A look inside the incredible life of Georgina Bloomberg, the heiress to her father's $52 billion empire who once said 'having the last name Bloomberg sucks'

• 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."

Here's a look at her incredible life:

Bloomberg was born on January 20, 1983 to billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg and his then-wife Susan. She has an older sister named Emma. Their parents divorced in 1993, but Emma told The New York Times in 2001 that they shared a friendly relationship.

Bloomberg began riding horses when she was four and entered her first competition at the age of six. As she began to win competition after competition, she bristled when people attributed her success to her famous father.

"It is a little frustrating when you work as hard as you possibly can and people only think you're successful because of your father, which just isn't true," Bloomberg told The Washington Post in 2010. "A lot of people who are that way are jealous."
