The 10 most powerful families in Hollywood (With Pictures)

6. The Smiths

While The Smith family may have one of the most common names in America, the level of success that every member of the family has obtained is definitely not common. First, the patriarch, Will Smith – he got his start in the late 80s as rapper The Fresh Prince, and quickly snagged an iconic role in sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He eventually turned that success into a big Hollywood film career. His wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, has snagged roles in the television series Hawthorne and in the Madagascar film franchise. Jaden, their son, has had a successful film career as well, starring in The Karate Kid and alongside dad in The Pursuit of Happyness. Finally, their daughter, Willow, put out the smash hit single “Whip My Hair,” and has been dabbling in music and acting as well.
