Anna Nicole Smith daughter facing the same fate as her mom?

OHMYGOSSIP — Anna Nicole Smith‘s daughter Dannielynn is in line for a $49 million payday — and pals are worried sick. Those close to the little girl fear the newfound fortune could ultimately destroy her.

Sources say they’re scared that a huge court judgment in the 6-year-old’s favor could propel her down the same destructive path that led to the death of her hard-partying, beauty-queen mom at age 39.

“Dannielynn is ALREADY spoiled,” a source said. “She has closets filled with hundreds of dresses and shoes, and her dad buys her everything she wants. The new pile of money could spell doom.

Dannielynn and her father Larry Birkhead have been in the center of a nasty legal battle over the estate of Anna Nicole’s late husband, billionaire J. Howard Marshall II, who died only a year into their marriage.

In late May, a federal judge blasted the estate of Marshall’s deceased son, Pierce, for using underhanded legal tactics, and awarded damages to Dannielynn.

The judge has not yet set an amount, but legal sources predict she’ll rake in $49 million or more.

“It’s actually terrifying,” said the source. “This new pile of money will catapult Dannielynn from being well-off to super-rich. People around her need to remember she may have the same genetic predisposition to alcoholism and drug addiction that killed her mother.

“Once she’s older and gets control of the money, she may run wild with it. On the surface, this win looks like a blessing from heaven, but it could someday lead her into the hell of addiction.”
