Celebrities Who Were Rich Before They Were Famous

For most celebrities, it is a struggle to get to the top when pursuing their Hollywood dreams. Most celebrities get rich after becoming famous. However, these lucky stars were born into wealth, getting a taste of the good life before fame.

Taylor Swift

When Taylor Swift takes to the stage, she confidently commands it. It’s no surprise the talented singer has rocketed to success. Her parents were already well-off before she was famous, and played a massive part in helping her get where she is today. Her father, a bank president, moved his career to a new bank in Nashville to support his daughter’s dreams, while Taylor’s mom successfully worked in finance. Swift’s father also bought part of the music label, Big Machine, which signed the singer.

As a child, Lady Gaga lived in the Upper West Side of Manhattan with her parents and younger sister, Natali Germanotta, where she attended private school. Her real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, and she was born in 1986. Gaga’s parents were both affluent long before she became successful.

Ariana Grande

Singer, songwriter, and actress Ariana Grande, already a two-time Grammy-winning artist, rose to fame for her role as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series, Victorious. It is evident she comes from a well-educated and successful family. She was raised by her mother, Joan, who owned manufacturing company Hose-McCann Communications, and her father, Edward, who owned a graphic design business in Florida. It was her parents who helped Grande get gigs with orchestras and performances on cruise ships. She had the opportunity to perform in front of some very big audiences at the very young age of eight when she sang the National Anthem before the start of a Florida Panthers game.
