As the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Jaden lives life a little differently.
He was thrust into the spotlight at a young age — and experiencing fame early on certainly
had its perks.
Now that he's in his twenties, here's Jaden Smith's glamorous life.
With both of Jaden's parents being ultra-famous stars, it only made sense that he would follow
in their footsteps.
Right out the gate, he was well on his way to carving out a stunning career in entertainment
— and that seems to be exactly what his parents intended.
By all accounts, it appeared that Jaden's star turn in 2013's After Earth was supposed
to be his big break.
In a report from TheWrap, a source claimed that Jaden's presence in the film was meant
to catapult the young actor to superstardom.
But a studio marketing exec told the outlet,
"They did a great job of legitimizing [Jaden] as a star without starting a conversation
about why he should be legitimate."
"What was your mistake?
Trusting me?
Depending on me?
Thinking that I could do this?"
While some celebrities shield their children from the spotlight, the Smiths were open to
Jaden experiencing fame early on, so red carpets and high-profile friends became the norm for
their son.
Jaden grew up in some pretty sweet digs.
Will and Jada began building their not-so-humble abode in 2003, and they've resided there ever
since.
The gorgeous mansion near Calabasas, California boasts 25,000-square-feet, and according to
Architectural Digest,
"[It takes] architectural details from the Middle East, Africa, the American Southwest,
and Asia."
Jaden clearly had more than enough room to roam as a kid.
Will and Jada also own the sprawling acres of land that surround their expansive home.
Despite the insanely high cost of property in Los Angeles, the family purchased an additional
150 acres, along with their house, making for a massive estate.When it comes to the
price tag, it's worth an estimated $42 million, according to Hello magazine.
"This is what Christmas is like.
Now we doin' it right.
Ya'll gonna get into the Christmas spirit whether you like it or not."
Still, as lavish as the house is, Jada explained to Architectural Digest,
"For Will and me this home was always a spiritual endeavor.
We're very earthy, organic people.
We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something
that ties back to the land."
It has never been an uncommon occurrence for Jaden to be brushing shoulders with Hollywood's
hottest stars — ever since he was a youngster.
While most kids ended up in an office on "bring your child to work day," Jaden set foot on
blockbuster film sets such as those for the Matrix franchise.
In 2018, mom Jada shared a throwback snap from when Jaden was younger, posting,
"Jaden with me on the set of The Matrix.
I can't believe he's about to be 20."
The franchise starred the likes of Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss — who most kids would
never dream of getting to meet.
But for Jaden, these special moments were presumably frequent thanks to his glamorous
family status — and the high-profile careers of both his mom and dad.
Nothing says glamour more than a whole lotta bling — a commodity Jaden was introduced
to at a young age.
When he was 14 years old, mom Jada took him shopping for an especially lavish gift from
Cartier — and no, it wasn't even his birthday.
According to the Daily Mail, the mother-son duo took a look at a slew of pricey bracelets
during a 2013 outing, with Jaden being especially interested in a gold bangle or watch.
The outlet noted that the two stars left the luxury jewelry store with purchases in hand
and beaming smiles on their faces.
But that New York City shopping adventure was hardly the first time Jada had spoiled
her son.
In fact, according to an interview with Vulture that year, Jaden revealed that those trips
to Cartier were once pretty frequent.
He claimed,
"There was a time in my life when I'd go to Cartier, like, every weekend for like a month."
"Look at all these gold chains I got yesterday."
"Jaden!
Where did you get that from?"
But before his love affair with Cartier began, Jaden noted that he was also a big fan of
Louis Vuitton.
Jaden isn't afraid to drop some serious cash on a pair of shoes.
Need proof?
When he released his 2016 music video for "Fallen," fans couldn't help but notice that
he flashed a pair of Nike Air Mags — one of the most expensive sneakers on the market.
While an exact price point is tough to determine, in the past, the sneaks have sold for upwards
of $200,000.
But the price tag of the highly coveted kicks didn't stop Jaden from getting them dirty
in the video, showing off his best moves in the shoes before proceeding to lay in the
dirt, causing sneakerheads everywhere to cringe.
For most fans, copping a pair of the pricey sneakers would be a dream and they'd likely
stay in mint condition.
But hey, when you have money to burn on a new pair of kicks, you might not mind a little
dirt on your soles.
After getting his driver's license, Jaden wasn't exactly begging dad Will to drive his
car, like most teens would.
Instead, Jaden went out and bought a ride of his own — a Tesla Model X, which, according
to UPI, was estimated to cost $130,000 at the time.
Thanks to Jaden's older half-brother, Trey Smith, fans got a glimpse at the moment the
17-year-old got the keys to his lavish ride.
He posted to Instagram,
"Watching my lil bro get the keys to his first car.
#Priceless."
As if the car wasn't glamorous enough, it turns out Jaden was also one of the first
drivers to ever have access to it.
Jaden got the keys in February 2016, but as UPI reported, the model wasn't available to
the public until months later.
In what became one of his most stand-out ensembles yet, Jaden was seen rocking $5,000 worth of
hair ties in 2016.
His love of fashion has been evident since he was a child — after all, he's been a
model himself.
But his high-priced Cartier hair ties were next level.
Touting a price tag of $1,650 each, Smith wore multiple pieces totaling five grand,
according to GQ.
