Nicole Richie
This reality star was adopted and raised by Lionel Richie when she was just nine years old. So even though she wasn’t born into wealth, she still grew up in an affluent family before making herself known through reality television. In fact, shortly after her adoption was complete, Lionel’s affair with another woman surfaced through the media. Lionel and his wife Brenda went through a nasty split that was the center of tabloids. As a result, they spoiled Nicole as a way to keep her happy. She stated in an interview with Vanity Fair Magazine that as a young child she got everything she wanted and a little girl shouldn’t have been allowed to have that much freedom.
