Eighteen years after the tragic death of her mother, Anna Nicole Smith, Dannielynn Birkhead has grown into a young woman under the care of her father, Larry Birkhead.
How She Looks Today
Now 17 years old, Dannielynn bears a striking and famous resemblance to her mother. She has the same bright, charismatic smile, blonde hair, and facial features that vividly recall Anna Nicole Smith in her youth. Larry Birkhead frequently shares photos of her on his social media, and the public often remarks on how much she looks like her mother.
Her Life Today

Living in Kentucky: She lives a relatively private and normal life with her father in Louisville, Kentucky, far from the Hollywood spotlight that defined her early childhood.
-
A Normal Upbringing: Larry Birkhead has been intentional about giving her a stable and grounded upbringing. She attends public school, participates in typical teenage activities, and enjoys a life that is as ordinary as possible given her family’s history.

-
The Famous Trust: The long-standing legal battle over her mother’s estate was finally settled. She is the primary beneficiary of a trust worth an estimated $100+ million, inherited from her mother’s estate and from the settlement with the estate of her mother’s late husband, J. Howard Marshall II. This ensures her financial security for life.
