollar homes, and luxury brands.
Though net worth is a bit misleading because it totals up a person's entire assets, it's still fascinating to see just how much cash celebrities have accumulated and spent. It's even more intriguing when their children develop their own wealth thanks to their parents' celebrity. Plenty of celebrity kids are rich, but there's one that stands apart from the rest, and their name might be surprising.
Rich Celebrity Kids Typically Rank For Their Parents' Wealth

In general, celebrity kids are considered rich because of the wealth their parents have. In terms of net worth, that includes not just money in the bank, but property, too.
Net worth will factor in a celeb's bank balances, owned property like cars, houses, and luxe jewelry, and contrast that against any debts they hold. In some cases, it will also incorporate the debt of the companies or brands the celebrities own.
Some sources report that kids' net worths are based on the actual money their parents have set aside for them, but that's a tricky calculation to make since most celeb parents aren't going to share their bank account information willingly.
Therefore, it's important to take the numbers with a grain of salt. Either way, though, celebrity kids are rolling in more dough than the average person will accumulate in a lifetime.
The Kardashian-Jenner kids, for example, are worth anywhere from $3 million to about $76 million. Stars like Salma Hayek's daughter (her dad is super-rich) and Suri Cruise (with two powerhouse celeb parents) are clearly going to be worth mega-millions by default.
Even some stars like JoJo Siwa earned their own money before turning 18; at 17, JoJo was worth about $12 million.
Other children, such as Ryan from Ryan's World, have also built empires based on their adorableness and marketability.
But when it comes to the celebrity child with the highest net worth across the globe, the top contender might be surprising.
Princess Charlotte Is The Richest Celebrity Kid In The World
As of 2023, Princess Charlotte is apparently the richest celebrity child in the world, even outranking her older brother, the future king. Prince George is apparently worth close to $4 billion.
There's some murkiness in the numbers, though; most sources agree that Princess Charlotte's net worth is somewhere around five billion dollars. However, some sources report that figure as her future net worth; as in, she's not worth that yet.
Of course, it's entirely possible that Charlotte is already worth $5 billion given her position in the royal family and perhaps even the fact that she's the only daughter in direct line for the throne.
In that case, the calculations might stem from her parents' current wealth, which could also increase or decrease.
It's hard to say exactly how any source arrived at the figure, but Princess Charlotte does seem to be holding her own in the net worth competition; since 2018, headlines have touted her as the richest celebrity child.
In rankings for early 2023, she still appears to take the lead.
That said, there are likely richer children in the world, but perhaps not as well-known as the Royals or the Kardashians (though those two groups are clearly different facets of the entertainment world).
Net Worth Rankings Often Shift, Even For Celebrity Kids
While many publications called Princess Charlotte the richest child in the world, it's possible things could change, and quickly.
In fact, other sources are already reporting updated figures that suggest Charlotte might lose her spot, if she hasn't already lost it, early in 2023.
Clearly, there are tons of factors involved in determining just how rich a celebrity kid is, and one of them is how their parents are spending and earning money. Another is how much various publications even know about the celebrities in question, let alone their kids.
Family wealth is another factor, especially for the Royal family and its history of having tons of cash flow. Charlotte's net worth will likely grow as she gets older, but there's no telling where she'll rank on the charts anywhere from a month to years down the line.
Then again, if she develops her persona into a brand of some sort, or launches a company later, she might grow her net worth all on her own.
