In modern times, the term “rich girls” has earned a bad reputation. A lot of people think they are just spoiled brats who can buy anything and anyone they want with daddy’s money, throw wild parties and crash—or even thrash—the parties of others for no apparent reason and look for and even cause drama and trouble for entertainment just because they can. It’s almost like since money can buy them anything they want, they get their kicks from something they can’t get from any store.
However, the women on this list beg to differ. They’re proof that not every lady with millions in the bank got it from their papa and act like Taylor Swift in the “Blank Space” music video. These fine members of the fairer gender show that there is a place for affluent women in a rich man’s world, and it’s not on beside another man. Because what men can do, women definitely can too, and they can earn just as much for it—if not more. They’re also out to show that the rich girl stereotype couldn’t be farther from the truth, as they carry themselves with dignity, class and style. You know, things money can’t buy.

HOLLY BRANSON

You’ve probably seen posts of Richard Branson on Facebook. He’s the cool-looking billionaire who sports a long hair and a full moustache, owns Virgin Records and Virgin Airlines and has a few things to say about certain issues. He also has a daughter, Holly Branson. But unlike her dad, Holly Branson wanted to be a doctor first. She got her degree from University College London, and had her first job at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Eventually, however, she gave that up so she could work for her father’s $3.6 billion enterprise. Richard, while proud that Holly managed to make it to medical school, was definitely glad that she wanted to be a part of the family business, and that some day she’d be ready to run it like he has.

PERENNA KEI

At 24, young adults are usually in a rank-and-file position, or promoted to a position that is only one rank higher, a lot more stressful and only pays a few bucks higher. And sometimes, they’re in-between jobs, or worse, have yet to find work ever. Perenna Kei, on the other hand, was the youngest billionaire with a net worth of $1.3 billion in 2017. Just like Yang Huiyan, her company, Logan Property Holdings, is in the property development industry, which, like what’s been said before, is big in China right now. Other than owning 85% of one of China’s biggest property developers, she’s also an attractive lady with mesmerizing eyes and long, flowing locks. Beauty, brains, riches and youth all in one person—so not fair.

The women on this list either followed in their parents’ footsteps, or went to another field but got their folks’ support nevertheless. Except for Josie Ho. The daughter of Stanley Ho, a casino mogul in Macau, beautiful and talented Josie Ho became a singer despite her affluent father’s objection, thanks to her eldest sister being supportive of her. Aside from her singing career, she’s also an actress who has appeared in many Hong Kong movies ever since 1994. In many of these films, she played the role of a poor lady of the night—a far cry from her lifestyle as a billionaire’s daughter. She’s also seen some success in Hollywood, as she’s been in movies like Open Grave and Contagion. With such a successful career, her father probably approves of her decision now.

A former model, Anna Anissimova is also known as the “Russian-American Paris Hilton”. Now, regardless of what you think of the hotel giant heiress, especially her behavior, she’s definitely beautiful, glamorous and classy. And so is Anna Anissimova. She’s got those deep blue eyes, as well as that long and flowing bright brunette hair, making her quite the sight to behold. No wonder she was once a model. But what’s more impressive about her is her talent for making good deals—something she took after her Russian mogul dad Vasily Anisimov. Back in 2005, she became famous for buying Diane von Furstenberg’s $23 million Manhattan HQ. Other than being an ex-model and businesswoman, she’s also appeared in some Hollywood movies, and is the titular lead in Elizabeth Blue.

Life is sweet when you’re the daughter of one of the richest people the world. That is very much true for Dylan Lauren, daughter of American fashion designer Ralph Lauren. The youngest child and the only daughter, Dylan Lauren, whose current net worth is $50 million, got her Art History degree from Duke University in 1996. But she didn’t get into the arts. Or at least the fine arts, as she got into a different kind of art: candies. This is because her candy store, Dylan’s Candy Bar, is the “largest unique candy store in the world” according to her. Inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, she makes sure that every piece of candy she sells is a masterpiece.

As the Bible says, the last would be the first, so we put First Daughter Ivanka Trump here for our finale. And she’s definitely not the least, as her net worth is somewhere in between $200 million and $700 million—nothing less from the beloved daughter of Donald Trump, business mogul, former TV personality and now President of the United States. Just like Donald Trump, Ivanka is also quite the entrepreneur, as she owns a line of fashion items and jewelry. And aside from taking after her billionaire father in the business department, Ivanka also did modeling gigs for Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, Marc Bouwer and Thierry Mugler. Lastly, she’s a philanthropist who donated to the National Urban League and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
