Life is easy enough if your parents have millions upon millions of dollars — but it's even sweeter if you have dashing good looks, too.
That's the case with these 27 beautiful children of businessmen, fashion moguls, and rock stars.
And while some of these heirs have cashed in on their family names, many are striking out on their own, starting charities or taking over the family business.

Siddharth Mallya, son of Indian industrialist and parliament member Vijay Mallya
Vijay Mallya is the 73rd richest man in India, worth $800 million, according to Forbes
Siddharth, 26, is the director of the Indian Premier League team Royal Challengers Bangalore, and has been named by his father Vijay Mallya as the future head of the United Breweries Group.
In August, fake Facebook profile accounts pretending to be Siddharth posted that UB Group was starting a production company. His team approached Facebook to shut down all imposter accounts.

Amanda Hearst, great-granddaughter of media mogul William Randolph Hearst
Three of her relatives are worth a combined $2 billion or more, according to Forbes
The 29-year old is the heiress to the multi-billion dollar Hearst Corporation. She graduated from Fordham University with a major in art history.
Amanda's great-grandfather is frequently cited as the creator of modern tabloid journalism, but Amanda tends to stay out of the spotlight herself. About a decade ago, however, Harper's Bazaar published an article claiming the heiress spends $136,000 on herself annually, a figure she vehemently denied.
Beyond the wealth, Amanda has modeled, is a spokesperson for ethical fashion brand Maison de Mode, and is the founder of Friends of Finn, an organization dedicated to the closing of puppy mills. Currently, Amanda is the special projects manager at Town & Country Magazine.

Harry, 16, tweeted after his brother's Twitter scandal that he personally loved Obama. Harry is still in high school in New York City, and is often seen out and about with his older brother.
