Some people inherit lots of money from their relatives. Some people inherit good looks from their relatives. Then there are the lucky few that manage to inherit both lots of money and good looks. If they have also inherited a modicum of intelligence and some business acumen as well, they often do quite well for themselves, separate from their famously wealthy parents. Here is a quick list of some of the wealthiest and most attractive children of billionaires. While beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder, it's clear that having a secure fiscal portfolio also seems to give these men and women a certain glow. With a combined net worth of $189.7 Billion, these 10 people can pay to stay looking young and fabulous until the world stops turning.
