Jack Schlossberg
Grandson of John F. Kennedy
The 20-year-old son of Caroline Kennedy and Ed Schlossberg is by all accounts being primed and positioned by his mother — the defacto head of the family since Ted Kennedy's passing — to be the new Kennedy leader. He stated publicly that he plans to go into politics after he graduates from Yale University. Recently he's been making forays into public speaking, including at the recent John F. Kennedy New Frontier Awards ceremony at Harvard University. (Reuters)

The young generation of America's most fabled family, the Kennedys, is coming out of the woodwork these days. "Know what?"  Robert Kennedy, Jr. said at a 2011 fundraiser. "There are 85 cousins in the fourth generation. About half of them say they’re going to go into politics. So, I think that there's like a tsunami coming." No kidding! Some of the newbies are more high profile than others, like the dreamy Conor Kennedy, who dated Taylor Swift while he was still in high school. Regardless of age from teens to early 30s, all of them possess the best and brightest features that make Kennedys, well, Kennedys. — Charlotte Rudge, Shine Staff
