Life in Hollywood is hectic and demanding, but it comes with a nice pay check as many young stars learned early. From making music to starring in the biggest shows and movies, child and teenage stars are rolling in the cash long before they even turn 25, and the amount they make is truly impressive! Check out these celebrities who are insanely rich and haven’t even turned 25 (all net worths sourced according to Celebrity Net Worth):
21. Lily-Rose Depp
Estimated Net Worth: $1 Million. Lily-Rose Depp might be the daughter of iconic actor Johnny Depp and model Vanessa Paradis, but she certainly doesn’t need any of her parents’ money to live her best life. After staying out of the spotlight for quite some time, Lily-Rose emerged in 2014 when she starred in the Kevin Smith Tusk. Since then she has had other small acting roles but has focused more on modeling which has earned her an estimated net worth of $1 million.
