Growing Up Famous and Wealthy

Ava Elizabeth Sambora was born to Richie Sambora and superstar actress Heather Locklear back in 1997. Since then, the young starlet has turned into a rising star in the entertainment world. Despite the high-profile struggles of her mother, there have been many times when nobody would have blamed Ava Sambora for taking a break. Still, the young actress and model has already accrued her own net worth of nearly $500k. Still just 20-years-old, Heather Locklear's daughter has plenty to look forward to in the future.

Despite her prestigious net worth, Ava Sambora hasn't had the same high-profile life that her parents enjoyed when they were her age. Instead of spending a ton of money on cars and houses, Sambora has instead invested in her education. Sambora is currently enjoying a free ride to Loyola Marymount University after earning a 4.2 GPA while in high school.
