11 Hollywood Nepo Babies Who Were Cut Off By Their Rich Parents (Or Will Be)

Kim Kardashian said, "I just think that it’s actually probably harder we did grow up with this privileged life, but knowing that at a certain age we’re gonna be cut off and we can’t ask our parents for anything."

In Hollywood, nepo babies generally benefit from their parents' wealth as well as their industry connections and influence. However, that's not always the case.

Here are 11 celebs who were (or will be) cut off financially by their rich parents:

1. Dakota Johnson's dad, Don Johnson, cut her off when she decided to pursue acting over going to college. She "definitely had moments where [she] couldn’t afford groceries and things like that."

She told Today, "It was difficult, but I figured it out. He said to everybody — by 'everybody,' I mean all of my siblings...he calls it the ‘payroll.’ It’s an allowance. He said if you go to college, you still get an allowance. And I was like, ‘Well, I’m going to be an actress,’ so he was like, ‘Alright, well, you’re on your own.’ I was cut off."

However, in times of struggle, she turned to her mom, Melanie Griffith, for help.

"She was the nice one," Dakota said.

2. In 2007, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, who's the daughter of Robert Kardashian Sr. and Kris Jenner, told Inside Edition, "I was cut off when I graduated college."
