15 years after 11 uber-wealthy heirs appeared in the controversial documentary 'Born Rich," here's where they are — from the White House to the Amazon
• The 2003 documentary "Born Rich" is 15 years old now.
• The film looks into the lives of incredibly wealthy young heirs and heiresses.
• Some of the film's participants regretted appearing in the controversial documentary.
Fifteen years ago, Johnson & Johnson heir Jamie Johnson came out with a documentary exploring what it's really like to inherit a fortune.
He delved into his own experience growing up wealthy, and also interviewed 10 other young, uber-rich heirs and heiresses. Some were friends, and others ran in the same social circles.
The interviews delved into the attitudes, taboos, and culture of the 1%, and produced an endless number of memorable, outrageous, and, occasionally, tone deaf soundbites.
The resulting film, "Born Rich," took Johnson years to put together, and resulted in two Emmy nominations and a lawsuit from one of the cast members.
But that's all in the past. Here's a look at where all of the "Born Rich" stars have ended up:
Georgina Bloomberg
Georgina Bloomberg, the 34-year-old second daughter of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, is heir to one of the biggest fortunes in the world. Forbes estimates that Bloomberg is worth $49.8 billion.
That's part of the reason she made headlines when she declared at 19 that "having the last name Bloomberg sucks" in "Born Rich."
In the years since the documentary, Bloomberg has established herself as a top equestrian and philanthropist with a passion for animal rights. She's also come around to be more accepting of her family name, telling Town and Country, "It's a last name that now I'm proud of. At 19, I wasn't."
Stephanie Ercklentz
In the documentary, finance heiress Stephanie Ercklentz said she had never dated outside of her "social background," The Daily Mail reported.
She's since married powerhouse investor Chase Coleman III, tying the knot with him in Palm Beach in 2005. Coleman is worth $2.2. billion, according to Forbes.
The heiress and her husband are both private people, Town and Country reported, and have kept a low profile in the press for years.
Christina Floyd
Christina Floyd, the daughter of famous golfer Raymond Floyd, attended Wake Forest University and graduated with a degree in art history.
Floyd remained close friends with fellow "Born Rich" star Ivanka Trump over the years, Town and Country reported. Putting her art history degree to good use, she worked at Sotheby's, where she met art dealer Emmanuel Di Donna, before leaving to run her own firm, Floyd Contemporary.
According to 27east.com, she married Di Donna in 2010, in a beachside ceremony in Mexico.
