They share famous names and stand in line to inherit enormous wealth.

The term is usually used to describe Hollywood stars who have coasted on the coat tails of their parents' fame - with Jaden Smith, Zoe Kravitz and Maya Hawke often making the list.
However, Australia is also filled with young and upcoming stars who are believed to have got where they are because of their famous parents.
There has been no shortage of Aussie children born into privilege where their names alone guarantee them a place on the A-list.
