We did not bring wealth into the world. It's something that we acquire and work hard for. But, while our fathers had to toil for more hours just to make both ends meet, some were naturally born rich and have maintained their financial status. It seems so unfair to face this reality in life, but we need to understand that some of the rich have acquired their wealth in ways beyond what our bare hands can do.
Some have close acquaintances in their field that may have helped them get ahead while some are just fortunate heirs of a very wealthy clan. Others are simply known by the most influential people, even had their diapers changed by billionaire family friends. The rest are just banking on their extraordinary talents and skills that are money-making.
That is proven true of some celebrities we have in the Hollywood today. Their bank accounts have already been full long before they've projected on camera, and are just blessed enough to get the chance to become richer now that they have hit the spotlight.
So, My First Class Life features celebrities who were already rich long before they become popular. Take note of these five:
Robin Thicke
Robin Thicke is the son of Alan Thicke who played the role of the father on "Growing Pains," a family sitcom back in the 1980s. Although his father did not stay longer in the spotlight, he continues to be an icon in his native land Canada. With his smashing hit "Blurred Lines," Robin seemed to have replaced his father in the spotlight, not an actor but a provocative singer. He earned millions with his hit songs and music videos.
Psy
Psy hails from a rich clan of Gangnam District. He is a son of an executive for a semi-conductors manufacturer. Before he became a YouTube sentation for his record-breaking "Gangnam Style," he was bound to take over their family business. Yet after generating 2 billion views for his music video, which is the highest of all time, Psy finally does what he loves while earning big at the same time.
Adam Levine
Before jumping in the band named Maroon 5, Adam dabbled in drugs when he was still young, while his parents divorced at his teenage years. However, he came from a wealthy family with a father who's a businessman owning retail stores and an uncle who's an author. His band was originally Kara's Flowers and just started as a garage band but then discovered when they performed in a lavish party. He got connections and finally made it to Hollywood Music Industry.
Taylor Swift
Who would not get richer if your father, grandfather, and great great grandfather were bank presidents? Taylor's family supported her that they moved from Pennsylvania to Nashville to help her get a music career in the country. With her bankable talents and skills in composing songs and singing, Taylor got all of us crazy about her songs like "Love Story," "Shake It Off," "Blank Space," and many more that created last song syndromes in our head.
Miley Cyrus
Miley is the daughter of "Achy Breaky Heart" singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Billy's career came around from 1992 up to "Hannah Montana" of Disney Channel in 2006 - 2011 which her daughter Miley starred. Miley also embarked on acting where she's paired with real-life sweetheart Liam Hemsworth in the movie adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' Novel "The Last Song." After their controversial breakup, Miley bid goodbye to her long-hair-conservative stance and went out of her shell as an aggressive, provocative singer of "Wrecking Ball" which made her a mind-blowing worth $165 million artist.
