The Most Popular Celebrity Teen Is Worth a Staggering $250 Million, According to a New Study
As a teenager, I was happy if I had enough money to get gas and grab a burger with friends. (As an adult in Donald Trump's economy, not much has changed.) I couldn't imagine then or now what it would be like to have $1 million in my account, much less the $250 million one celebrity teen is worth. According to a new study, the most popular teenager of a celebrity has a staggering net worth of $250 million (!!) — and my eyes are practically bugging out of my head thinking about it. Popular kids clothing brand Posh Peanut recently conducted a study of over 30 celebrity children trending in news and online to determine who was the most popular in 2025. They looked at their estimated net worth, Google search volume, number of Instagram hashtags, and other measures. More from SheKnows Arnold Schwarzenegger Grills Son Patrick on Why He Thinks His Last Name Was an 'Obstacle' in Hollywood The teens in the top 10 list include Beyoncé & Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy Carter, 13; Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri Cruise, 19; Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids Shiloh Jolie, 18, and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 16; and Victoria Beckham and David Beckham's daughter Harper Beckham, 13. Out of those, the most popular in the list — based on 3.55 million social media mentions — is Shiloh Jolie! She has an estimated net worth of $250 million. Being 18 with that much money could be dangerous, but Shiloh seems to have a good head on her shoulders. The Maleficent star previously told Good Morning America that her daughter is 'extremely private.' In a panel at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in April, Jolie added that none of her six kids like 'the celebrity part' of acting. 'Especially Shiloh hates it,' she added. In Posh Peanut's survey, the next most popular celebrity teen is Blue Ivy Carter. The teen has 1.78 million social media mentions. However, her net worth is significantly higher than Shiloh's at an estimated $755 million! Vivienne Jolie-Pitt was estimated to be worth $86 million, Harper Beckham was $4.5 million, and Suri Cruise was $500k. The rest of the top 10 list included celebrity kids younger than teens, including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's kids North West, 11, and Chicago West, 7; Prince William and Kate Middleton's kids Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10; and Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's daughter Stormi Webster, 7. Out of the kids, North West was the most popular, beating out even Shiloh Jolie with 5.46 million social media mentions and an estimated net worth of $525 million. Her cousin Stormi had an estimated net worth of $319 million, and her sister Chicago had an estimated net worth of $525 million, the only siblings on the list with the exact same net worth. The royal siblings unsurprisingly had the highest net worth, with Prince George coming in at $3.8 billion and Princess Charlotte having an estimated $5 billion net worth. And we thought $250 million was a lot! Princess Charlotte was also just behind North West in social media mentions at $1.7 million. (Earlier this year, Princess Charlotte also lost out to North West in a study of the highest number of fashion-related Google searches, per Hello!) 'The extraordinary influence of celebrity children extends far beyond just entertainment value, creating new lifestyle inspirations that resonate deeply with today's digitally-connected families,' a spokesperson for Posh Peanut said in a statement. 'These young personalities are reshaping how children express themselves through fashion, play, and social interactions, offering a fascinating window into how fame and influence are evolving in our increasingly media-saturated world.' It's fascinating to see how much these celebrity teens and kids are worth!Best of SheKnows These '90s Girl Names Are All That and a Bag of Chips 26 Stunning, Unique Jewelry Brands & Pieces for Teens 19 Celebrity Parents With Trans & Nonbinary Kids

Kevin Costner Sued Over 'Unscripted' Rape Scene
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kevin Costner, Horizon Series Inc., and 10 "does," are being sued by a stunt woman accusing Costner of directing a "violent unscripted, unscheduled rape scene" during the filming of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2. The stunt woman, Devyn LaBella, has accused Costner, his company Horizon Series Inc., which finances his Horizon films, and other defendants of sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, hostile work environment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and five other complaints. Costner's lawyer, Marty Singer, has referred to the lawsuit as a "shakedown," according to Deadline. Newsweek reached out to Singer and LaBella's legal team via email for comment. The Context LaBella has said the impact of Costner's alleged actions has been "profound" and that she is left with "permanent trauma that she will be required to address for years to come." Her filing states that she is suing not only for herself but to "address the continued failures at the highest levels of Hollywood production companies to comprehend and address the impacts of performing in sexually explicit and violent 'scenes' and the need for intimacy coordination." This is the second lawsuit filed against Horizon Series Inc., as New Line Cinema is suing the company over breaches in their co-financing agreement. Kevin Costner attends the premiere of "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2" at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 7, 2025 Kevin Costner attends the premiere of "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2" at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 7, 2025 Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP What To Know In 2023, LaBella was working on Horizon 2 as the lead stunt double for actress Ella Hunt, who plays Juliette Chesney, a British schoolteacher searching for a new life in America. LaBella and Hunt are members of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), and LaBella's SAG agreement contains "specific contractual obligations relating to any nude and intimate scenes to be performed by Ms. LaBella," per the suit. Hunt's contract stipulates that she is entitled to have an intimacy coordinator present during filming of intimate scenes. This extends to LaBella, who is a third-party beneficiary of this stipulation as her stunt double. According to LaBella's suit, SAG-AFTRA contracts also prohibit the introduction of a last-minute intimacy scene, giving actors at least 48 hours to negotiate the scene. And, intimacy scenes must be performed on a closed set. LaBella's suit, which was filed in the LA County court of the Superior Court of California, states that she had performed one scripted rape scene for the film which was done in accordance with all SAG-AFTRA protocols, including a closed set and an intimacy