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.
