Here are the eight richest kids in the world and where their wealth comes from, quotes Yahoo Finance.

The title of the world's richest child at the top goes to Princess Charlotte of the United Kingdom with her net worth reaching US$5 billion, most of which comes from the kingdom. Princess Charlotte is the second child of Prince William and Princess Kate who is only 8 years old.
To date, Princess Charlotte doesn't have a job, nor has she received her inheritance, so her net worth is determined by her value to the British economy in terms of her ability to generate billions of dollars in sales, according to Reader's Digest of Australia.
As a direct descendant of King Charles III, Princess Charlotte is third in line to the throne after Prince William and Prince George in the order of succession to the British monarchy.
2. Prince George Alexander Louis: US$ 3.6 billion (Rp. 56.6 trillion)

9-year-old Prince George is the eldest child of William and Kate, third in line to the British throne. Just like her sister, Charlotte, her net worth is determined by her value to her country's economy and her ability to generate billions of dollars in sales.
3. Blue Ivy Carter: US$ 720 Million (Rp. 11.3 trillion)

12-year-old Blue Ivy Carter is the eldest daughter of singer Beyoncé and rapper Jay-Z. In addition to her trust and investment assets and inheritance, which make up the majority of her net worth, Blue Ivy has production and songwriting credits to her name, which equate to royalties.
She wrote the song, “Brown Skin Girl,” for the 2019 soundtrack album for Disney's live “The Lion King: The Gift.” Plus, he narrates the audiobook version of “Hair Love.”
4. Stormi Webster: US$ 410 Million (Rp. 6.4 trillion)
6-year-old Stormi Webster is the oldest child of Kylie Jenner and rapper Travis Scott. Like Blue Ivy, Stormi has trust and investment assets that account for the majority of her net worth.
However, Stormi's mother, Kylie, teased that Stormi will soon be launching her own brand, which means the little girl's net worth will likely grow rapidly.
5. North West: US$ 375 Million (Rp. 5.8 trillion)
North West is the eldest child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Most of the boy's net worth comes from trust assets and investments.
However, the 10-year-old is also busy building his own company, which means his net worth will likely grow exponentially. North's mother, Kim, also has companies in various fields, including entertainment, toys, advertising and cosmetics.
Additionally, North has film credits to her name whose most recent is voice acting for the 2023 film “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie.”
6. Vlad and Niki: US$ 286.75 Million (Rp. 4.4 trillion)
