What’s the first thing you’d do if you had 1 billion dollars on your bank account right now? What’s the first thing you’d buy? Would you quit your job? Would you invest or just live out your fortune?
These are the kind of questions these young girls have to deal with on a daily basis. I know, that’s the best kind of problem you could ever ask for, but hey, everybody has to play the cards he’s dealt, am I right?

Net worth: $4.5 Billion
Elizabeth Holmes was at the center of another college dropout success story. She quit Stanford at 19 to found Theranos, a company that promised its clients and investors that could run blood tests with just a single drop of blood.

Net worth: $5 Billion
Athina Onassis is the only surviving descendant of Greek magnate Aristotle Onassis, so you know she’s loaded. The Onassis made a fortune out of the shipping industry, but her mother Christina Onassis also married the heir of a pharmaceutical empire.

Net worth: $8.7 Billion
You may have heard about the Hearst Corporation but in case you haven’t let us give you a bit of context. They own Cosmopolitan, Esquire, half of the A&E Networks, and 20% of ESPN. So yes, they’re huge, and Amanda Hearst is the heiress of that empire.
