Before everyone disappears for the holidays, please enjoy this addendum to Vulture’s iconic nepo baby special that I have prepared.
Thanks to Vulture, ‘nepo babies’ have been all anyone can talk about this week. For the uninitiated, a nepo baby is the child of a wealthy, famous, or powerful person (usually all three) who has followed in their parents’ footsteps.
The phrase is short for ‘nepotism baby’ and implies someone who got to their position through their connections, rather than hard graft alone. Through researching this piece, we’ve learned that Australia is not as packed with nepo children as America, although many famous faces not included below come from upper-middle class backgrounds and attended wealthy private schools, which can result in similar privileges.
While Vulture’s definitive guide to nepo babies was thorough, it didn’t include any of our home-grown Australian nepo babies.
This is our offering, then: an Antipodean addendum to Vulture’s guide to nepo babies. Enjoy.

On a personal note, I just wanted to thank every single person who has subscribed to my newsletter this year, and an extra big thank you to anyone who’s recommended it, either via Substack or word of mouth or to friends. It means more than you know. I hope you all enjoy the holiday season, however and wherever you’re spending it.
