Georgina Bloomberg, James Murdoch and Holly Branson are named three of the most famous billionaire kids in the world. These inheritors are not only rich, but also good looking and well-educated. However a few of them made the headlines in 2011, often for the cash, gifts or jobs lavished upon them by parents.
Georgina Bloomberg
Equestrian Georgina Bloomberg is the 29-year-old daughter of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Obsessed with equestrianism, Georgina started saddling up at the age of 4. She's now considered one of America's best jumpers and has the generously-sized walk-in closet's worth of show jumping awards to prove it. In June 2011, she released a novel “The A Circuit” writing about the daily life of billionaire’s daughter. The novel is her response to several comments like "Who needs to learn to ride when her father owns half of New York?" She thinks that it is the downside of being a billionaire kid when sometimes nobody believes everything she earns is “self-made”.

James Murdoch
James Murdoch, born in 1972, is the younger son of News Corporation’s CEO, Rupert Murdoch. James had a tough year as he tried to cope with phone-hacking scandals at the now closed News of The World newspaper.

Holly Branson
Holly Branson, daughter of the Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson, married shipbroker Fred Andrews on her father's private island in Caribbean last December. The royal couple, Prince William and wife Kate Middleton also attended the wedding.
Petra Ecclestone
Petra Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, spent $85 million (with $82.4 million borrowed from her mother) to buy the biggest villa in Los Angeles County. The 56,500-square-foot house, formerly owned by Candy Spelling, widow of TV producer Aaron Spelling, has 27 bathrooms and 14 bedrooms.

Ekaterina Rybolovleva
Not to be outdone by the Ecclestones, last December, Ekaterina Rybolovleva, 22-year-old daughter of Russian billionaire Dmitriy Rybolovlev, paid $88 million for former Citigroup chairman Sandy Weill's apartment at 15 Central Park West in Manhattan.
