Who doesn’t want the lifestyle of a nepo baby?

Christian Wilkins and Harper Beckham are two very different people but there’s a reason you may be jealous of both of them.

OPINION

If there’s one thing I want to be when I grow up, it is a nepotism baby. Okay, I’ll settle for having the lifestyle of a nepotism baby.

A nepotism baby is someone whose privilege stems from who their parents are. It’s why Victoria Beckham and David Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn gets to own and drive an electric Jaguar before he even turns 30.

Yes, he drives a Jaguar, but his official occupation is just chef, despite the fact he has never worked in a kitchen, you know, being a chef.

It’s why his younger sister Harper, who is only 12, was spotted out and about with a $2,200 Goyard bag slung over her shoulder, boarding a yacht.

She’s a primary school student and already she owns a bag that could pay my rent for a month. Well almost a month — I live in Sydney.

It’s why Christian Wilkins, the son of entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins, gets to spend his life prancing around just being Christian — that is his official occupation.

The perfect example of the nepo baby lifestyle is that he recently went to America to become an actor, because why wouldn’t he?

In fairness to Christian, he deserves to be seen. He is tall, gorgeous and rocks a dress better than half the cast of Home And Away.

Sadly his Hollywood dreams came to a halt because of a writers’ strike that ruined his Meryl Streep plans.

What is a nepotism baby to do when Hollywood shuts down? Well, if you’re Christian, you go and party in Europe.

That is the life of the nepotism baby.

When one door that gets opened for you, gets closed, you go on holiday and wear some fun outfits and drink some cocktails.

Nepo kids don’t have to try or hustle because being who they are is already enough and we can’t blame them for it.

I know we like to make fun of them because they are rich, privileged, gorgeous and often not super talented, but wouldn’t we all want to live like one?

Who wouldn’t want to pursue every small hobby we had and pretend it was a career because it didn’t actually matter if you made money from it.

Look at Brooklyn. He bought a camera and then promptly released a photography book.

It included a photo of elephants that he claimed were “so hard to photograph,” but he still included the very bad photo.

Seriously, you have to squint to see the elephants and they’re elephants! Elephants are by definition huge and easy to spot.

Before you roll your eyes and wonder why he’d put that photo in his book and open himself up to ridicule, just remember that he doesn’t need to become some fancy respected photo person or win anyone’s approval.

He is already Brooklyn, the son of two very famous and hot people, he doesn’t need to be anything else.

He snagged a billionaire’s daughter all while being essentially unemployed. I mean, the rules that apply to normal people just don’t apply to him.

That is the real joy of the nepotism baby lifestyle — for most of us, when we fail, it matters and what we achieve also matters.

We worry about making rent and therefore we can’t spend our days turning our hobbies into careers. We also can’t take as many chances and sadly that means we don't get to dabble in modelling, acting or even just some light voice work.

We can’t fill our days by getting photographed at niche events and trying to come across as normal on social media.

Instead we make safe, sensible choices that involve our belongings not being repossessed and shopping at Kmart.

Sure, it’s fun to judge the nepo babies but really they are just living the lives that we all want. If I could boycott a career plan and head over to Europe to dance away my problems, well, you know I would and you would, too.
