John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr., was the youngest child and the only son of US President John F. Kennedy. Born just two weeks after his father was elected President of the United States and losing him when he was three days short of his third birthday, his life was full of twists, turns, and gossip that often accompanies children of famous people. Despite being born in a politically powerful and rich family and having a privileged upbringing, he never took anything in his life for granted and worked hard towards finding a niche for himself in society. He worked as a lawyer, journalist, and a magazine publisher and was a favourite subject for the paparazzi and popular media due to his lineage, good looks, and risk prone lifestyle. Like his father before him, and his uncle, he also met with an untimely death and was mourned by common citizens, celebrities, and politicians alike.
