Many celebrities, like Sarah Jessica Parker, start from scratch and earn their money and fame through talent and hard work. Some celebrities are born with a silver spoon. Here are some 20 celebrities who were born rich: Jordin Sparks Sparks achieved fame by becoming the youngest winner of ‘American Idol’, when she won season 6. She was able to follow her dreams on the reality television show due to the support of both her successful parents. Her father, Phillipi Sparks, was an NFL cornerback whilst her mother is a successful entrepreneur. Sparks tries to mention her parents as little as possible as she wants to be deemed a success in her own rights. Anderson Cooper Much of Cooper’s family wealth comes from his mother’s family. Her parents were millionaire equestrian Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and his socialite wife, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt. He made his first showbiz appearance alongside his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, on The Tonight Show in 1970. He was educated at the Dalton School, an independent school in New York City. Since his The Tonight Show appearance he has gone on to become a television personality in his own right, anchoring his own show on CNN. Navigate using arrows below James Blunt Blunt’s father served as a colonel in the British Army Air Corps, which may explain his own involvement in the army before his music career. As a child he attended the prestigious British independent school Harrow. Following a military subsidised university education Blunt served in the British Army before achieving worldwide fame with his hit debut single, ‘You’re Beautiful’. He has since sold over 20-million albums worldwide and has accrued a huge Twitter following thanks to his sharp wit and cutting putdowns to haters. While Blunt argues growing up in wealth does not advantage people to gain a head start in the entertainment industry, looking at this list it is difficult to argue it does not help just a tiny bit.

While Thicke is famous for his music career, showbiz runs within his family with both his parents appearing in long-running American television soaps. His father, Alan Thicke, is an actor, game show host, song writer and talk show host. He was Dr. Jason Seaver on ‘Growing Pains’ and his mother appeared on the celebrated soap ‘Days of Our Lives’ . With showbiz credentials like this it is not a surprise at all to find Thicke carrying out his career in the limelight. Gloria Loring and Alan Thicke are his parents. Gloria is an American singer and actress. Alan Alan and Gloria were well to do when Robin was born. Psy Psy is a South Korean singer, rapper, dancer, songwriter, television personality and record producer. Psy’s hit single ‘Gangnam Style’ satirises the spread of Western culture in the Gangnam district of Seoul, the South Korean capital city. Psy was able to grow up in such an affluent area due to wealth of his parents. Park Won-Ho, his father, is the executive chairman of DI Corporation and his mother is an incredibly successful restaurateur in her native South Korea. Mike Posner Mike Posner is an American singer, songwriter and producer. He was raised in the affluent suburb of Southfield, Michigan by his parents Roberta Henrion (a pharmacist) and Jon Posner (a criminal defense attorney). In Southfield Michigan, the annual income for a family of four is around $115,000. The tuition fee of the college (Duke University) where he studied is about $56,000 a year. Ed Sheeran Whilst Sheeran had a relatively affluent childhood, much has been made of the struggle he faced to achieve success in the music industry. Ed grew up in the British market town of Framlingham with his parents, who together have run the art consultancy Sheeran Lock. His mother Imogen is also a jewelry maker. Before the success of his breakthrough single, ‘A-Team’, Ed slept rough on the street between gigs as he couldn’t afford to pay for hotel rooms. Much like many on this list he refused to use his parents’ wealth to further himself. SEE ALSO: 15 female celebrities who love going nude - #1 is a must see!

Her mother Joan Grande is the CEO of Hose-McCann Communications and father Edward Butera is a graphic designer. They are pretty well off. Julia Louis Dreyfus Julia Louis Dreyfus was born into a family that already included a rich great-grandfather and father. Her great-grandfather, in 1851, founded Louis Dreyfus Energy Services, a shipping conglomerate in French commodities. Decades later the family is still running the company. Her father was the chairman of the company and was already a billionaire by the time she was born. While Julia Louis-Dreyfus has made a sizeable fortune from a number of her television appearances including Seinfeld , The New Adventures of Old Christine and Veep , it is fair to say this does not scratch the surface of her family fortune. Her father, Gerard Louis-Dreyfus’ wealth is estimated at $3.4billion, meaning that Julia is by far the richest member of any family in this list. Rooney and Kate Mara Twin actresses Rooney and Kate Mara were born into rich families on both their mom and dad’s sides. The twin’s father’s family is the one responsible for the founding of the New York Giants and their mother’s family founded the Pittsburgh Steelers. To this day both families continue to run their respective football teams. Adam Levine Adam Levine is a singer and a songwriter. Adam Levine was also born into wealth. While Levine has achieved fame as front-man of Maroon 5 and as a judge on The Voice, he could have taken a different turn and followed in his father’s footsteps. Levine has always been recognised as a fashionable and stylish man and this should be no surprise as his father, Fred, is the founder of Los Angeles clothing retailer M. Fredric.

It was inevitable Miley would become a musician, following in the footsteps of her father Billy Ray Cyrus. Cyrus grew up on a 500-acre farm in Franklin with her parents and had a keen interest in singing and acting from an early age. She was just 11 when she landed the role of Hannah Montana in 2006.

Sam Smith Sam Smith has recently become a worldwide superstar owing to the success of his debut album ‘In the Lonely Hour’.
