The 14 Best and Worst Nepo Babies of 2022
Best and Worst Nepo Babies 2022
2022 was the year “nepo baby,” a term thrown around online for at least two years, became a well-known slur. Hollywood has long employed the sons, daughters, siblings, and cousins of some of its biggest stars. But it only takes a few TikTokers scanning Wikipedia to turn an age-old phenomenon and widely available information into breaking news—not only that, but something we should all be enraged about.
I don’t know how angry the general public actually is about Hollywood’s nepo-baby craze. But the nickname has taken hold of celebrity discourse on the internet and in the media this year. Its definition has even expanded to include just about anyone related to a rich person, whether or not they’re employed in the same field.
