He’s only three-months-old, but M.I.A.’s infant son Ikhyd is set for life.
(With a name like that, the kid’s going to need all the redeeming qualities he can get.)
The Sri Lankan rapper’s fiance Benjamin Bronfman, 26, is expected to inherit more than $10 billion, which will eventually be passed down to the couple’s son. The fortune was amassed by the Bronfmans’ now defunct Seagram’s company – once the largest distiller of alcoholic beverages in the world.

Andrew Lloyd Webber: Not Leaving His Kids A Dime.
Posted on 07. Oct, 2008 by CSS.
World famous contemporary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber’s fortune is worth $1.3 billion, and while you can’t take it with you, he feels you don’t have to let your kids have it, either. With the idea that his children should make their own way in the world, Lord Lloyd Webber won’t be leaving any of his huge fortune to any of his five children.
The composer said he feels it is much more important for them to have a solid work ethic and earn their own way in life.
Lord Lloyd Webber revealed that his thoughts began to turn to his will around the time of his 60th birthday in March.
He has two children – Imogen, 31, and Nicholas, 29 – from his first marriage to Sarah Hugill, and three with his current wife Madeleine, Alastair, 16, William, 15, and Isabella, 12.
In a bid to avoid his children growing up like many celebrity offspring who regularly feature in the tabloids partying and drinking with their parents’ money, Lord Lloyd-Webber wants his kids to learn how to earn a living.
He said: ‘I don’t believe in inherited money at all and they aren’t bothered. They don’t think that way.’

If that is the case and his kids really aren’t bothered by that- that is extremely rare!
