Dannielynn Birkhead was born Hannah Rose Marshall Stern due to questions that surrounded her paternity.  She was born on September 7, 2006, in on the island of Nassau in the Bahamas. Sadly, her mother passed away when she was just four months old. Following Smith's death, there was further disruption in Dannielynn's life due to an ongoing custody situation. After the situation was resolved, Dannielynn's father Larry Birkhead vowed to give her a stable and happy life. She is now 12 years old, and already has a successful modeling career. Dannielynn has also appeared with her father on several popular reality TV shows like The Millionaire Matchmaker and Celebrity Wife Swap. 

Early Life and Parents

Dannielynn is the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead. Born Vickie Lynn Hogan, Anna Nicole Smith changed her name at the start of her modeling career open the suggestion of the team at Guess. Her daughter, Dannielynn has followed in her famous late mother's footsteps and is now a model in her own right. She began modeling at the age of 6 for the Guess Kids clothing brand. It is an interesting coincidence as her mother, Anna Nicole Smith became famous for her work as a Guess model. Her father Larry Birkhead met Anna Nicole through his work as a celebrity photographer. He is a native of Kentucky, and it is widely reported that he and his daughter now live in the state.

The young Dannielynn has already appeared on programs like Celebrity Wife Swap, The Millionaire Matchmaker, and Inside Edition along with her father. Her modeling career continues, although her main client appears to be Guess with little other work with other fashion brands or products. Because of her young age, her father may be limiting the amount of work that she does during her schooling years. The pair is reported to be very close, and enjoy a strong bond together. Dannielynn is known to be outgoing and charming and does not shy away from the spotlight! It is unclear if like her mother she also would like to be an actress. Due to her early success as a child model, it is likely that Dannielynn would also do well as an actress if she chooses that path. 

Net Worth

Dannielynn Birkhead's current net worth is estimated to be $10 million. Her mother, Anna Nicole Smith, had an estimated net worth of $5 million at the time of her death. Birkhead began modeling at the age of 6, most notably for the clothing brand Guess Kids. Anna Nicole was known for her larger-than-life persona. She enjoyed a lavish lifestyle that included sumptuous homes, world travel, and luxury furs and jewelry. It is not clear how much money she left to her daughter, and how Dannielynn came to be worth $10 million. Because of the sudden nature of Smith's passing, it is likely that all of her possessions and assets were handed down to her daughter. Even though Smith's net worth was estimated to be $5 million at the time of her death, when her estate was resolved it was worth a much lower number.

The estate was dissolved in 2008, two years after the model's death. It was valued at $700,000 and her daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead was deemed the sole heir.
