• Georgina Bloomberg is the second daughter of former New York City Mayor and media mogul Michael Bloomberg.

• She is an elite equestrian, who's raked in thousands of dollars in prize money and has bounced back from breaking her back twice.

Bloomberg is also a published novelist, with a degree from New York University.


Georgina Bloomberg was ranked one of Forbes' "most intriguing billionaire heiresses" back in 2007.

That's not surprising. The 34-year-old equestrian, novelist, and animal rights activist has pursued a number of careers over the years.

She's the daughter of one of the richest men in the world. Her father Michael Bloomberg is worth $52 billion, according to Forbes.

But she hasn't always expressed delight about her privileged upbringing. She even admitted that "having the last name Bloomberg sucks" in the 2003 documentary "Born Rich."

Years later, Bloomberg told Town and Country she'd never say that today.

"I've come to have a lot more respect for my parents and my last name and everything that my father has done and how hard he worked to provide a great life for us," she said. "It's a last name that now I'm proud of."
