  1. they’re all white….. what a throw away comment.

    doh! did you actually look at the top 10 before making a stupid comment?

  2. Mubarak…hi…I think you are blind as fuck. It’s VERY OBVIOUS that numbers 10, 9, and 7 (of this list) would all be considered minorities. Nice try playing the race card, but you made yourself look like a moron! Congrats!

  3. All of the kids in this article all have rich parents so they inherit money off of them also there are actually a couple black people in there so yah do not play the race card.

  4. Except the ones who aren’t…. Jaden Smith…. Rico Rodriguez and Valentina Paloma Penalt…Jaylen Bledsoe 🙄…

  5. I think you guys should stop insulting the racist…he made a stupid mistake and he is sorry.
    Damn these kids are rich

  6. They’re taking all their anger out on the rich people. They know they can’t accomplish what they can. I mean jeesh, I’ve been saving ever Since I was 16 working. Now I got 100,000 dollars with the help of my brother. Opened a business at 21 and now make 2 million a year. If i did it out of a poor family, then anyone can.

  7. I think the comments on this subject are pointless. If you have health and love and support from just one other person. You are rich beyond any number. By the way before anyone thinks I’m religious or have any other agenda. STOP!!!!

  8. Good for you mate. I’ve never been envious of success and money as long as it’s been made with hard work. I never quite made it but I manage ok.

  9. Omg stop white people and black people work hard! Stop Acting like it’s just a politic thing everybody is wealthy in their own way and some people are wealthy by being Rich so don’t think that it’s a racism thing that more people a.k.a. white people have some more money than Black people🙄

  10. this is so dumb, the queen’s net worth is 350 million, how can her grandson be worth 1 billion, no way he won’t be worth anything because all the money of the British royals is handled by the crown estate IE the queen, the other royals (except prince Charles) are worth nothing.

  11. doesn’t work that way bro. The world is engineered such that a minority happens to hold publically approved skills, and the rest hold no sway in this world, leading to massive holes the majority of people live in. Do you think that because there are many people not doing well in this world that it is because they are all just lazy and don’t care. No. Equality will never exist by nature’s design.

  12. And the richest presidents and rulers on the planet are ALL but Putin, men of color. So, what’s your stupid point? P.S. when was the last time You created a business or computer program by 15 yrs of age?

  13. Why is everyone so flipping rude! I’m eleven and reading your comments of you guys bickering and aruging is pointless. If this frustrates you so much, why did you search this up?

  14. 1 comment about race and people go crazy. Let it go black white orange green. Who cares people. You only have what those that love you give you. No one is born wealthy you havent earned anything or inherited anything yet. All of us just have people that love us. So they share with us. It call be taken away or given to others

  15. I think there is something wrong with this world. For a child to be a billionaire and do nothing to make that happen is so wrong when millions of other children starve. Time to let royalty move on and earn a living. And quit draining the country financially.

  16. I was going to make another comment on your “envious” remark…But instead I’ll say this, Their parents worked hard, Making movies so that they could entertain you, get off your high horse and work hard, earn that money so that your children can be rich…it’s up to you!!! You should think before you type anything where the whole world can see your stupid remarks!

  17. wow that’s really awesome im only 12 and im saving up i wanted to spend it all yesterday and I didn’t I’m glad I didn’t because i hope I can make 2 million a year. 😀

  18. Who made this list? None of the Kardashian kids are on here-Stormie (Kylie/Travis) is probably worth 400million easy.

  19. Who? the topic is richest kids, not self-made kids, so is it wrong? No. besides there are few people that are self-made.

  20. All of these kids like most people said have rich parents all of them aren’t really kids, but for the ones who are didn’t work for it and you know what the next time when you redo this article you will put my name on here.

  21. Im sure that the person who commented that wasn’t black so dont assume its black people who play the race card

  22. Why does it matter what colour they are? As long as people like you still make a point of pointing out someones skin colour then racisim is never going away. Were all just people man, made from
    The exact same stuff, we all share the same biological make up, the same vulnerabilities, the same capacity to love, its not their fault on the main they were born into money, stop the hating man

  23. It’ can be confusing. Hope this is helpful.
    It’s not “their whites”, it’s “they’re / they are white”
    Their-ownership
    They’re- they are
    There- place/location

  24. Wow. One person made a stupid and obvious mistake and the whole comment stream devolved in to responding to the comment and nothing about the article or the kids who are on this list. Sad.

  25. Either you didn’t even read this or you’re trying to start some BS! Valentino, Rico, Jaylen and Jaden are not white and one is mixed. Stop being a racist!!!
