Many celebrities have relatable rags-to-riches stories, but others were born into the good life. Some of these stars have had wealth in their bloodline for generations, while others were raised by seriously successful parents. In this article, we take a look at celebrities who have rich parents.

1. Dumisani Gargoyle

Mandisa Sakhele Dube, also known as Dumisani Gargoyle, has carved out a name for herself without using any impressive family links. The 27-year-old Durban native is currently the hottest DJ in the game. Many were shocked when they found out that Mandisa is actually Jeff Radebe’s daughter.

Jeff is a South African politician who once served as the Minister of Energy. Dumisani Gargoyle also traces her family ties with President Ramaphosa and the Motsepe family, as Jeffrey Radebe happens to be Cyril Ramaphosa and Patrice Motsepe’s brother-in-law. The president and Jeff Radebe married billionaire Patrice Motsepe’s sisters, Tebogo and Bridgette.

This makes businesswoman and mining magnate Bridgette Radebe her stepmother. Despite her family background, Dumisani Gargoyle has spent half of her life in Pretoria and has made a name for herself through hard work.

2. Maniza Mthethwa

Maniza Mthethwa, currently studying law, has been DJing for a year and a half. Recently, Maniza has had to shut down naysayers who turn a blind eye to her hard work and instead credit her politically connected family for her growing fame and success.

In an interview, she slammed all assumptions that she got some advantage because of her appearance. She said, “I started from the bottom, and what my family represents due to their occupation has had no impact on my career.

Instead, my parents only found out a year ago that I was taking DJing as a serious profession. I can thank my friends in the music industry for assisting me and providing an opportunity for me to participate and show off my talent. Devon Gaga says her hard work will always speak for her, and her legacy will be described as the jam-packed entertainer.”

3. Andy Lee

Andy Lee, also known as Andile, is living the life most teenagers wish for and dream of. The young, wild, and free lifestyle he leads is always seen blowing money on extensive things or cruising luxury cars around town.

Andile was thrust into the spotlight after he started featuring on his mother’s television show, “Uthando Nesthembu.” He is the biological son of Shawn Mkhize and the only child that came from Shawn and Mami’s marriage of 15 years.

Just like the majority of rich kids around the globe, Andy Lee gets to do whatever he desires, including making excessive and extravagant demands from his parents. His mother is the brains behind the Mkhize family’s success and a love for Andile knows no bounds.

The family is well known for its business activities in the construction industry and other key sectors through their company, The Quality Group. The financial level witnessed a massive boost in the early 2000s after their company was awarded a contract to build low-budget houses in the Itaquini municipality.

Shawn practically treats Andile like a king and spoils him with life’s choicest gifts. During his 16th birthday in the La Lucia home, his parents spoiled him and his young friends with a sushi bar, a Louis Vuitton-inspired cake, a fancy menu, as well as designer drinks.

Andile is one of the most talked-about rich kids due to his cushy lifestyle, which he flaunts on social media almost daily. Though he claims no personal ownership to most of the big guys he flaunts on social media as they are family-owned, he however owns two exotic cars. The rising star is a musician as well.

He has a record label called Ambisano’s Royal AM Entertainment. He released his debut album in May 2019, and his second single, “Flambe,” was released in 2020. He’s also the founder of the Royal AM Foundation, which was established with the help of his parents. The organization has created over 30 job opportunities around Durban and is set to do more.

4. Aly Ferguson

Aly Ferguson, also known as Alicia Angel Ferguson, is a celebrity child born to Connie Ferguson and the late Shona Ferguson. As the youngest, she has received an endless love from her parents.

Connie Ferguson is an outstanding South African actress, model, and businesswoman, mainly known for portraying the character of Karabo Moroka on “Generations” for almost two decades. Connie married late accident producer and director Shona Ferguson in 2001, and the pair welcomed Alicia in 2002.

The home Alicia lives in is a dream mansion with an exotic interior and a perfectly manicured lawn outside, estimated to be worth 22 million rand. Her mother, Connie, has a net worth of 8 million dollars. Alicia’s parents started Ferguson Films in 2010, and gradually it has become an entertainment hub, producing shows such as “The River,” “The Queen,” “Rockville,” and “Kings of Jo’burg.”

The company also offers several entertainment services. Due to their hard work, they have earned an expensive lifestyle of luxury houses and cars. After the passing of Shona, Alicia promised to carry on the legacy of her father and make him proud. In an emotional scene, she told mourners that she had a weird relationship with her father because they had the same characteristics.

Alicia’s parents have always gushed over her. In an Instagram post, Shona once opened up about how doctors told him and Connie that they would never have children, but God had other plans. Shona said he and Connie felt like they had survived all of life’s adversities when they were placed with a baby girl.

5. Tumi Mlambo

Tumi Mlambo, also known as Tumi Major, is a social media influencer and event manager. She is known for her relationship with one of the country’s greatest talents in the music industry, multi-award-winning rapper Cassper Nyovest.

Being born to wealthy parents and becoming a rich mother seems to be something that makes her feel very special. Her mother, Don Bimbela Majors, is a rich businesswoman established in event management and catering. On the other hand, nothing is known about her father; his identity and occupation have not been made public by either of the women.

Before dating Cassper, Tumi was linked to another South African rapper, Maggs, and South African football player Siphiwe Tshabalala. Her current relationship with Cassper seems to have been the loudest and attracted a lot of public attention, which led to a huge boost in the popularity of Tumi and Cassper.

They welcomed their son on September 13, 2020. Considering how successful a career as an influencer and event manager has been, Tumi is obviously rich. On Tumi, Cassper says he knew that she was different from all his other girls because she resisted him for the longest time.

He said, “I was a player at the time. I had a lot of girls around me. I am a sleeper, I have money, and I’m funny, so girls love that. I had to pursue her, and it took a long time for her to hear me out. She was not excited about my money. She’s from a good family and is probably richer than I am.”

6. Black Coffee’s Son

Esona is Black Coffee’s first son from his previous marriage. As we all know, Black Coffee is one of the richest musicians in Africa, with a net worth of $60 million, coming second after Akon when African musicians are ranked. Very little is known about 21-year-old Esona except that he tends to keep a low profile and away from social media.

When Black Coffee threw Esona a 21st birthday party, social media users were shocked by how alike Esona was to his father. They are legendary for their resemblance, from their height, weight, facial features, and skin tones; they could actually pass off as brothers.

Despite having his son when he was just 23 years old, Black Coffee previously said becoming a dad at a young age motivated him to chase his dreams. The DJ might be known as a GOAT in the music industry, but he is also a great father to his children. He has accomplished things that people only dream of and is known both internationally and locally.

7. Robbie Malinga Jr.

Robbie Malinga Jr. was born in May 2001 to late music producer Robert Malinga and Anne Malinga. The South African Instagram sensation is one of those celebrities whose social media presence has helped launch him into the limelight.

Robbie Jr., whose father was a famous composer and passed away in 2017, took over his father’s Instagram account. This particular move brought him to the limelight, and he became one of Instagram’s most famous people.

On his 18th birthday, his mother, Anne, got him a Mini Cooper, which she said had been a long plan between her late husband and herself for their son’s 18th birthday. Like many young and rich people today, Robbie dresses in various designer brands, which keeps his fans always gushing over him, leaving others feeling his shows off a little too much.

Career-wise, the aspiring rapper has made it clear that he is very interested in music but would give it his full attention after he is done with his education. At the moment, he’s not making so much of his own money, but with his already established faith, you can tell that when he is ready to stump the industry, it will be massive.
