Creating A Tier List of Nepotism Babies! 

I would love to see your TRUE thoughts on Ariana and Taylor. I'm sure you would be attacked by the swift army if they didn't agree. So I get leaving it alone. But they are interesting to me, when you look at the trajectory of their careers, it's kinda fascinating. But I'm a GIANT statistics and math nerd. So maybe that's part of my fascination. Anyway, ❤️ you both! And also hi Bailey!

lowkey I'm mostly okay with nepotism babies AS LONG as they are actually talented and **acknowledge** the nepotism ya know

Tbh I feel like there's a difference between nepotism and privilege. Ariana and Taylor were inherently wealthy and thus it was easier for them to begin their careers (and for Ariana's mom to buy all those records) but for nepotism I think is different. You get preferentially treatment and better opportunities because your parents are already famous/big in the industry. And I think it's important to recognize both, but they aren't the same.

Shoutout to the Nepo Baby who acknowledged her privilege and surpassed her family Ms. Jane Fonda, an icon and legend in her own right.

This comes out right after Lily Rose Depp said that nepotism babies have to work just as hard as other people to get into the industry 😂

Another thing about Miley Cyrus that I would say keeps her even more at the top is her aunt is Dolly Parton. Dolly has said herself it’s because of Miley that she thinks she has gained more fans throughout the years (especially the youth).

Also Elizabeth Olsen~ she didn’t jump into acting due to the fact her sisters were on Full House and she didn’t want it to seem as if she was riding off of their fame. Obviously her sisters, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, retired from acting pretty early on and now run a fashion empire. But Elizabeth had proven she can do Oscar worthy performances. She’s actually my favorite actress from the MCU

If theirs a part 2 :D Maya Hawke (daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke) Lily-Rose Depp (daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis) Carrie Fisher (daughter of Debbie Reynolds’s Billie Lourd (Carrie Fisher’s daughter) Lily Collins (Phil Collin’s daughter Jamie Lee Curtis Maude Apatow (Leslie Mann & Judd Apatow’s daughter) Laura Dern Elizabeth Olsen (younger sister of the Olsen twins) Ben Stiller Drew Barrymore Bryce Dallas Howard Nicolas Cage Dan Levy Elle Fanning Gwyneth Paltrow Prince, Paris & Bigi Jackson (Michael Jackson’s children) Liza Minelli (daughter of Judy Garland) Liv Tyler (Steven Tyler’s daughter, frontman of Aerosmith) Nicole Richie Paris Hilton Btw this is in no way the order for the tier list, just the list of names I happen to think off.

what opened my eyes and made me realize system of life is rigged... Is when Blue ivy Beyonce's daughter won a Grammy on a song that had a massive list of writers....

Beyonce is a nepotism baby. Her mom was a hair stylist and costume designer. Her dad was a music producer. Her grandparents were also fashion designers. She's talent beats opportunities, but she definitely had a head start.

Ideas for Part 2: -Anjelica Huston -Liza Minnelli -Jane Fonda -Carrie Fischer/Billie Lourd -Charlie Sheen/Emilio Estevez -Timothee Chalamet (his grandfather directed Sidney Poitier) -Sam Levinson (Euphoria creator) -Jack Quaid -Jennifer Aniston -Laura Dern -Rashida Jones -Nick Kroll (billionaire daddy) -JJ Abrams -Robert Downey Jr. -Kristen Stewart -Daniel Radcliffe -Jamie Lee Curtis -Elizabeth Olsen -Drew Barrymore -Maya Rudolph -Sofia Coppola

I'm pretty sure Taylor Swift's dad is a stockbroker, not a label executive. That's not to say that her parents didn't allow her many opportunities, like moving her family to Nashville so Taylor can pursue music. Just not sure it can be considered nepotism :)

I read the title and already knew I'd love this 😭

I’m glad that it’s as obvious to you guys as it is to all of us how Miley’s incredible talent unequivocally outshines the opportunity that she was blessed with at a young age.

i would love to hear your thoughts on the tiers as “did you listen/watch them because you knew who their parents were” vs “did you find out after you were a fan” vs even the first option + i would’ve liked it no matter how i found it

Lesser known one but Jessica Keenan Wynn (who was actually one of Ryan’s cast mates in Heathers) is from a long line of actors going all the way back to the silent film era.

