Famous stars who were wealthy before they were discovered! From celebrities that came from a family in showbiz to the idols born into nobility. #14 Robin Thicke
Long before his Blurred Lines fame, this R&B singer enjoyed a fortuitous upbringing thanks to his superstar parents. Raised by Growing Pains actor Alan Thicke and Days of our Lives actress Gloria Loring, Robin was raised around the industry in Los Angeles. It's no wonder he’s found success with a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Robin Thicke was made to entertain!
#13 Paul Giamatti
Not all celebrities with a well-off upbringing came from an entertainment bloodline. Paul Giamatti, for example, came from a scholastic family. His mother, Toni, was an English Teacher at the private, college-preparatory Hopkins School, while his father Angelo was a professor at the prestigious Yale University. But Angelo Giamatti wouldn’t stop there as his ambition earned him the positions of president of Yale and, later, commissioner of Major League Baseball! This success allowed for Paul Giamatti to attend private schools in his youth before earning a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in Drama from Yale. From there, he catapulted into theatre productions, making his way to Broadway and, eventually, Hollywood.
#12 Zooey Deschanel
Cute, bubbly and quirky, Zooey Deschanel has won over audiences worldwide, thanks in part to her leading role in the Fox comedy New Girl. The daughter of Award-winning cinematographer Caleb and actress Mary Jo, Zooey would be born in Tinseltown, but spent much of her childhood on the road as her father would shoot on location. Her parents put her through the private school Crossroads where she would meet fellow future actors and co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Kate Hudson. Thanks to a proclivity for musical theatre and being raised around the industry, she would eventually drop out of Northwestern University to pursue a career on screen.
