15 Famous Folks Who Are Basically Running A Daycare

Some people run empires, some people run marathons, and some people run full-time daycare with a celebrity budget. The names on this list look like they belong on a billboard, but their real day-to-day job description is basically: parent, schedule wrangler, and referee of sibling chaos.

Take Shaquille O’Neal, juggling five kids across different chapters, including his stepson Myles. Or Mick Jagger, whose eight children span a ridiculous age range, from a tiny 5-year-old to a 51-year-old. Then add the double-duty households like James and Kimberly Van Der Beek with six kids, plus Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt mixing biological and adopted children before their split.

By the time you reach Kris Jenner, you realize this is not a normal family size situation, it’s a whole operation.
