The Richest, hottest U-30s in the world

I was motivated to do this article after reading an article on Forbes Online a few months ago, but never got around to doing it until now. Due to the diverse number of the rich and the famous under 30, I find it an immensely hard job to complete. I've tried to get the richest and most famous U-30s in the world, and hopefully, they will be pleasing to you. In no particular order:

1 & 2: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
Happiness- apparently comes in pairs. It is the case with these two. Only recently eighteen, they are the dreams of almost every teenage boy. The Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen franchise is big too, in fields as diverse as toothpaste and TV programs. It is allegedly worth US$1 billion. The girls have also had the time to indulge in making and producing movies; New York Minute comes out this summer and should be one of the larger teenage box office hits.They are also historys youngest producers (aged 6). About to study at New York University, as long as they preserve the cuteness that endured them to pre-teen girls and teenage boys, of course, they should be still around the scene for some time yet. Recent reports indicate they might be worth as much as US$120million a piece, and 2004 looks to have revenues for the franchise set at US$1.2 billion.

3. David Robert Joseph Beckham

What does this man have, that the rest don't? Football (soccer to you Americans) icon, Gay icon, Black Icon, the stuff of womens dreams, the man that popularized the word "metrosexual." Oh and did I fail to mention multi-millionaire? Hes paid about 120, 000 euros a week to play for Real Madrid, Europes most glamorous sports club, and broke millions of hearts (including mine), when he made the 25 million pound move from Englands Manchester United to Spain. Englands most famous footballing son, he is also married to Posh Spice (aka Victoria Adams), and the happy father of two. Despite the reports regarding his alleged infidelity, the Beckham brand remains intact. Gillette recently paid him 40 million pounds to endorse its razors. He is 29 years old this year, and worth approximately 60 million pounds. Beckham stars for England at Euro 2004, and in Portugal this summer. He appears also in this month's issue of Vanity Fair.

4. Paris Hilton

Some people have to work hard to earn their millions and others have their millions delivered to them. Paris Hilton is of the second category. She is heiress to a multi-million dollar fortune, porn model, D-list actress, and the beau of Nick Carter. A Simple Life only future enhanced the dissatisfaction that America has against this party girl who thinks Wal-Mart sells wallpaper.

Talk about a whiner too. Well, I suppose you can whine when you havent reached your twenty-fifth birthday and are worth US$25million when you have to work in McDonalds. Her sister, Nicki is more attractive then she is. A Simple Life 2 is on your screen.

5. Britney

Pop star Britney
She had the world at her feet after a series of No.1 hits on the pop-chart, including "Oops I did it again" and "Hit me baby, one more time". Despite the fact that she has no voice, the tabloids love her. Her break-up with NSyncs Justin Timberlake made headlines across the globe. Oh, and not to mention her twenty-four hour wedding, to a man she cant make up her mind about. Oh, she twisted her knee or something during her world tour that had to make the headlines too.

At least, shes more attractive than Paris Hilton. Her sister, Jamie Lynn is doing pretty well too, a recording contract in the works. Britneys wealth is hard to pin down, but a guess of around US$15-20million, would not be too far of the mark for that of the former Mousketeer. She appears set to marry yet again. For 60 hours this time? In the Zone is in stores now.

6. Sam Branson

Probably the unknown here, yet the richest. Son of Britains fifth-richest man, Richard. This clothing model came to fame using his family name. Last years Fortune claimed that he unsucessfully lobbied his parents to allow him to quit school to open a nightclub. It runs in the blood; Branson; sr owns Heaven, a British nightclub that according to a book, Branson by Tom Boyer, is a favorite for gays. His father might have deserved his wealth, but does he? He is more decent than Paris Hilton, I suppose. Sam is aged 18, and when his old man dies, will come into a fortune of more than one billion (yes billion) pounds. Very little is known about him.

7. Orlando Bloom

He was voted the sexiest actor in the world by a recent poll in the UK. This heart-throb has teenage girls chasing him everywhere. Hes dyslexic, yet pulled off a decent job in Lord of The Rings, Troy, and Pirates of the Carribean when he starred alongside Viggo Mortensen, Brad Pitt, and Johnny Depp. Hes IT-illiterate yet his pretty face has led him to Win A Dates Kate Bosworth as his current girlfriend. Hes currently working on Kingdom of Heaven, due in 2005. The fact that hes broken his fingers and legs more than once has only served to endear him to his friends. He is only in his twenties, and his wealth is not open to the public, yet a respectable estimate, would put it around US$ 3-6 million.

8. Hilary Duff

A tween queen if there ever was one. Lizzie McGuire on the Disney Channel propelled her to fame, about 2-3 years ago, and she has not looked back. The movie was a favorite for pre-teens, and she loaned her weight to Agent Cody Banks. Recent reports say that Lizzie McGuire could be scrapped after a pay-row with Disneys executives, a move she has denied. Sister to producer, Haylie, Duff lives in California. Her album, released October 03, was at one time, No.1 in America. So Yesterday was a beacon for bubble-gum pop. Duff is 17 years old, and Forbes approximated her worth at US$6 million last year. A Cinderella Story is out soon.

9. Hollywood's IT Girl-Scarlett J

Scarlett is 19, Hollywoods latest IT girl and likes elder men. The nubile young actress is almost an exact replica of Marilyn Monroe. Although she has been acting for several years, it was Lost in Translation (2004) that got her noticed. She won a BAFTA for that award, becoming one of the youngest actresses to receive it. She followed it up with an entrancing performance in Girl With A Pearl Earring, which was labeled an art movie master-piece. The whole of Britain seems to be smitten over this porcelain-faced girl, who likes to dress in green dresses that show her flabs (Oscar Awards). Her wealth is not exactly public domain, but I would approximate it at around US$3-4 million. More will be coming in.

10. Christiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiros

Sorry to bore the Americans, and infuriate the girls by not featuring Justin Timberlake or Aaron Carter, but Christiano Ronaldo is the best soccer prodigy in Europe since Paul Gascogine. Signed for Englands Manchester United for 12.2 million pounds last summer (a British teenage record) and took the Theatre of Dreams by storm with a stunning debut. His lightning pace has delighted the men, while his locks have delighted the girls. Ronaldo (of no relation of Brazils fatty, Ronaldo) is dating the Brazilian-Portugese model that is striker Mario Jardels sister. He is paid 35, 000 pounds a week, and is only 18. He is probably worth around US$1.75million after taxes and stars opposite Beckham in Euro 2004 for Portugal.

Kristiano Ang, is the executive editor of the youth support magazine, Vainquer Teens, which is launching soon. He writes on positive thinking, popular culture, and world affairs. He can be contacted via this website.
