No. 1: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
Age: 1 year
Parents: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
As the youngest child of the world's prettiest power couple and the only one bearing their immaculate genes, Shiloh pulls her baby bounty and maintains her cache by keeping a relatively low profile. With a reported $4.1 million payday from People magazine for her first cover (the loot was donated to charity), she's poised to become a bigger media maven than Mom.
No. 2: Suri Cruise
Age: 1 year
Parents: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
America's most recognized celebrity cherub, Suri Cruise played the press with intelligence since she was presented to the world on the cover of Vanity Fair. The perennially designer-clad progeny of media mongers TomKat is constantly captured traveling the world and shopping with her mom in her very own pair of custom-fitted Christian Louboutins.
No. 3: Zahara Jolie-Pitt
Age: 2 years
Parents: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
It's no secret that this tot holds some serious purse strings, as a shot of her carrying her own Valentino Histoire bag (grown-up price: around $1,600) shows that no gal is ever too young to dress for the adoring paparazzi. Being known as photogenic and full of personality pays off, as Ethiopian-born Zahara ranks two spots above her brother Pax.
No. 4: Sean Preston Federline
Age: 2 years
Parents: Britney Spears and Kevin Federline
Sean's enormous Web and press presence put him within the top three, but his mother's ongoing tumble from pop princess to flashbulb farceur forced him to the No. 4 spot. Sean's list of media coups include reportedly stolen pics from a mother-son photo shoot and snaps of him riding in his mother's lap as she drove away from the paparazzi.
No. 5: Pax Jolie-Pitt
Age: 4 years
Parents: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Pax is the latest addition to the Brangelina brood. Adopted from Vietnam early this year, he ranks near the bottom of the list in Web and press presence. But his recognizable mug and A-list parents give him space in the top five.
No. 6: Sam Alexis Woods
Age: 6 months
Parents: Tiger and Elin Woods
The darling daughter of superstar golfer Tiger and his model wife Elin earned her rank next to the Hollywood heirs with a fan base that counts sports buffs and celebrity experts alike. Though the first pictures of Sam were released on tigerwoods.com just one week after her birth, the move did little to calm the ensuing media mob.
Tie, No. 7: David Banda
Age: 2 years
Parents: Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Controversy over the Malawi adoption of Madonna and Guy Ritchie's youngest child sparked headlines from the beginning. David's biological father was uncertain of the terms of adoption, while human-rights organizations accused Madonna of violating Malawi's laws, all of which elevated David's Web presence to No. 1.
Tie, No. 7: Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead
Age: 1 year
Parents: Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead
The well-covered drama of Dannielynn explains her No. 1 rank for press coverage. With a short biography that reads like a soap-opera script, her life has already been filled with paternity tests, custody battles and the tragic death of her mother.
Tie, No. 9: Romeo Beckham
Age: 5 years
Parents: David and Victoria Beckham
Though he beat his younger brother in popularity, Romeo must share his No. 9 rank with Cruz. The Beckham's middle child is often caught by photographers in the middle of soccer practice or watching his pop's No. 23 jersey in action from the sidelines. His profile was raised in 2006 when it was revealed that he has epilepsy.
Tie, No. 9: Cruz Beckham
Age: 2 years
Parents: David and Victoria Beckham
The youngest of the Beckham clan, Cruz beat older brother Romeo in both Web and press presence, but tied in overall rank. He has been a media darling since 2005, when he was photographed just days after his birth. But his biggest asset? His parents, whose move to L.A. gives him ample opportunity to smile for the ruling paparazzi.
