The main rule of capitalism is that money should make money. And if there is free capital, then you just need to invest it in something. Therefore, while some parents allow their children to mindlessly spend money on newfangled things and parties, others prefer to invest in their children and help them build a career. Agree that a talented child is a great business project. Today we will remember our famous "golden children", in the development of which parents have invested more than one million rubles.

Sasha Spielberg

Alexandra Balkovskaya is not at all an ordinary girl. At 24, she has over 6.5 million subscribers and over 170 thousand fans on the English-speaking channel. In addition to music, the girl broadcasts TV, acts in films, participates in shows of famous designers and develops fashionable clothes herself, and in 2017 she even managed to take part in parliamentary hearings.

The girl started her video blog at the age of 11, when the move from Russia to Cyprus prevented her from communicating with friends. Parents allowed her to do anything on the Internet, just not to reveal her real name. This is how the pseudonym appeared. By the way, her mother is also a blogger, has creative talents, and was a model in the past.

But his father is a well-known person in the advertising business, he owns part of the Z-Agency studio and is engaged in venture capital investments. His daughter became such a risky, young and promising project. Alexander Balkovsky is promoting a business called "Sasha Spielberg" and is doing it very successfully. Recently, his ward took the 30th line with an income of 700 thousand dollars in the ranking of Russian celebrities under 40.

Alsou

This star was "lit" in 1999, and for a long time the girl listened to reproaches that her father, at that time vice president of Lukoil, had a hand in this. Of course, the father's "oil" money played a role: he sponsored not only high-budget clips, but also films with his daughter's participation. The singer's start was very promising - her first singles were well received, and Alsou's soft and gentle voice conquered even a European listener. So, for the first time in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, a Russian contestant has become a leader and in 2000 took second place.

Over time, Alsou was able to prove that dad's millions, although they helped start a career, but further success is exclusively her personal achievement. For 22 years of her career, Alsou has recorded 11 albums. Songs such as "Sometimes", "Autumn" and "Winter Dream" have become her calling cards. Even having become a mother three times, the singer continues to perform and delight fans with new songs.

Nyusha

Her father is not an oil tycoon, but you must admit that it is simply impossible to be a member of the Laskovy May collective and not make a lot of money in the nineties. Therefore, from childhood, his daughter developed her vocal abilities and at the age of five she got into a recording studio. Her first single was "Song of the Big Dipper". Subsequently, 14-year-old Anna Vladimirovna Shurochkina tried to get into the TV project "Star Factory", but it did not work out due to her too young age.

Nyusha was able to show herself to the whole country in 2007 - the girl participated in the show "STS lights a superstar". There was also success in the "New Wave" competition, but real luck and popularity came to the singer with the release of the song "Howl at the Moon". Now, none of the significant concerts and events is complete without the participation of this singer. By the way, her dad is her personal producer.

Nastya Kudri

And here it was not without dad's money. Rather, they are Nastya's main talent. The commercial director of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company is not the first time to fund the promotion of his daughter's musical projects. It all started at the age of 15, when the girl accidentally got into the video of the singer Irakli Pirtskhalava "Dislike". The producer seized on a wealthy young lady and offered her a singing career. Most likely, the father understood what his daughter's new hobby would cost him, but under the pressure of the desire of his beloved child he gave up. So Nastya, having shortened her last name from Kudryashkina to Curls, began to sing.

On her 18th birthday, she asked her parents for an unusual gift - to pay for the shooting of the video for her and the guest star of rapper Kravets. Subsequently, the girl retained this practice - she starred with Russian and Hollywood actors and singers. The girl received a prestigious education at Moscow State University, but she is in no hurry to become an ordinary journalist. Now on the account of the "dear" star several songs and all the chances that dad will continue to sponsor her career.

Alesya Kafelnikova

The only daughter of the famous tennis player has been accustomed to a bohemian life since childhood. She grew up in the house of her father's parents in Sochi, studied at a prestigious Moscow school, then continued her education in London. And all because, when parting with his wife, Yevgeny Kafelnikov "bought out" the right to sole custody from her mother. Alesya became his main business project. The father did not skimp on education and entertainment of his daughter. The girl received a horse as a gift, she was filmed in a movie, invited to television.

As she believes, in the modeling business, she achieved everything on her own, because from the age of 15, Alesya has been cooperating with the best agencies. She is not shy about filming candid photo shoots. Also, the socialite is happy to maintain her pages on social networks. And in 2019, she shot a video dedicated to her former lover. At the moment, the star beauty is busy with more important things - according to her message, she married entrepreneur Georgy Petrishin and is soon preparing to become a mother.

Alexa

A sweet little girl with many braids - this is how Alexa came to the "Star Factory-4" back in 2004. Over the years, the singer has changed her image and changed her appearance, having undergone several plastic surgeries. But her repertoire has not changed much. The singer is still remembered for her main hit "Where are you", which was recorded when she was a "manufacturer". The girl became famous for her romance with rapper Timati and even recorded a joint single with him "When you are near."

But then the singer's career did not develop very successfully, despite the fact that her producers were Igor Krutoy, Yana Rudkovskaya and Alexander Seltsov. And of course, the star's most important mentor is her Ukrainian dad Alexander Chvikov, who headed the Energosbytprom company. Thanks to him, Alexa was able to break into the modeling business, with his support, her albums "My Vindetta" and "Invented World" were recorded, music videos were shot.

Sasha Zhulina

The figure skater Tatyana Navka also decided to support her daughter's creativity. However, it would be a sin not to take advantage of the opportunity when Dmitry Peskov is the almighty press secretary of the Russian president himself. Therefore, Maxim Fadeev himself is engaged in the creation of compositions for the future star. And of course, all the new songs of the singer Alexia (under such a pseudonym Sasha decided to perform) immediately fall into rotation. Now the girl is learning the basics of acting at the prestigious New York Film Academy, and who knows, maybe money and connections will help light a new star in the firmament of the domestic show business.
