What is Dannielynn Birkhead's net worth?
Dannielynn Birkhead, daughter of the late American Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith and freelance celebrity photographer Larry Birkhead, has a net worth of $3 million. This combined figure with her father Larry reflects their efforts to manage their finances prudently. Despite the public's expectations, Dannielynn did not inherit a substantial amount from her mother's estate or the contested $450 million inheritance linked to billionaire J. Howard Marshall.
Growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, Dannielynn was primarily raised by her father, away from the Hollywood spotlight, with occasional public appearances at events like the annual Kentucky Derby.
Early Life
Born on September 7, 2006, in Nassau, Bahamas, Dannielynn Birkhead entered a world of fame and immediately drew media attention. Tragedy struck just three days after her birth when her older half-brother, Daniel Wayne Smith, unexpectedly passed away.
At five months old, Dannielynn's life took another tragic turn with the death of her mother, Anna Nicole Smith, marking a distressing start to her life in the public eye.
Paternity
The question of Dannielynn's paternity brought further drama, with several men claiming to be her father, including Anna Nicole's live-in partner at the time, American attorney Howard K. Stern, bodyguard Alexander Denk, and German socialite Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, husband of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Following a prolonged legal battle, DNA tests confirmed Larry Birkhead as her biological father, leading to him being granted full custody in April 2007.

Dannielynn Birkhead Inheritance
An appeals court ruling confirmed that Dannielynn Birkhead will not receive any portion of the $450 million from J. Howard Marshall's estate. Despite Anna Nicole Smith’s claims of a verbal promise from the billionaire, extensive legal battles concluded in favor of Marshall's estate, leaving Dannielynn without the inheritance.
Media Appearances
At age six, Dannielynn followed in her mother's footsteps by modeling for Guess Kids, garnering widespread attention due to her mother’s previous association with the brand in the 1990s. Despite mixed reactions considering her young age, the modeling stint was a one-off opportunity.
As a teenager, Dannielynn, alongside her father, took part in the Lifetime documentary "Hopelessly in Love: Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead," providing insights into her parents' relationship. She continues to make occasional appearances on reality TV and talk shows, resonating with her mother’s legacy while crafting her own path.
