When it comes to a rapper's image, their 'come up' story is almost as important as how well he or she can actually flow on the mic. Whether that means being raised in the projects, selling drugs to get by, or serving time for living that thug life, relatable hardship is what earns a rapper respect. Unlike virtually any other aspect of life, growing up loaded puts you at a disadvantage if your life goal happens to be to kill it in the rap game, but that hasn't stopped these silver-spooners from dedicating their lives to making beats and rhymes.

From the sons and daughters of established rappers, to Kid Rock, who bankrolled an early album with a loan from his car dealership owner dad, to the son of Nike Founder Phil Knight, who failed his way upward from writing wack rhymes to running an animation studio, there are rags-to-riches stories here.

These are the rappers who were born filthy rich.

Ditching the runway for the rap game

Richard Hilfiger (aka Rich Hil) is the son of fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger. Born and raised on the mean streets of Greenwich, Conn., which he calls 'The Cut,' Rich couldn't look less like what you'd expect from an heir to a yuppie fashion empire. Rich is covered head to toe in tattoos and generally looks like he could use a bath and several days of sleep.

In 2011, just as his rap career was taking off, thanks to a record deal with Warner Bros., Rich did a now infamous interview with The Observer. In it, he reveals many things, including that he lives in his dad's apartment in The Plaza Hotel in NYC; that he's banned from all but one music studio in the city; and that he's already reached all of his 'old goals,' which were apparently just to become the best rapper from Connecticut and to get it on with some model he used to pleasure himself to when she was in underwear ads in XXLMagazine. So, he sounds like a real treat.

Like him or not, the guy is prolific. According to The Observer, he's been known to record four or five songs per night, a rapid rate of production which has spawned three studio albums and more than 18 mixtapes, which he reportedly used to give away for free. Hil also seems to be trying to live by his rap lyrics, which according to him are about 'girls, love, loss, being high, and that's about it.' He's done the rehab thing, had a high-profile relationship with pop star Rita Ora, and been arrested for punching a nightclub bouncer. If there was a how-to manual for transitioning from rich kid to rapper, Ricky's life would be it.

There was no limit from the day Romeo was born

Lil Romeo appeared on MTV Cribs when he was just 12-years-old. Granted, his hit song, 'My Baby,' had already peaked at no. 1, but it wasn't his own wealth he was flaunting. That's because Lil Romeo is the son of Master P, the rapper-turned-music mogul who once described his goals to the The New York Times as, 'I guess I want to be the ghetto Bill Gates.' That's why instead of just becoming a rapper, Master P started his own label, No Limit, and disrupted the entire rap game with a new method of servicing fans. His motto was to give the customer more for their money and to make sure it was a quality product, which is why No Limit albums featured more tracks than most other albums as well as flashy, over-the-top artwork. He also diversified his wealth into real estate holdings, various retail businesses, and even a 'phone sex company,' because it was the '90s then, and people still did that sort of thing.

Master P's strategy paid off. At the time of this writing, he had a reported net worth around $375 million, despite the decline of No Limit through the early 2000s and a bankruptcy filing. So, no, Master P hasn't reached that billionaire status yet, but he's doing just fine.

Lil Romeo, who now just goes by Romeo, was never able to duplicate the initial success of his first two albums, but he's continued to dish out new music, and let's not forget, he's always going to be the son to a dad who thought it was appropriate to give a 12-year-old a custom Mercedes, even though his feet probably couldn't reach the pedals, so we suspect Romeo is doing just fine, too.

Don't make him 'Gabe Day-Lose-It'

In 2013, multiple Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis' son, Gabe (then known as Gabe Day) released a video for his song, 'Green Auras.' It was basically a rap ballad to weed, in which Gabe claims he uses the drug for 'self-medication' to cope with the pressures of being compared to his dad. He also spits the line, 'Call me Gabe Day and not Gabe Day-Lewis, because if you're trying to call me out I'm 'bout to Gabe Day-Lose-It,' which effectively put an end to any further rap aspirations this guy had. Either Gabe recognized the cringe-worthiness of the video — which was shot on campus at Sarah Lawrence College, which we believe is known as 'the Compton of the Ivy League' — or it understandably didn't go over well with his notoriously press-shy dad, because it's no longer online. Except in this video, in which these two guys gleefully bash him.

Gabe has since moved on to 'light modeling' after a chance encounter with Karl Lagerfeld outside a Parisian cafe where they reminisced about spending a week together at the fashion mogul's beach home. Gabe has also supposedly turned down acting offers and is focusing on reinventing himself as a more self-reflective pop singer/songwriter, which is a good move, because something tell us there's probably a pretty small audience of rap fans who can relate to how bad it sucks to be Daniel Day-Lewis' kid.

Nike founder Phil Knight's son was the Payless Shoes of rap

There must be something about being a rich white kid that inspires rap lyrics, because like Gabe Kane, Travis Knight adopted an MC handle and tried to make it in hip-hop. Travis, who rapped under the name Chilly Tee, is the son of billionaire Nike founder Phil Knight, which begs the question: was there already a rapper named Juz Do It that we don't know about? Because that seems like a missed opportunity. Anyway, after recording his demo, which Vibe referred to as 'a high school English assignment on the civil rights movement,' Chilly enlisted his dad to use his connections to lean on MCA records to get his album made. MCA then linked Chilly up with veteran hip-hop producers The Bomb Squad, who according to Willamette Week, were 'the production crew behind just about every Public Enemy project, not to mention classics by Ice Cube and Slick Rick.' Though they produced a record that Bomb Squad lead producer Hank Shocklee claims 'still holds up,' Get Off Mine was not a success. It would be Chilly's first and last attempt at rap domination.

Resuming his identity as Travis Knight, he headed off to Portland State University, then started working for Vinton Studios, an animation company his dad was heavily invested in. According to Pricenomics' in-depth piece about Vinton, within three years, Travis was running the company, now renamed Laika, in what some viewed as blatant nepotism. For as bad as Travis was at rapping, he apparently excelled at running an animation studio. He shepherded the company to great success with the movies Coraline (2009),ParaNorman (2012), and The Boxtrolls (2014), and perhaps more importantly, he no longer thinks rapping 'I'll eat a beat for din
