World's Hottest Billionaire Offspring
- <p>
<strong>Bernard Ecclestone, #418 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/bernard-ecclestone/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $2.8 billion</strong></p>
<p>
Petra, 23, is the daughter of Bernard Ecclestone, CEO of Formula One and perhaps the most glamorous heiress on our list.</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/petra-ecclestone-2011-6?op=1">As we've reported before</a>, Petra lives quite the luxurious lifestyle with multiple million-dollar estates across the world, including the former Spelling estate, once the most expensive home in America, for which she paid $85 million.</p>
<p>
It is no surprise that Petra is a former model, but this heiress is a working girl as well. As an ambassador for the Meningitis Trust and an aspiring fashion designer with multiple lines, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/petra-ecclestone-inside-fabulous-life-22-year-heiress/story?id=14184051#.T-DUMyvC5vk">Petra proudly boasts about working 8 hour days</a>.</p>
<p>
Nevertheless, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2064722/Petra-Ecclestone-wedding-Mother-Slavica-says-12m-extravaganza-worth-penny.html">Petra's recent wedding cost £12 million</a> with performances by Eric Clapton, The Black Eyed Peas and David Guetta; nothing big compared to Bernie's $2.8 billion net worth. </p>

<strong>Sir David Barclay, #358 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/david-frederick-barclay/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $3.2 billion</strong></p>
<p>
Sofia Barclay, 23, is the granddaughter of David Barclay, media and real estate tycoon, estimated to be worth a combined $3.2 billion with her twin brother Frederick.</p>
<p>
This beautiful heiress splits her time between London and New York City and attended Westminster School in London.</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/style/features/2009/06/next-gen-portfolio200906#slide=13">Sofia has said that she has always wanted to be an actress</a> and has attempted to pursue her career in New York City. Considering her beauty and familial wealth, she should not have much of a problem.</p>

<strong>Richard Branson, #255 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/richard-branson/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $4.2 billion</strong></p>
<p>
The son of Virgin mogul Richard Branson could very well pose as a double for his father, but he does far more than hide in Sir Richard's shadow.</p>
<p>
Sam, 26, who graduated from St. Edwards in Oxford, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1342209/Sir-Richard-Bransons-son-Sam-determined-carve-career.html">has expressed an interest in becoming a documentary filmmaker</a> and has mostly shied away from the public. However, the young heir is a known friend of Prince Harry.</p>
<p>
A few years ago, Sam spent three months trekking across the Arctic and recently set up his own production company.</p>
<p>
It is no surprise that the Virgin heir is frequently listed as <a href="http://www.sugarslam.com/company-magazine-chooses-uks-most-eligible-bachelor/">one of Britain's most eligible bachelors.</a></p>

<strong>Mukesh Ambani, #19 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/mukesh-ambani/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $22.3 billion</strong></p>
<p>
The 20-year-old is currently a Sophomore at Yale and the only daughter of Mukesh Ambani, an oil tycoon and India's richest man.</p>
<p>
At 16, <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2008/08/29/billionaires-mittal-ambani-biz-billies-cz_dp_0829billieheiresses_slide_3.html?thisSpeed=undefined">Forbes put Isha at number 2 on their list</a> of heiresses, noting that by then she already had an $80 million share in her father's company, Reliance Industries.</p>
<p>
Isha has now grown out of the braces and glasses of her teens and is not only an accomplished pianist, but a student leader in New Haven.</p>

<strong>Amancio Ortega, #5 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/amancio-ortega/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $37.5 billion</strong></p>
<p>
This Spanish beauty is the daughter of Amancio Ortega, the founder of the global fashion firm Inditex, who <em>Forbes</em> says is the fifth richest man in the world.</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.forbes.com/2007/11/15/billionaires-mittal-hariri-biz-cx_1115heiresses_slide_4.html?thisSpeed=undefined">Rumors</a> have it that Marta, 28, is being groomed by her father to one day take over the international fashion company that owns the Zara retail chain.</p>
<p>
However, Marta has been given no easy path and started at the bottom where she stocked shelves and dealt with customers. This may be hard work, but considering her father is worth $37.5 billion, it's probably worth it.</p>
<p>
Marta is also an avid equestrian and recently married Spanish equestrian star <span>Sergio Alvarez Moya.</span></p>

<strong>Michael Bloomberg, #20 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/michael-bloomberg/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $22 billion</strong></p>
<p>
Georgina is the daughter of Michael Bloomberg, who is not only New York City's mayor but the 20th richest person in the world. Georgina, the "rebellious" Bloomberg, has shunned the political and business world of her family to become a professional equestrian.</p>
<p>
Over the last few years, Georgina has written two novels for young adults centered around competitive horse racing <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/01/nyregion/book-by-georgina-bloomberg-is-fiction-with-tell-all-references.html?pagewanted=all">with characters that appear to be based on both her and Mayor Mike</a>. </p>
<p>
Beyond being an avid Knicks fan and a member of a number of charity organizations, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/11/fashion/a-week-in-the-wardrobe-of-georgina-bloomberg-equestrian-and-mayors-daughter.html?_r=3&ref=fashion">Georgina is dating baseball player Justin Dalles</a>.</p>

<strong>Larry Ellison, #6 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/larry-ellison/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $36 billion</strong></p>
<p>
David Ellison, 29, is the movie star son of Larry Ellison, the co-founder and CEO of Oracle Corporation. </p>
<p>
With the financial backing of his father, David has attempted to become highly involved in Hollywood as both a producer and actor, and starred <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/how-david-ellison-son-larry-162549">in the 2006 flop </a><em><a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/how-david-ellison-son-larry-162549">Flyboys</a>.</em></p>
<p>
However, David has recently garnered significant attention for his production company Skydance, which has backed such hits as <em>True Grit </em>and <em>Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol</em>.</p>
<p>
Assumed heir of a family fortune currently estimated at $36 billion, David is also an accomplished aerobatic pilot. </p>

