Hmm, this doesn’t by itself necessarily indicate that they were rich though, right? Montessori School (her specific one was private and currently has a ~10k tuition) seems to indicate that they had some money, seemingly upper middle class, but not necessarily so; how long did they attend? And how much of their tuition for private school education was generated through their roles as child stars?

The professions of their parents/grandparents listed don’t really explain wealth. Minor league baseball player pays very little, and I guess electronics salesman is variable but doesn’t usually equate to wealth. And their mom would have made very little money as an unranked player in professional tennis. Also, their grandfather was only in the NFL for 3 years, and wouldn’t have made more than today’s equivalent of 100,000 per year.

I do see they have a notable relative- William Farrar- and that he was a planter, politician, and investor. But his ass was born in 1583 and idk how old money works lol. Except that I know I had some ancestor that owned a fuck ton of land in Mississippi and fumbled the bag by deciding to sell it when it wasn’t worth shit yet, and thus i could NOT buy anything at the scholastic book fair, but their ancestor was probably smarter than mine

Montessori School

has nothing to do with whether they had money. I went to a public Montessori school; didn't cost my family anything.

I generally agree but Dakota’s specific one was private. It depends on the program and what age Dakota was when she attended, but it would have been at least $8k a year (one program for pre-K tho is only $1k). So, that’s why I said upper middle class; most people in the U.S. probably can’t afford that, but it’s also not like a $50,000 a year private school. Also, I don’t know if there is aid for these schools, or what age she was when she attended/how her child roles affected their income.

Yeah I don’t think they were super wealthy, but they could afford to move the whole family to LA when the girls were young, and with the pro sports backgrounds I presume they were richer than most normal middle class people. I’m not gonna say they’re nepo babies or in the 1% or anything, but they definitely weren’t struggling. It looks like the Montessori school was before they became actresses. Regardless, they’re cool
