8 Famous Millennials And Their Unbelievable Accomplishments
Marie Claire

It always amazes me how much famous millennials accomplish at such as young age. Here I am, (not) studying for final exams and (not) finishing course projects for my second year of college, and there are people my age who work in multi-million dollar industries and have achieved so much.

Here are eight famous millennials who have taken the world by storm with their passion, talent, and creativity.

1. Zendaya, 19

This singer/actress/dancer/author/fashion icon is a force to be reckoned with. She has starred in two Disney Channel shows, released her first album and book in 2013, and is pushing the envelope with her unique and fierce style. Zendaya was also the youngest contestant ever on "Dancing with the Stars" during its sixteenth season (she was 16), and has since been announced as the newest CoverGirl.

2. Cara Delevingne, 23

This model turned actress has starred in numerous campaigns for brands such as Burberry, Chanel, and most recently, Saint Laurent. And let's not forgot that she considers Karl Lagerfeld a good friend. Regarding her acting career, Delevingne broke into the movie biz with her supporting role in the film "Paper Towns," and is starring in "Suicide Squad" alongside Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Ben Affleck.

3. Justin Bieber, 22

This singer may have a bad rep, but he has been extremely successful since being discovered by Usher at age 13. To date, he has sold over 44 million records in the United States alone and has won countless awards, one of which was a Grammy for his song "Where Are Ü Now” with Skrillex and Diplo.

4. Simone Biles, 19


If you're going to watch the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio this summer, be on the lookout for Biles, a three-time winner World and National all-around gymnast. This tumbling star has 14 medals (10 of them gold), and is predicted to be the frontrunner of the United States' gymnastics team.

5. and 6. Kendall Jenner, 20 and Kylie Jenner, 18

These celeb sisters are taking over the fashion industry. Together, the sisters have three clothing lines (PacSun, Madden Girl and independent), a video game, and have a total net worth of $17 million ($12 and $5 million, respectfully).

Kendall has walked in countless runway shows (including the Victoria Secret Fashion Show), had a special edition spread in Vogue, and is the new face of Estée Lauder.

Kylie has a clip-in hair extension line, and a makeup line. The Lip Kits from her makeup line sold out in under 20 minutes after their release.

7. Odell Beckham, Jr., 23

At age 21, the wide receiver for the New York Giants was drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft with the 12th pick. That same year, Beckham won both the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award and PFWA Rookie of the Year.

8. *Honorable Mention* Maddie Ziegler, 13

You may know this talented dancer from the reality show "Dance Moms," or any of her four appearances in Sia's latest music videos. Now that Ziegler has left the show, she is set to star in a movie directed by Sia entitled "Sisters" which is about the musician's childhood. Ziegler will also be joining the judging panel for "So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation." Talk about accomplishment!

*P.S. I'm obsessed with her

These millennials are an inspiration that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
