While most entertainers can barely get their demo tapes into the right hands in order to make them a superstar, a few are born with the blessing (and maybe the curse) of a momager.

Momagers usually do all of the grunt work in the beginning; plus tell their kids how amazing they are even when they may have totally sucked on their last performance! They quit their jobs to hit the road to make sure their offspring isn’t being taken advantage of. Some, of course, are in it for the millions to be made; some are chasing a piece of the spotlight and have dreams of stardom for themselves; some just simply believe they know what’s best for their kid.

Here are six momagers who have made careers out of managing their offspring…and did a pretty good job at it.

  1. Pattie Malette

Pattie was a teenager when she gave birth to her megastar son, Justin Bieber in Ontario, Canada. His legendary story is now one that every kid entertainer hopes for. After winning a local singing contest, Pattie uploaded clips of Justin doing covers of R&B singles. Millions of view later, marketing executive Scooter Braun discovered Biebs. Although Pattie isn’t his only manager, she still keeps a close eye on Justin and will always be his number one cheerleader.
