We often see celebrity kids as the luckiest people in the world, because their parents, being who they are, already have everything they will ever need, which means they don't have to work for their money.
People also think all these kids are spoiled brats, however these stereotypes are not true, as there are many celebrities who make their children work to get their paycheck rather than living off their parents for the rest of their lives. In Jaden Smith's case, he enjoys working for his paycheck.
Read below for more details.

It was obvious that he would become a star just like his parents, and he has starred in several other films since then. Jaden also has an amazing singing career that has been going well.
Jaden Smith's 'Just Water'

Currently, he owns a company which deals with the produce of spring water, and it's called “Just Water.”
He began this business in 2015, where he decided to promote the idea of using cartons instead of plastic for water. This thought came after he saw plastic bottles in the water while he surfed.
He felt there was a need for change, and with the help of his parents, he was able to launch his business in 2015. The company has attained a considerable amount of success in that short time.

He also attended the company's shoe school which is located at Skowhegan, Maine training facility. There, he was taught the importance of hand production, which ensures the company's signature look remains intact. Jaden was then able to create his set of 'New Balance Racers.'
During an interview with Complex, he spoke about how happy he was to give back to the community, by making his shoes from materials that would generally have been discarded.
Will And Jada's Parenting Style! A Yay or Nah?
Will and Jada have proved to be awesome and flexible parents in the way they have raised their children, who both have one thing or another going for them.
Jada once explained her children working efforts at a young age, by saying;
“As much as people got on me in regards to having them work early, I did not want them to grow up thinking that because they were in the midst of affluence that they did not have to grind or work hard on their own.”
The two adorable lovers have really done a good job in raising their children not to be entitled to their wealth, but learn to stand on their own.
