There are countless examples in Hollywood of celebrity children following in their famous parents’ footsteps. Sometimes, the younger stars gain even more fame than their parents and ultimately rake in more money.

INSIDER examined the estimated net worths of famous parents and their children in the movie, TV, and music industries. Although net worths are always an estimate and never an exact amount, we were able to learn who is likely making more.

From the Cyrus family to the Kardashian clan, these are the celebs who are likely making more than their already famous parents.

The actress and musician Miley Cyrus has raked in more money during her short career than her country singer father, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Billy Ray Cyrus started his singing career in 1992 with his hit single "Achy Breaky Heart." His album "Some Gave All" held the No. 1 country-music spot for 17 weeks and sold 9 million albums. Recently, he appeared on the popular single "Old Country Road" with Lil Nas X. The country singer also appeared alongside his daughter on the hit Disney Channel show "Hannah Montana." Throughout his decades-long career, Cyrus earned an estimated net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth and The Richest.

Meanwhile, his daughter Miley Cyrus has outpaced him, earning an estimated net worth of $160 million. Miley’s career started in 2006 when she starred in "Hannah Montana." She made $15,000 per episode and raked in even more money while touring as the character, according to the New York Post. Miley has since built a successful singing career under her own name, with nine top 10 songs on the Billboard charts.

In 2019, Kylie Jenner became a billionaire, far outearning her famous mother, Kris Jenner.

Kris Jenner has long been called the ultimate "momager," as she brought her entire family into stardom about a decade ago. As the executive producer of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and the one handling all of her children’s dealings, she takes 10% of all Kardashian-Jenner family earnings. In all, she has earned an estimated $90 million net worth.

But that doesn’t come close to her youngest daughter’s estimated net worth of $1 billion. At 21 years old, Kylie Jenner has built a lucrative company called Kylie Cosmetics, which Forbes estimated is worth $900 million.

Thanks to her role in "Friends," Jennifer Aniston has earned more than her famous father, John Aniston.

John Aniston is a famous soap-opera actor who got his start on "Days of Our Lives" back in 1985 playing Victor Kiriakis — a role he still plays today. He has also appeared in a number of other TV shows, such as "Gilmore Girls," "The West Wing," and "Mad Men." As mainly a soap-opera actor, he has earned an estimated net worth of $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, AOL, and The Richest.

But his daughter, Jennifer Aniston, has far outearned him with an estimated net worth of $240 million. Of course, she earned most of her fortune on the famous TV show "Friends," which earned her $1.25 million per episode by the last season, according to Forbes. It’s also the show that keeps on giving because in 2018 Netflix reportedly paid the show’s actors $2 million each to keep the series on the streaming service. She also makes money from various endorsement deals, which usually add up to an estimated $10 million a year.
