Jaden Smith, the son of rapper/actor Will Smith and actress Jada Pinkett Smith, lives a life most people cannot imagine. To him, the world is his oyster, or, as he prefers, his petri dish. “Me and Willow [his younger sister] are scientists,” he told GQ, “so everything for us is a scientific test upon humanity. And luckily we're put in a position where we can affect large groups of human beings at one time.”
He loves to post random and/or provocative things on Twitter just to see if people will react the way he and his sister thought they would.

More of a social impact. Helping people. But through art installations. It'll be like, ‘This just happened that helped a bunch of people over here. We don't know who did it, but these symbols and things were left around, so we can only guess that it's Jaden and the squad.’ You know what I'm saying? So I'm just dedicating my whole life to helping the world.”
You could say Jaden has his head in the clouds, but he has already made more money, been more places, met more influential people, and possesses more opportunity than 99 percent of America. Whose to say the rest of his dreams won't come
