In the past, only actors or musicians who worked their way up the fame ladder could claim the title of "celebrity." However, nowadays, this title has been used in a somewhat easy way. It is given to anyone who can attract enough attention online or appear on a reality TV show. They no longer need talent, knowledge, and effort to be a "celebrity." Therefore, this title is almost no real value any longer and is no longer a seemingly unattainable thing. Thankfully, some still qualify as celebrities, but regrettably, those on this list aren't among them.
These
celebrities below became famous by accident. Fame bumped into them, and they had no option but to accept them. After gaining fame, many of these people have managed to worm their way into the lives of real celebrities. Sometimes they pretend to be actors or musicians, but then nothing.
From Kim Kardashian to Paris Hilton, here are some famous people who rose to fame by nothing.

Federline was very smart to realize dancing would hardly make one famous. So he decided to steal the show, by marrying Britney Spears after abandoning his pregnant fiancée. Despite the fact that he became renowned for no reason, he tried to make a name for himself by dabbling in reality programs, music, and everything else that came along, all of which failed.
#7 Tila Tequila

Another famous celebrity for nothing is Tequila. One thing that makes it difficult to explain how she became so well-known except that she has a large social media following and later made a magazine cover. Tequila became famous for her nude images. Although she plunged into other pursuits, they hardly contributed to the person she is today.
#8 The Duggar Family

To be fair, this family didn’t exactly rise to fame doing nothing. Jim Bob Duggar and his wife Michelle became well-known for giving birth to kids like cheap bottles of wine. The family was brought into the spotlight by a photo of them—which at the time had 13 children. As soon as the family caught the attention of the media, the reality TV "19 Kids and Counting" (formerly "17 Kids and Counting" and "18 Kids and Counting") emerged as an easy path for them to stardom. Then came books and more reality television.
