QUINN ROCKEFELLER
from wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
quinn rockefeller (born january 3, 1990) is an american socialite and sometimes model, best known as a fifth generation rockefeller, and the great, great granddaughter of john d. rockefeller snr. daughter of the vincent rockefeller and actress, belle st claire, whom both died in a car accident in 1997, she was raised primarily by her aunt peggy rockefeller and controversially inherited her late parents extensive estates. she is often best known for her trade mark, gap tooth smile.
EARLY LIFE
born in bordeaux, france, while her parents were on vacation, quinn was always that most publicized of her cousins, due to her mother's high profile career. she grew up jet setting with her mother, until her parent's death at age 7, until her aunt was granted custody of her and she was raised in new york. along with her cousins, she attended the trinity school and continued to be highly talked about in social pages and page six, despite her family's numerous misgivings.
PERSONAL LIFE
at age 16, quinn was engaged to former womanizer and shipping heir, rafael dalton, who was five years her senior, but after two years of engagement it was called off due to infidelity claims and the two parted ways. she currently attends columbia university, majoring in public relations and marketing and minoring in journalism. she lives on the upper east side, with her silky terrier, ophelia.
CAREER
quinn is the least philanthropic of the extensive rockefeller family, and unlike her cousins, serves of very few boards, but does contribute willingly to a lot of the family's many causes and charities.
at age 18, she graced that cover of elle, with a cover story in regards to her life as the 'hollywood rockefeller', as she is often known for her very publicized life amongst a usually very low key family. following the article, she has modeled several other times for victoria's secret, espirit and guess, and was even in sport's illustrated's 2009 swimsuit issue. she is represented by elite models.
CONTROVERSY
following the death of her parents at age 7, quinn rockefeller inherited both their full fortunes, including her father's share in all the rockefeller estate's and holdings, and her mother's net worth from her time as a successful actress. there was much controversy over a child so young inheriting the fortune and it was largely managed by her aunt who became her guardian, until she reached the age of eighteen.
following the end of quinn's relationship with rafael dalton, there was a much publicized family fall out, where many of the older generations, criticized her approach to the break down of the relationship and her tendency to be in the headlines. her uncle, mark rockefeller, was quoted saying that she was "too much like her flashy mother, all drama and no class." and peggy dulane, the aunt who raised her infamously stated that "her behavior is not that of a true rockefeller."
