Are you related to anyone rich and famous?

Inspired by the Cadence thread!

I'm not related to anyone rich and famous or even know anyone like that for that matter... except some basketball players in my neighborhood and the Star Wars Episode 1 Kid...
 
My family is related to the gentleman who used to play the original Tarzan back in the day. I believe he is currently living in Australia.
 
not much. except that my dad's uncle was an admiral and has his own fleet in the nationalist army long time ago. other than that, i have an aunt who owns a 12 story business building down in Brazil, who is boss of a small company. she isnt doing to well anymore though for the past few years, she only has maybe only around $10 million now.
 
My mom's side of the family has been part of the "in-crowd" of Virginia politics dating back to the 1700s. Her parents use to party with the JFK Kennedies and such. Otherwise, no.
 
The last Tzar of Russia had one of my great great great (or whatever) grandfathers as a personal family guard and the other of my great great great (or whatever) grand fathers as one of the highest ranking Generals in the Russian army. My family has an oil painting of both of them standing with the Tzar Nicholas and his family. They fled the revolution, coming down through Canada to settle in the U.S. The dumped a HUGE portion of the jewels that they came with into Hudson Bay because the jewelry could have been tracked if ever found and they feared for their lives even over here.

My mother's mother's mother's mother used to deliver the newspaper to King Kamehameha. Our family has a gold coin given to her by the king.
 
My (IIRC) great paternal uncle, whom I've never met, owns several car dealerships in the south. Chevy, Cadillac, and a few other makes, I think. Don't know much other than that and he's a millionare. He started from very humble beginnings to (read: dirt ass poor).
 
Not to sure about the rich part but my half sister out in LA directs softcore porn movies. Nothing really explicit, just the cinemax type stuff. She's planning on coming back to Ohio this September to visit. Haven't seen her in about 10-12 years, should be interesting.
 
Well my Great great great great great grandpa was George Ross signer of the Declaration of Independance Unlce inlaw to Betsy Ross maker of our first flag. Makes me extra proud to be an American.
 
Where the guy with the Mclaren F1? Remember posting the pics about some sisters bf or something.......something to do with paypal.....
 
My cousin is Cyrus Bolooki, the drummer for New Found Glory. He's gotten me tickets to concerts and I got to look around on thier tour bus. It was pretty cool. It's wierd to see your "dorky little cousin" on MTV Cribs.
