She may only be 10 years old but Blue Ivy Carter is already a multi-millionaire who has achievements to her name that artists can only hope for in their careers.
As the firstborn daughter of superstar musicians Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Blue was always set to live a life unlike many others on the planet – and fans can’t get enough of the snippets they get to see of her lavish life.
Over the weekend, fans were left stunned after the celebrity offspring casually bid over $80K for a pair of Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings at a charity gala.
Beyoncé ($426m) and Jay-Z ($1.1b) are worth over $1.5 billion between them, providing their three children – Blue Ivy, 10, and four-year-old twins Sir and Rumi – with an impressive $510m each, according to Buzz Bingo. But that didn’t stop social media users from reeling in shock over the fact the pre-teen was able to put up such a large amount of money at the event.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest child, Blue Ivy Carter has lived a charmed life so far, with the 10-year-old often making headlines over aspects of her lavish upbringing

And if Blue Ivy’s large fortune wasn’t enough to garner attention, the young star has fast become a name in her own right after making it clear she might already be the boss of her billionaire parents.
In 2018, Blue went viral after the then-six-year-old was caught ordering her mom and dad to stop clapping during Havana singer Camila Cabello’s speech about the importance of Dreamer children.
Earlier this year she was the talk of the internet once again after she was seemingly left mortified when her famous father gave a public hug and kiss at the NBA Finals game in June.
However, the young star has also made headlines for her record-breaking wins at awards shows as well as her scene-stealing cameos within her parents’ groundbreaking projects.
Indeed, Blue seems on track to surpass the achievements of her family members should she pursue a career in music and entertainment.
Here, FEMAIL breaks down the luxurious upbringing of the young star who appears to already be a mogul-in-the-making thanks to her charmed upbringing.
Already a multi-millionaire aged 10: Blue is set to inherit a large fortune, has her own stylish and might eventually earn money through trademarked goods

Since she was a child, Blue (pictured left in 2016) has called on the services of stylist Manuel Mendez, who is based in New York and employed by Parkwood, Beyoncé’s management company (pictured right in 2019 wearing custom Alexander McQueen)
Blue Ivy has spent her entire life in the spotlight, being dubbed ‘the most famous baby in the world’ by Time magazine just two days after she was born in 2012.
According to Buzz Bingo, Beyoncé ($426m) and Jay-Z ($1.1billion) are worth £1.5 billion between them, providing their three children with $510m each.
The data was gathered from celebrity parents and their total estimated net worth in dollars and then divided evenly and ranked among the number of children to determine the estimated net worth per child.
Soon after she was born, her parents attempted to trademark her name — unsuccessfully, as there was already an established business called Blue Ivy.
They have now applied to trademark Blue Ivy Carter for various uses including fragrance, beauty, fashion, and entertainment services.
The trademark dispute is still ongoing with Beyoncé recently throwing some not-so-subtle shade at wedding planning owner Wendy Morales in the court documents, where noted that she’s trying to trademark ‘Blue Ivy Carter’ and not ‘Blue Ivy.’
The Lion King star argued that Morales’ claims ‘that consumers are likely to be confused between a boutique wedding event planning business and Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of two of the most famous performers in the world, is frivolous and should be refused in its entirety.’
She also said that ‘the presence of the word “CARTER” ties the commercial impression of BGK’s Mark to the celebrity Blue Ivy Carter rather than Opposer’s regional event planning business.’
It was reported that the first thing Blue’s parents wanted to launch is a sportswear line for children.
When it comes to getting dressed herself, Blue calls on the services of stylist Manuel Mendez, who is based in New York and employed by Parkwood, Beyonce’s management company.
For years Blue has been styled by Manuel, rather than sharing a stylist with her mother, who is looked after by Ty Hunter, or her father who is dressed by June Ambrose.

When it comes to holidays, only the best is good enough for Blue Ivy and her family. Thankfully, fans can’t get enough seeing her adventures, with each new image of Blue living it up in paradise quickly become memes online.
Indeed, the brood have been seen enjoying extravagant getaways to places in France, Croatia and Thailand among many other destinations over the years.
Other breaks have included a seaside holiday in Brazil, a cruise on a $56 million private yacht and a speedboat trip around the Italian island of Capri.
In 2014 they even had the Louvre museum to themselves, which allowed Bey to pose for selfies in front of the Mona Lisa.
It also helps that Blue’s father Jay-Z owns a £30 million Bombardier Challenger 850 private jet, with ‘S. Carter’ in curly script on the side – which boast a bedroom, two bathrooms and a kitchen.
When the family aren’t enjoying a holiday, they spend their time in one of five mega-properties — two in Los Angeles and one each in New York, The Hamptons and Miami.
It’s been reported that Blue’s first home in New York had a $15,000 cot shaped like a royal carriage and her parents spent $56,000 on a Barbie doll encrusted with diamonds.

Happily bids a small fortune at events: Much like her parents, Blue appears to have no issue spending large sums on luxury items

Blue Ivy Carter – the ten-year-old daughter of Beyoncé, 41, and Jay-Z, 52 – stunned the Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The young girl bid over $80K for a pair of Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings, shocking her grandmother Tina Knowles-Lawson, 68, and Keke Palmer, 29.
Monique Rodriguez, the founder of Mielle Organics, went head-to-head with the formidable youngster and made the winning bid of $105K.
This isn’t the first time that Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest child has caused a stir at the annual event’s luxury auction. In 2019, when she was only six years old, Blue Ivy bid $19K on another item up for auction at that year’s Wearable Art Gala.
The art connoisseur, who was six years old at the time, bid on an acrylic painting of a young Sidney Poitier and she entered into a bidding war with a mysterious rival. That mystery bidder turned out to be none other than Tyler Perry, 53, who didn’t even know that he was bidding against a child.
‘Somebody else was bidding against me,’ Perry later told NBC’s Today show after winning the bidding war with Blue Ivy. ‘I didn’t know who it was.’
‘I look over and it’s her,’ said the influential filmmaker. ‘She’s taking the paddle out of Jay’s hand and Beyoncé’s hand and she’s bidding.’

Perry’s resolve didn’t waver once he realized that his competition was practically a kindergartener.
‘This kid’s not outbidding me today,’ he said of his determination. ‘You gonna learn today, little girl, I’m getting this painting.’
The celebrity auctioneer for the gala that year was Star Jones and she shined a light on how Blue Ivy’s passion for art has developed.
‘Her mother and father have been talking about how you gather art and that is a big deal for African Americans,’ said Jones from the stage.
The former host of The View went on to add that this insight came straight from Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson.
Tina is co-founder of the WACO Theatre Center, which puts on the Wearable Art Gala every year in order to benefit WACO’s artistic and youth mentorship programs.

Blue became the youngest person featured in a chart single when the noise of her heartbeat taken from an ultrasound scan featured in her father’s 2012 song, Glory. The rapper – real name Shawn Carter – used a recording of her first cries on the same track.
His 2017 album 4:44 (which failed to win in any of the eight Grammy categories in which it was nominated) included a track titled Blue’s Freestyle/We Family.
The 40-second showcase of his daughter rapping was partly unintelligible but she could clearly be heard shouting out ‘Boomshakalaka!’ which soon caught on with fans.
Meanwhile, Blue also has a ‘Feat. Blue Ivy’ credit on the piano ballad Blue on her mum’s 2013 self-titled album Beyoncé.
