We all love a rags to riches story, about how someone was born with not very much, worked hard, fought to better themselves, to have a better existence, and then eventually achieved the fame and fortune and made all their wishes come true. Such individuals act as an inspiration to many and are living proof that if you want something badly enough, there’s nothing stopping you from going out and grabbing it. The majority of the celebs out there do what they do because they love it. Not many will openly come out and say that money’s a big motivation, that they’re doing what they’re doing just to make their bank balance swell. More..

But money’s got to be a major factor, perhaps not initially when they were starting out in their respective careers, but certainly as they began tasting more fame. Cash is a major incentive behind people doing a lot of things – like it or hate, you can’t deny it – everyone wants and needs cash, and more of it.
But for some celebs, money hasn’t really been an issue. They haven’t had to deal with money concerns at any point of their lives. That’s because they were born into wealthy families; they had that taste of money from a young age, and just wanted more of it.
It must have been great growing up with such a privileged lifestyle, and it must have enabled these celebs to express themselves in any way they wanted to, to have the freedom to pursue their own passions.
Here are 13 celebs for whom money’s never been a problem – celebs who were born wealthy:
13. Ariana Grande
Not taking anything away from what this singing sensation has achieved during the course of her still relatively young career, but Ariana Grande is one woman who some might say was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
She was born and raised in quite an affluent area in Boca Raton, Florida, and certainly had a privileged childhood. That’s because her parents are both very successful business people. Her mom, Joan Grande, is the chief executive officer of Hose-McCann Communications, a company that deals in telephone and alarm systems. But it’s her dad who’s been raking in the cash and is a prominent name in the world of graphic design. He’s also at the helm of his company, and owns Ibi Designs Inc. which he runs out of Ariana’s hometown. The company can claim to have several high-profile clients, including the likes of Eddie Murphy and the toy company, FAO Schwarz. With parents as successful as hers, it’s understandable that money’s never really been an issue in the Grande household.
