Nepo baby

A nepo baby is a person who is perceived to benefit from their parent's celebrity, social capital or wealth to achieve success in a closely related field of work to their mother or father. The term is a portmanteau of nepotism and baby. Nepo babies are characterized as being able to exploit their parental connections in specific industries to build their own careers in the same or similar sector. The term is often used pejoratively to describe those who found fame or success which critics believe was unearned or undeserved.