I think Maya Hawke is an interesting one to talk about. I didn’t even know she was the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke until she mentioned her mom in an interview. Totally blew my mind. And she’s a pretty good actress (Robin from Stranger Things).

i love Emma Roberts. her performance in Scream 4 was one of her best. she genuinely did a great job in that film, as well as in Scream Queens. she's definitely not the best actress out there, but i would say she has the potential if she keeps acting to get up there. that's just my personal opinion though.

chet hanks was “the nerdy guy jade kisses in the bratz movie” and then 2020 happened and i went “wait that’s tom hanks’ son?”

I'd say Jonah Platt is talent meets opportunity, while Ben is beats. The comparison proves that, IMO. Jonah is talented but didn't rise up as much as Ben did, albeit having the same father. Ben is exceptional and that's why he rose up beyond his brother.

Can I just say I love and relate so much to the second-to-last tier being titled “Do You Even Want This?”. Growing up, my dad worked in the record industry and has won several songwriting awards. I’m SO glad I never pushed him to start a career in music, and also so grateful that neither of my parents tried to push me in that direction. Don’t get me wrong, I love music and songwriting, but it is just a passion/hobby for me. The songs I write are really just for me and maybe close friends and family. I don’t feel the need to share them with the world and, more importantly, I would NEVER want to be in that industry…it just seems way too stressful (I’m also a pretty bad singer anyways lol). However, my point is that, unfortunately, a lot of the people my dad worked with were always trying to push their kids into music careers. I babysat for one family once and I remember the son mentioning how he really wanted a certain XBox game for Christmas, but instead his parents bought him an expensive guitar and signed him up for lessons (something he didn’t even ask for or want). There’s just something so weird and odd about parents forcing their children into the spotlight just because they know they have “connections”.

As a professional wrestling fan, the ways different industries view nepotism is always fascinating to me. Coming from a wrestling family is a form of pride and typically embraced. While people fight to establish their own legacies within the industry, it’s generally exciting to see another family member debut. This compared to the way the film and music industries seemingly do everything in their power to hide their nepotism babies is a weird and stark contrast. Like why not just embrace that you have the resources to get you where you wanna go?

I absolutely DEMAND a part 2 to this

i’m okay with nepotism babies as long as they have actual talent !!

THE VIDEO WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE IT WAS MENTIONED IN THAT ONE VIDEO. THANK YOU. Now have a great day.

We need a part two, this was way too hilarious!

I think there's also a decided difference between having someone open the door for you vs someone bringing a battering ram and forcing your way in.

at what point is it an age thing when you don't know someone is a nepo baby over like a talent thing? and also different levels of nepotism, like your parent works in the industry vs your family is multi-generational Hollywood royalty? things i ponder sometimes (rarely)

Taylor's dad was a broker I'm pretty sure & he bought 3% of stocks in the label Taylor got signed on & was the first artist to be signed on to the new label. Marc Platt produced DEH film but isn't a producer for the musical.

You should do a video of whether the live action or animated movie is better! Love your channel, you deserve way more subs! ❤

my heart literally aches at how talented miley is. ts INSANE

I already wanna see a part 2!! I only recently realized that lily colins was phil colins daughter (no idea how i didnt notice).

I'm watching every video on this channel rn, I've been waiting all day for today's video to be posted, I love your channel!

Some of your videos have WILD concepts. And I love it.

Drew Barrymore is the poster child for nepotism babies. Her family “The Barrymores” have been famous in movies/Broadway since 1874.

now let’s talk about a TRUE double dipper who is currently making her rounds and getting her dues: Maya Hawke I THINK she is a great actress and she’s got so much potential to grow too! Would love to hear your thoughts!