Jaden sported the look several different times that year, including an appearance on the
red carpet for the New York City premiere for Allegiant.
The actor chose to rock his wildly expensive adornments with a much more casual look.
But as GQ noted, the hair ties were not of the mere scrunchie variety; they were actually
Cartier love rings.
Not only did Jaden get creative by dressing up his dreads, but the fact he casually tossed
a bunch of high-end jewelry into his hair was further proof of his crazy lavish life.
These days, it might seem a little premature for a kid to move out of the house when they're
18, but, then again, Jaden hasn't exactly lived your typical life.
He apparently even toyed with the idea of becoming emancipated from his parents as a
teen.
And while that never actually happened, he still wanted some form of independence, and
moved out of the family home.
Mom Jada revealed details about her son's decision during an episode of her Facebook
show, Red Table Talk, remembering with her son,
"At 15 years old, Jaden, and I remember this day specifically, it's probably one of the
most heartbreaking moments of my life.
You got to a point where you told me straight up, you were like, 'Mom, I have to leave here
to live my life.'"
"As devastated as I was, I was like, 'He's right.'"
Jaden later moved into a five-bedroom home in Hidden Hills, California, with his parents'
approval.
His gorgeous new place was valued around $4 million, according to the Daily Mail.
Not bad for a teen who just wants to live his life.
Growing up as part of the Smith gang certainly comes with some serious perks, including a
standing invite to every envy-inducing family vacation.
In 2018, the Smiths took the trip of a lifetime around the Mediterranean, spending much of
their holiday in Italy, according to Refinery29.
Will and Jada pulled out all the stops for the family, renting out a luxury yacht and
embarking on a picturesque afternoon of scuba diving.
"We really just did that as a family.
That was crazy."
"Ah, can't feel my f****** feet."
Will fit in plenty of dad time with Jaden and his siblings, which included a hike to
an active volcano, and the well-documented trip likely had fans at home following their
every move.
The family cruised around the coast, soaking up the sunshine and making memories.
The Smiths' trip to Italy was by no means your average family vacation, but we wouldn't
expect anything less!
Go big or go home appeared to be the motto for Jaden's 21st birthday bash.
He celebrated his milestone birthday in Malibu, partying it up with his closest friends at
his parents' stunning home on the ocean, according to Billboard.
The Smith family took viewers inside the party with a video to document their son's big day.
True to form, Will cracked a joke about Jaden's previous experience with alcohol, saying of
their so-called first drink together that night:
"The first legal drink, rather than all of the times that you were breaking the law."
But it was the gorgeous ocean view from their seaside mansion and Jaden's multiple birthday
cakes that really grabbed our attention.
After reportedly opting out of having a Sweet 16 birthday party, Jaden definitely made up
for it when celebrating his 21st.
Jaden clearly isn't afraid to go all out.
In 2019, while spending time in Sydney, Australia before a show, he chartered a massive luxury
yacht and set sail with several members of his entourage, according to the Daily Mail.
Despite being just hours away from hitting the stage with Post Malone on his sold-out
Australian tour, Jaden chilled out on the yacht looking perfectly relaxed.
The singer's expensive taste was apparent as he was welcomed on board the "Quantum,"
where he was greeted by attending staff.
Still, despite his glamorous lifestyle, Jaden has claimed that he doesn't particularly value
money and possessions.
In 2016, he told Interview magazine why his happiness isn't tied to the material realm,
explaining,
"A lot of times, people are trying to be happy in the wrong way — with money or with different
things that are not true happiness.
It's leading people down a rabbit hole that actually doesn't exist."
Of course, life might look a little different from the deck of a luxury yacht.
Not only does Jaden get invited to all the hottest runway shows when Fashion Week rolls
around — he gets seated front and center.
In 2019, he sat front row alongside his sister, Willow, to check out Louis Vuitton's latest
womens collection.
It's not a surprise to see famous faces at any fashion show, but Jaden was a VIP, considering
his working relationship with the luxury brand.
In 2016, he was announced a new face of the label, and was tapped for their Spring-Summer
2016 womenswear campaign.
But Jaden doesn't limit himself to a single designer at Fashion Week.
He has also been seen at shows for Hood By Air and Gypsy Sport.
In 2019, Jaden flashed one of his most over-the-top accessories yet.
The actor unveiled a shiny new gold grill in his mouth, which of course came with a
sky-high price tag.
According to MTO News, the sparkling diamonds adorning Jaden's mouthpiece cost him a whopping
$50,000.
The diamond encrusted accessory not only stole the show from the rest of Jaden's look, it
also grabbed a ton of buzz online.
"He literally had to bring a jeweler to the house…And then they took the mold and they
made gold grills."
Twitter had a lot to say about the flashy mouthpiece, and not all of his fans were impressed.
But regardless of any reactions, when it comes to over-the-top bling, Jaden has no problem
showing off the goods.
"I'm going for more of a Dracula look today."
The star seems to be a big fan of the blinged-out grill look; and he's been seen rocking several
sparklers throughout the years.
But back in 2017, he showed off a different kind of bedazzled smile.
According to the Daily Mail, Jaden flaunted a gold-plated grill on his bottom teeth when
he attended an event honoring who else, but Louis Vuitton.
