KINGSTON, ZUMA & APOLLO ROSSDALE
Parents: Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale
Net Worth: R3.1-Billion
THEIR parents have made a tremendous
mark on the global music scene, and
with that comes a whole lot of perks. For
Kingston’s fourth birthday, for example,
Gwen Stefani and her now ex-hubby Gavin
Rossdale spent close to R330 000 on an
extravagant cake, a fairy floss machine, a lemonade stand,a
jumping castle, face painting, a balloon artist and superhero
mascots. No doubt that bash was thetalkofthetown.
MAX & EMME MUNIZ
Parents: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony
Net Worth: R11.3-Billion
MAX and Emme Muniz have been living their
best lives since they were born. Hell, they’ve
been living everyone’s best life. Not only do
they get to tour the world with their superstar
parents but the 11-year-old twins have never
known anything other than a life of luxury,
whether at home or abroad. When they were
babies, Max and Emme had 600-thread-
count Egyptian cotton linen in their cribs,
played with diamond rattles, were each
given a Shetland pony and once got
R45 000 worth of Chanel accessories during
a shopping spree in Paris!

THANKS
to their parents,
these youngsters were
born with several silver
spoons in their mouths.

EING a child of a celebrity has
a whole lot of perks! Not only
do you have access to their
massive properties, bag loads
of money and connections, but you get to
enjoy that with limited media attention
- until you’re ready to break out as a star
on your own, that is...
THEBECKHAM CLAN
Parents: David & Victoria Beckham
Net Worth: R15-Billion
THE world has been taken with the
Beckham clan ever since Victoria and
David welcomed son Brooklyn back in
1999 – and the fascination only intensified
with the addition of three more: Romeo,
Cruz and Harper. They’re almost seen as
Britain’s second royal family and they’ve
certainly got the lifestyle to support that
impression. For Brooklyn’s sixth birthday
David and Victoria spent close to
R4.5-million on a 480cm-tall brick
playhouse and toy castle! Brooklyn is also
the owner of a R1.1-million fibre-optic
ceiling in his bedroom that simulates a
starry night and shared a R1.1-million
treehouse and a R4.2-million playhouse
with his brothers Romeo and Cruz.
Meanwhile, eight-year-old Harper enjoys
expensive pony club lessons and has a
designer wardrobe we can only dream of!
Yup – they don’t call it Beckingham Palace
for nothing, folks.

ZACHARY & ELIJAH FURNISH
Parents: Elton John & David Furnish
Net Worth: R11.8-Billion
ELTON JOHN has never lived life any other way
than at full throttle – great news for his kids with
husband David Furnish, right? But just how great?
Well, in 2011 the couple reportedly spent close to
R45-million on turning an entire apartment adjoining
their LA home into Zachary’s nursery. And it doesn’t
stop there. Elton and David also once bought so many
birthday presents for one of the boys that they shipped
the unopened gifts to an orphanage in Ukraine! “The
sitting room was full, floor to ceiling, with presents,”
Elton says. We’d probably die at the sight of the
wrapping paper costs alone (and we don’t even want to
think about what Christmas must look like!).