Your videos always put me in such a good mood. I love how you two interact with each other, it's so refreshing and fun! 😄

Absolutely loved this video! Please do another one.

My fav RU-vidrs/performers right there ❤❤xx

Shout out to a great representation of talent beats opportunity. Maya hawk like she is HOT, an amazing actress, and a beautiful singer, just she is perfect.

I love Ryan’s necklace! Also sam is glowing!! You guys are the cutest

I honestly had no idea about Ben Platt because he is insanely talented. When I think of nepotism, I'm sorry but I'm a big hater of Miley Cyrus. She was just an average girl given an opportunity which grief her get past certain hurdles. I completely disagree. Just because she has been far more successful, that doesn't mean that that's where her talent was when she first got in the door and subsequently was surrounded by people writing catchy songs.

I honestly barely count Taylor as a nepotism baby. Unfamous, unkown parents, and literally became the music industry itself, thats self made baby. otherwise love this video!

Don’t be embarrassed, Sam. I was today-years-old when I found out the Roberts connection. And that is because of you. 😂

I think it’s sad on the talent we miss out on. We think a lot of these people are so talentsed which they do have some talent, but most would be nothing without a name. Becoming something without having those connections will always just be far more impressive

part 2, part 2, part 2!!! I love this kind of stuff!!!

"In this case Ivanka was double dipping too" WTF RYAN 💀💀💀

You need to talk about Lily Rose Depp if you do this again considering she has her own thoughts on this topic. Would also love to see Elizabeth Olsen on the list, I think she's opportunity meets talent but would love to hear your thoughts.

justice for emma roberts, she was amazing in scream queens

y’all missed maya hawke! like come on ethan hawke as your father and UMA THURMAN AS YOUR MOTHER?? i don’t know if i want to be her or be with her at this point. but i think she’s a good actress, that podcast show she did (or was on) was good, and her music is interesting with her own kind of touch and i think it’s like talent meets opportunity cuz i mean, uma thurman?

I love this video! I think you guys should do a part 2 with Gwyneth Paltrow, Maya Hawke and more ❤

i would love to hear your thoughts on the Maddie Ziegler(?) & Sia......thing? as an autistic person, i was originally super upset with Maddie for taking the role in Sia's film Music, but then hearing about the poor girl crying on set about how she felt she was making fun of us and wanted to stop and how Sia wouldn't let her, i felt horrible. i have FEELINGS about Sia.....

I think this is my favorite video they’ve made

I think that Emma Roberts isn’t as big as Julia Roberts or even like her because she doesn’t try to be. It took me forever to even realize they were even related. I love Emma so I’m being objective but I love her humor and acting style and I don’t think she’s comparable to Julia because they are in different realms. All of this is to say the fact that so many people don’t even realize they are related gives more credit to Emma’s name in my opinion.

Ryan forcibly beating his tough at toward the end of the video had me rolling 😂

That was beautiful 😂 the last one, she even just said she wants nothing to do with politics ever again 😂

We need multiple episodes of this

I would like a part 2! Or make this a series! There’s def a lot of nepotism babies, maybe venture into other countries too?

Chet Hanks is my favourite star of the hit movie Bratz

I'm gonna need like 20 parts to this

Was surprised not to see Hailee Steinfeld. Amazing actress and singer but also cousin to Emmy Award winning actress Tue O'Brien and niece to actor and fitness personality Jake Steinfeld.

I've seen some people saying Maya Hawke and she's a good one. Also Billie Lourd via Carrie Fisher via Debbie Reynolds

lol i haven’t even started and just the way the title is is hilarious😂😂

I LOVE THE OUTFITS!!

I'm just realizing ryan didn't say hi daddy 😭

I’d love to see a part 3 if you’re interested. People like Jane Fonda, Drew Barrymore, Janie Gyllenhaal and Maggie

MR. RYAN MCCARTAN, U R AN ICON I LOVE U

i think noah is so talented and i think her opportunities have possibly been shattered by being overshadowed by her sister who already reaped the rewards before she got the chance so i think she deserves opportunity meets talent but putting her next to ben feels wrong LOL

THE OUTFITS OML

The amount of raw talent I've seen go down the drain due to lack of opportunities and resources is insane.

