Nepo Babies Who Became More Famous Than Their Parents: Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus and More

Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus and more stars were born as nepo babies, but they ultimately surpassed their celebrity parents with their fame and success.

Wrecking Ball songbird Miley has shown off her powerful pipes in a string of pop hits, sold over 55 million singles and won the 2024 Record of the Year Grammy for her breakup anthem “Flowers.” But she got her big break by starring with her real-life dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, on TV’s Hannah Montana. When he was just 5 years old, Lenny told Roxie and his dad, TV news producer Sy Kravitz, he wanted to be a musician, and he credits his folks for nurturing his talent, helping him secure a spot in the acclaimed California Boys Choir when he was 10. Colleen Carroll, her maiden name, was a rising country star signed to a big-time label deal with Capitol Records, releasing the singles “No Tellin’” and “Blue Bonnet Waltz” in the 1950s and performing alongside the likes of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline.
