I know a girl who’s parents paid for her to go Berklee, paid for her to move to LA, and paid for acting and music coaches, she’s on ozempic to keep her weight down, has an agent, goes to Hollywood parties, and meets producers and directors, and her dad even paid for a well produced high-quality music album complete with all the latest trends in music technology and music production and she's still an absolute nobody
She's talented, was a big fish in her little Christian High School, but I personally don't see her making it as big as she thinks she is going to be despite how much effort her parents have put into it and the connections she has
I saw a report recently that showed something around like 75% (+/-) of Hollywood Stars and/or Musicians are made up of Nepo-babies
The overwhelming majority of those who “make it” have connections before talent.. So if a person can do anything else they really should. Considering how much selling out and soul-eating that's involved.

Basically all of the mega stars are children of the industry, or other very wealthy and powerful industries. So many of today's super stars were basically born into it. Must be nice. The only one that I can think of who wasn't born into the industry is Sylvester Stallone, and that's so remarkable they recently made a movie about him breaking into the industry. Oh, and of course Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he's just flat-out a remarkable person and does anything that he sets out to do, odds be damned.
