Lily-Rose Depp -

With the most recognizable last name of her father Johnny Depp and the pouty, high-cheekbones model face of her mother Vanessa Paradis, the young star caused quite a controversy when she dismissed the effect nepotism had on her modeling and acting career to Elle magazine, claiming, “I can definitely say that nothing is going to get you the part except for being right for the part.”

Jack Quaid -

Jack Quaid threw people off the scent with his first major role in the series ‘The Boys,’ since the nervous, quirky character was nothing like the roles of his father, Dennis Quaid. But when you consider that his mother is Meg Ryan, it all starts to make a little more sense.

Kid of known comedic stars Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, Maude played her mother's daughter on screen in three of her father's films before she supposedly made a name for herself in 'Euphoria.'

Zoë Kravitz -

It's hard to miss that Zoë Kravitz is a nepo baby because she's visually a perfect mix of her celebrity parents, actress Lisa Bonet and musician Lenny Kravitz. Her first visible role was in 2011's superhero prequel 'X-Men: First Class,' though her role as Catwoman to Robert Pattinson's Batman has far eclipsed that.

Kendall Jenner -

While much effort has been put into conveying the narrative that Kendall Jenner earned her place as a top model, being the child of Caitlyn Jenner, a former Olympian, and Kris Jenner, the famed momager behind the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' empire, pokes a hole or two in her theory. Her comments in the KUWTK reunion, hosted by Andy Cohen, when she insisted "I definitely worked my way to where I am now,” were not received well by other models.

Margaret Qualley -

The Canadian actor, writer, and producer began his career as a television host on MTV Canada before he embraced the fame of his father, legendary comic Eugene Levy, and made the iconic sitcom 'Schitt's Creek' with him.

Wyatt Russell -

While Kate Hudson is an obvious choice as a nepo baby of Goldie Hawn (and musician Bill Hudson), Wyatt is more fun to look at, as both a child of Hawn and Kurt Russell, because he didn't want to get into Hollywood at first. He initially tried to become an ice hockey player, and when that didn't work out it appears he turned to the strings he had left to pull.

Miley Cyrus -

Probably the most well-documented nepo baby on this list, Miley launched her singing and acting career as Hannah Montana alongside her father, famed country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Not to mention her godmother is the iconic Dolly Parton!
