NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Deacon Phillippe, the second child of Hollywood stars Reese Weatherspoon and Ryan Phillipe, has a net worth of about $5 million, according to allfamousbirthday.com.
The New York University student is now in the center of a 'nepo baby' backlash after he let TikTok star Caleb Simpson shoot and upload a walk-through video of his swanky college apartment in New York City on November 9.

Deacon Phillippe claims he pays 'West Village prices' for his apartment
Deacon was seen on video holding an expensive Perrier water bottle during the tour. When Simpson asked him how much the place cost, the host coyly replied that he pays “West Village prices” for the apartment.
According to Page Six, it is apparent that the holding with spacious rooms, high ceilings, and a unique spiral staircase goes for a pretty high price.
The audience was not happy at the lack of transparency the 20-year-old showed when he avoided putting a price tag on the gorgeous apartment.
“How much do you pay? The correct answer is: ask my mom and dad,” stated a disappointed viewer.
“West village prices aka Mom and Dad are paying rent,” wrote another.
Deacon Phillippe slammed as 'nepo baby'
In the comments section of the TikTok video, many viewers attacked Phillipe for showing off his inherited wealthy lifestyle.
“Rich kids / nepo babies LOVE to avoid mentioning their extremely wealthy parents,” one viewer wrote.
Referring to Phillippe's actor parents, another stated, "Let’s not forget that his mom and dad are wealthy celebrities. He could afford the whole place if he wanted to!”
“Occupation: nepo baby,” jibed a third, while another mentioned, "The trust fund baby life.”
'Impressed he has roommates'
However, not everyone disparaged the aspiring musician.
A supporter wrote in the comment section, "Impressed he has roommates. Rack up those experience points!”
“Chill and laid back young man!” a second user wrote.
A third came to Phillippe's defense, writing, “(He’s) not a regular college student … he can get any apartment he wants. Even so he got roommates he looks chill.”
Phillippe showed off his bedroom which also doubles as a studio near the end of the video.
“I sing and play a little bit of keyboard but I mostly make music on my computer,” he explained before proceeding to show off one of his projects.
