It always amazes me how much famous millennials accomplish at such as young age. Here I am, (not) studying for final exams and (not) finishing course projects for my second year of college, and there are people my age who work in multi-million dollar industries and have achieved so much.
Here are eight famous millennials who have taken the world by storm with their passion, talent, and creativity.
1. Zendaya, 19
This singer/actress/dancer/author/fashion icon is a force to be reckoned with. She has starred in two Disney Channel shows, released her first album and book in 2013, and is pushing the envelope with her unique and fierce style. Zendaya was also the youngest contestant ever on "Dancing with the Stars" during its sixteenth season (she was 16), and has since been announced as the newest CoverGirl.
2. Cara Delevingne, 23
This model turned actress has starred in numerous campaigns for brands such as Burberry, Chanel, and most recently, Saint Laurent. And let's not forgot that she considers Karl Lagerfeld a good friend. Regarding her acting career, Delevingne broke into the movie biz with her supporting role in the film "Paper Towns," and is starring in "Suicide Squad" alongside Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Ben Affleck.
3. Justin Bieber, 22
This singer may have a bad rep, but he has been extremely successful since being discovered by Usher at age 13. To date, he has sold over 44 million records in the United States alone and has won countless awards, one of which was a Grammy for his song "Where Are Ü Now” with Skrillex and Diplo.
4. Simone Biles, 19
If you're going to watch the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio this summer, be on the lookout for Biles, a three-time winner World and National all-around gymnast. This tumbling star has 14 medals (10 of them gold), and is predicted to be the frontrunner of the United States' gymnastics team.
5. and 6. Kendall Jenner, 20 and Kylie Jenner, 18
These celeb sisters are taking over the fashion industry. Together, the sisters have three clothing lines (PacSun, Madden Girl and independent), a video game, and have a total net worth of $17 million ($12 and $5 million, respectfully).
Kendall has walked in countless runway shows (including the Victoria Secret Fashion Show), had a special edition spread in Vogue, and is the new face of Estée Lauder.
Kylie has a clip-in hair extension line, and a makeup line. The Lip Kits from her makeup line sold out in under 20 minutes after their release.
7. Odell Beckham, Jr., 23
At age 21, the wide receiver for the New York Giants was drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft with the 12th pick. That same year, Beckham won both the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award and PFWA Rookie of the Year.
8. *Honorable Mention* Maddie Ziegler, 13
You may know this talented dancer from the reality show "Dance Moms," or any of her four appearances in Sia's latest music videos. Now that Ziegler has left the show, she is set to star in a movie directed by Sia entitled "Sisters" which is about the musician's childhood. Ziegler will also be joining the judging panel for "So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation." Talk about accomplishment!
*P.S. I'm obsessed with her
These millennials are an inspiration that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
