blue link baby

a celebrity or well-known person whose parents are rich and/or also famous, with the implication that this person was able to jumpstart their career by way of their family's wealth.

originally used to describe "indie" musicians who had their parent's money to be able to focus on making music and touring instead of worrying about things like rent or bills, but can describe anyone in their respective field.

the term comes from wikipedia, where a person's family lineage and personal life is shared. the child of a well-known family will often have their parents' names in blue links, implying that their family is already wealthy.
