Celebrities With The Most Kids, Ranked By How Much The Number Surprised Us
Some celebrities become famous for being great at acting, or for their ability to perform great music. Some are famous for a mixture of these talents and for having numerous children. Indeed, there are a number of celebrities who, either through birth or adoption, have managed to accrue quite a surprising, and sometimes even shocking, number of offspring.

As such, they reveal the many different paths that the children of famous people can take, particularly when they are part of a large family.
