Michael Douglass is the only second generation star to come anywhere near his father's Hollywood success/stardom (I am talking first line stars here - which would preclude any Martin Sheen/Charlie Sheen discussions) and Kirk Douglass remains higher in the Hollywood firmament than Michael - it may even be argued that Kirk made more money when adjusted for inflation. It is highly unlikely that Jaden earning capacity will ever approach Will's. ~rave!
