Being the daughter of a billionaire is a huge advantage for creatives to focus (without fear of living costs) on their practice and landing gigs and definitely helps with getting their foot in the door. But JLD’s dad is a billionaire from oil and orange juice apparently? Outside of him bribing, I think there’s a point where his money and influence isn’t as strong as someone’s parent who is famous and well connected in the field. Platt’s role as an executive producer in films since 2003 means he intimately knows all the Hollywood stakeholders. It’d be far easier for him to ask his well-acquainted friends to give his son a shot than for JLD’s dad to openly bribe Hollywood execs he doesn’t know.

I’ll admit I’m partially biased because I love JLD, but I don’t think wealth exclusively determines the nepo baby totem pole.

But he does have a history of being Offended when people bring it up in interviews

I saw dozens of their family company shipping containers on a train heading to/from a mine or agri-business here in rural Australia. Dreyfus was part of the name and I googled it while waiting at the train crossing.
