12 More Actors You Didn’t Know Are ‘Nepotism Babies’

Acting is a mug’s game. People know your name, but they also know your business, and the real money goes to the people making the movies, not the meat puppets starring in them. Lyle Waggoner, a successful actor on TV for decades, figured this out. Rather than being content to star in Wonder Woman, in 1979, Waggoner bought a bunch of trailers and started renting them out to productions. Before long, just about every trailer rented in Hollywood came through Waggoner. He died in 2020, and in 2021, his children sold the “Star Waggon” family business for $222 million. That’s my kind of nepotism.