<strong>Vasily Anisimov, #330 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/vasily-anisimov/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $3.4 billion</strong></p>
<p>
Once deemed the <a href="http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/features/9873/">"Russian Paris Hilton" by <em>New York</em> magazine,</a> this 26-year-old is an heiress to her father's quickly increasing metals fortune.</p>
<p>
A graduate of New York University, Anna is well known on New York's social scene. But now she hopes to pursue an acting career in Hollywood, and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/anna-anissimova-selling-time-warner-center-apartment-for-50-million-2012-4?utm_source=alerts&nr_email_referer=1">recently listed her Manhattan apartment for $50 million</a>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/anna-anissimova-selling-time-warner-center-apartment-for-50-million-2012-4?utm_source=alerts&nr_email_referer=1">five times what she paid for it in 2004</a>.</p>
<p>
After getting married to film producer Peter Schafer in 2010, Anna's interest in acting grew and she has had a few small film roles.</p>

Vanisha, 31, is the daughter of the world's foremost steel magnate, Lakshmi Mittal.</p>
<p>
A graduate of Cornell university, Vanisha has been highly involved with securing real estate investments across the globe and taking key roles in her father's business.</p>
<p>
Nonetheless,the Indian heiress definitely benefits from having one of the richest fathers in the world. For her 2004 marriage to investment banker Amit Bhatia, <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/Vanisha+Mittal/articles/-1IRYH0MJjV/Vanisha+Mittal+Pics+and+Bio">her father threw her a $60 million wedding</a>, considered one of the most lavish in recent history. </p>

<strong>Bernard Arnault, #4 on the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/bernard-arnault/">Forbes</a> list, is worth $41 billion</strong></p>
<p>
As Head of Communications for Louis Vuitton, Antoine Arnault is seemingly being groomed to follow in the steps of his father Bernard, CEO of the massive luxury company LVMH.</p>
<p>
At 34, the Frenchman is on the older side of our list, but age does not seem to be an issue for Natalia Vodianova, Antoine's Russian model girlfriend.</p>
<p>
Beyond frequently being <a href="http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/article/TMG9030064/Fashion-boss-Antoine-Arnault-signals-the-end-of-bling.html">known as a "boss" of the fashion world</a>, Antoine enjoys a life of luxury on yacht rides <a href="http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1852852_1852851_1852790,00.html">along the coast of Corsica </a>and is ranked as a professional poker player. With the net worth of his father at an estimated $41 billion, he can probably afford the vacation time.</p>

<p>
The 28-year old is the heiress to the multi-billion dollar Hearst Corporation and graduated from Boston College with a major in art history. Although her parents may not be on the billionaire list, Amanda has <a href="http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/#p_1_s_a0_All%20industries_All%20countries_All%20states_hearst">five different Hearst family relatives ranked amongst the world's richest</a>.</p>
<p>
Amanda's great-grandfather is frequently cited as the creator of modern tabloid journalism, but Amanda tends to stay out of the spotlight herself. However, about a decade ago Harper's Bazaar published an article claiming the heiress spends $136,000 on herself annually, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/05/fashion/amanda-hearst-works-at-marie-claire-and-also-fights-unhealthy-puppy-mills.html">a figure she vehemently denies</a>.</p>

Beyond the wealth, Amanda has modeled for Tommy Hilfiger and is the founder of <a href="http://www.humanesociety.org/about/events/friendsoffinn/about_friends_of_finn.html">Friends of Finn</a>, an organization dedicated to the closing of puppy mills.</p>

<p>
Beyond just being rich and beautiful, Anastasia was a world champion in aquabiking, which is essentially competitive jet skiing.</p>

The heiress is also a very good skier, in part thanks to the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-491558/Meet-spoilt-bratskis--daughters-Russias-super-rich.html">indoor slope her father built for her at his home in Moscow</a>. </p>

Emma Lasry, 19, is the daughter of Marc Lasry, manager of hedge fund Avenue Capital Group.</p>
<p>
As <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-offspring-make-the-best-music-videos-2010-8">we reported back in 2010</a>, Emma is an aspiring singer and made headlines when she released her first music video, "Closet Bitch" on YouTube. The video became an internet sensation, but not for the best reasons; online commenters took it as a prime example of another spoiled Wall Street heiress taking advantage of her father's deep pockets (it didn't help that Khloe Kardashian was paid to be in the video).</p>
<p>
Now the video is down, but Emma seems to have continued working towards her dream of becoming a star by occasionally posting videos of her singing online. Watch her sing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAZi8_TLcRo" target="_blank">Adele's Set Fire To The Rain here</a>.</p>

As we've <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/paul-tudor-jones-daughter-caroline-jones-2011-12">reported before</a>, Caroline Jones, daughter of BVI Global Fund manager Paul Tudor Jones II is not only beautiful, she is a surprisingly talented singer/songwriter as well.</p>
<p>
Caroline, 21, is not yet a household name but the folk artist has been working quite hard to change that as of late, performing at numerous high schools and universities as part of her "All Aboard" tour. </p>
<p>
Coming from such a luxurious background seems to have its perks as Caroline has recorded with former Sony Music Entertainment head Tommy Mottola and <a href="http://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Greenwich-Town-Party-includes-acts-with-local-ties-3578288.php">played alongside Paul Simon and Dave Matthews</a> last month in her hometown of Greenwich, Connecticut.</p>

Beyond all the touring and recording, the starlet hopeful is currently studying creative writing at New York University.</p>
