The 17 Richest Kids of the World

As parents, we all wish for the best for our kids. We all hope they turn out okay as adults and that they live the best life they could possibly have.

And by best, we often refer to living a financially sound life where they will never have to struggle when it comes to money. Or at least, they will never have to starve themselves or their families due to the lack of it.

Today, we’ve listed the richest kids in the world, who aren’t even beyond their teens, by the way. This will either inspire you — or make you feel envious. LOL.

While some of them got it from their equally rich parents, many of those in the list are actually self-made and got their riches from their own blood, sweat and tears.

Way to go! Here are the kids whose riches will probably already last them a lifetime…

17. Bella Thorne, 17 ($2 million)

She is best known as Ruth Spivey in the TV series My Own Worst Enemy and CeCe Jones in the Disney Channel series Shake It Up. Bella has also recently added yet another profession up her sleeve after signing a deal to write a series of books, the first of which is called Autumn Falls.