Slight correction: Unless there is something I’m missing, Marc Platt did not produce the musical of DEH, just the movie.

Oh God I wish I was a nepotism baby, great vid :)

Don’t forget Hailey Beiber maternal grandpa is a famous Brazilian composer who made music with age am Sinatra. She is full nepo baby on both sides of her own family.

!!!!!We need a part 2!!!!!!!

For part 2: I haven't seen her name in the comments yet, but I'd suggest Stella McCartney 🤷🏻‍♀️ (I personally would put her in top tier, though)

Ohh do a part 2! With Gwyneth Paltrow, Brooklyn Beckham, Maya Hawke, and LIly-Rose Depp!

When you were talking abt the Kim K sex tape I was drinking water and with what Ryan said I spit it out and it came out of my nose. Thank you genuinely for the laughs made my entire day but it’s also 12:06 am

You put Jaden lower than Willow even though Jaden’s music is amazing & he does good for people like with his water thing & giving out food and not being in conflicts

I is also literally just found out Emma roberts was related to Julia roberts last night. I was watching a Ted Nivison video and he was talking about a really bad low budget Halloween movie with Eric Roberts (Emma Robert’s dad) in it and my mom told me that Eric Roberts was related to Julia Roberts in someway so I looked him up and also ended up finding out he was Emma Roberts father as well as Julia Roberts brother. He was in a lot of stuff in the 80s and has been in some SUPER low budget movie that seems like someone’s dad hired local kids from a community theater and there parents to act in it. To be fair though in the newest video by Ted about Christmas movies that he was also in some of those younger kids playing elves were honestly serving and seemed to be having the time of their life.

I agree with this so much. You gotta have talent in some way for me to like you as a nepotism baby. Many of the people I think of are suggestions on this list or the ones I see in the other comments. One I have not seen anywhere but has been popular recently bc of the video game The Quarry is Miles Robbins who is Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins son. I feel like he is a good one and I love the streams he has on twitch which I watch here on RU-vid when I find them.

Liza Minelli is an amazing actress and singer and so was her mother, Judy Garland.

I’m curious what you’d say about Maude Apatow and Iris Apatow

I loved this so much more than I should’ve 😂😂😂

ryan being absolutely flabberghasted abt Ivanka is fcking hillarious

Noah Cyrus over talent? Please…definitely not true. It’s okay if you don’t hear her current songs but she’s really talented and amazing lyricist. This year she sold out her US Tour for her new debut album “The Hardest Part” and next year she will do Europe and South America Tour. I suggest you guys to give her a try! ☺️

Love you guys sm!!!! Daddy’s fl.

My favorite nepo baby will always be Jamie Lee Curtis

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

love that i made the Ivanka trump jokes for Ryan

Idk if anyone has said this but..l daddy’s; yall look amazing 🫶🏼 the suit and hair (even though i saw it last video) , incredible 🤭 slay yall

Beanie Feldstein and Maya Hawke

You need to see Zoe and Lilly Rose quotes about making it and how their parents didn't help

Make a part 2!! With Lily Depp, Lily Collins… there are so many more!!

Miley Cyrus is incredibly talented, I'm glad to see her at the top of your list. Someone else has given an extensive list covering all the names I'd have had on my list so I'll give it a "like" and hope it ends up being seen.

6:53 I get where they are coming from but July and lonely are some of the best songs in the world

All of Meryl Streep's children.

If you guys do a part two please do Mya hawke!

I caught that sign language B there Ryan. How much can you showcase?

I just stumbled across this video and a couple of minutes in I had to go look up the name of that kid from Sweet Magnolias because I thought Ryan was that guy!

I remember being 11 in Argentina watching Dear Evan Hansen (the musical) when Evan tells his mom that he broke his arm while trying to commit suicide and his mom started singing and I cried so fucking hard