coordinator. However, she then alleges that a second, unscripted rape scene, occurred on May 2 when she was on set to film for a non-intimate scene. According to LaBella's suit, "Ms. Hunt arrived for her shot as scheduled on May 2. The script only called for Juliette (Ms. Hunt) to mouth the word "No." However, when Ms. Hunt arrived, she learned that the Director, Defendant Costner, had requested that additional scenes be shot with a different male actor, Mr. Ivens, who had also been cast during pre-production in the Los Angeles area. "In these new scenes, Mr. Ivens was to climb on top of Ms. Hunt, violently raking up her skirt. Defendant Costner, who was present on the set, specifically added this scene, which varied from the scene filmed the day before which had not involved pulling up the actor's skirt. Moreover, this revised scene is not specified in the assigned call sheet for that day," the suit says. According to her court filings, LaBella was "completely unaware of these developments," and was caught entirely by surprise when her stand-in role suddenly turned into a simulated rape scene, with her being allegedly pinned down by a male actor performing the scene with her. She says she was not given the requisite 48 hours to sign off on the scene, the set was not closed, and there was no intimacy coordinator present. Her suit is against Costner as she has accused him of directing the action. Costner's attorney, Singer, told Deadline: "Our client Kevin Costner always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously. However, this claim by Devyn LaBella has absolutely no merit, and it is completely contradicted by her own actions – and the facts." Singer said that LaBella was made aware of the scene prior to filming, and that the night following the scene, she was in good spirits and did not bring any complaints to the stunt coordinator. Singer has accused LaBella of making similar claims against other sets. What People Are Saying Devyn LaBella's lawsuit alleges: "As a proximate result of Defendants' conduct, Ms. LaBella suffered and continues to suffer damages in terms of lost wages, lost bonuses, lost benefits, and other pecuniary loss according to proof. Ms. LaBella has also suffered and will continue to suffer physical and emotional injuries, including nervousness, humiliation, depression, anguish, embarrassment, fright, shock, pain, discomfort, fatigue, and anxiety. The amount of Plaintiff's damages will be ascertained at trial." Kevin Costner's lawyer, Marty Singer, told Deadline: "The facts are clear and we are beyond confident that Kevin will prevail." What Happens Next LaBella is suing for relief due to her alleged trauma and loss of wages from losing other work following the alleged incident, for a public apology, and for the defendants to submit to anti-sexual harassment and anti-sexual violence training provided by a reputable organization such as RAINN. She is also requesting a jury trial for all charges that can be brought before a jury. If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual violence, you can contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-4673, or contact the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) helpline via their

How to boss bold printed shirts from Gucci and Prada, just like Pedro Pascal and Timothée Chalamet – the latest smart casual look for men
Timothée Chalamet has a way of making a statement on the red carpet, and his appearance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this February was no exception. To receive the Arlington Artist of the Year Award for his roles in A Complete Unknown and Dune: Part Two, Chalamet arrived in a striking Prada cotton shirt pulled from the brand's archives. The bold lime green, yellow and white floral print caught the eye, while mother-of-pearl buttons and tapered cuffs added a touch of refinement, elevating the piece beyond classic beachwear. Timothée Chalamet wore a cotton shirt pulled from Prada's archives to receive the Arlington Artist of the Year Award, in February, for his roles in A Complete Unknown and Dune: Part Two. for Santa Barbara International Film Festival Advertisement Dressed by his go-to stylist Taylor McNeill, Chalamet layered the shirt over a grass green tank top, pairing it with loose denim jeans and white trainers, while debuting a youthful pixie haircut for extra edge. Chalamet's choice speaks to the rising appeal of bold, patterned, long-sleeved shirts, which are being reimagined as versatile wardrobe staples that work for casual and dressed-up occasions. 'The trend for bold, printed long-sleeved shirts has evolved significantly over recent seasons, becoming more diverse and expressive,' says Daniel Todd, buying director at online fashion emporium Mr Porter. 'Initially, these shirts featured vibrant, oversized patterns or graphic prints, but now they include more intricate designs, subtler palettes and luxury fabrics. This shift reflects a broader transformation in menswear, where fashion has become a powerful form of self-expression.' Also in February, Pedro Pascal donned a silk Bode shirt adorned with a patchwork of international flags on the press tour for Marvel's upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps. for Disney Pedro Pascal is another star embracing this modern take, bringing his signature confidence to the trend. While on the press tour for Marvel's upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the actor made a statement in a silk Bode shirt, adorned with a patchwork of international flags – a striking design that also conveyed a striking message in this time of global disunity. The fluid silk gave it a refined drape, while Pascal's styling kept things cool, pairing it with baggy plaid trousers, black leather loafers and clear-frame glasses. Founded by Emily Adams Bode in 2016, Bode has built a loyal following for its vintage-inspired designs, which celebrate American heritage and traditional craftsmanship. With its detailing and nostalgia-driven aesthetic, the brand has become a go-to for celebrities who appreciate menswear with character – Pascal among them. For those looking to tap into the trend, Bode offers a range of styles that channel the same energy as Pascal's flag-printed shirt, including a cotton-poplin patchwork style, decorated with a diagonal pattern of squares, inspired by 1930s quilting. Casablanca Tennis Club silk shirt. Photo: Handout Another brand that has mastered the art of statement shirting is Casablanca. Designed by Paris-born Charaf Tajer, Casablanca is known for its vivid palettes and Mediterranean-inspired prints. The brand frequently draws on the themes of tennis clubs, coastal landscapes and retro surf culture, creating pieces that transition from holiday wear to city dressing. Those looking to experiment with Casablanca's aesthetic can turn to designs like the Tennis Club silk shirt, which reinterprets the brand's signature motif with a surf-inspired twist, or the Psychedelic Nirvana shirt, also woven in silk and featuring pastel hues reminiscent of 1970s airbrushed surfboards.
