Vanity Fair's Sexy Heirs & Heiresses
Filed under: Wealth
The June issue of Vanity Fair takes a look at 38 young, sexy heirs and heiresses around the world and tries to convince us that they're "making privilege count." The story, titled Fortune's Children, notes that "At a moment when the economy is teetering and populism is all the rage, today's gilded youth have got their work cut out for them, and they know it. Whether it's expanding the family business or striking out independently, launching a career in the arts or plunging into philanthropy, the 38 heirs and heiresses to fabled names and consequential fortunes in this portfolio seem determined to make a contribution to society at large while carving out identities of their own." Pictured above are Joséphine and Alexandre De La Baume, the half-Swiss, half-French - and more than likely halfwit but more than halfway attractive - children of Baron and Baronne de La Baume, of investment banking fame.
