Are there any living decendants of the Medici family...?

Question

you know the Medici's, very popular during the Renaissance. I looked up their family tree and believe to have found that they died off, didn't produce any heirs (kkay so their not exactly royalty, but that the closest thing i could categorize them as).
But is it possible that this is false. That maybe there are some decendants living today? What do you know?

Answer 1

Yes. My next-door neighbor is a Medici. There's millions of them actually. The Medici's were a large family when they controlled the Roman Papacy, and over several hundred years, they've gotten so big that they just kinda blend in. There's a big population of Medici's in New Jersey.

Answer 2

There are descendants on the female line

Medici descendants of Clarice Orsini and Lorenzo the Magnificent ruled Florence, and Tuscany until 1737. This family also produced two queens (and regents) of France - the famed Catherine de’ Medici, a great-niece of Pope Leo X, wife of Henry II and mother of French Kings Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III; and Marie de’ Medici, granddaughter of Cosimo I, Grand Duke of Tuscany (a second cousin of Catherine and great-nephew of Leo X) and wife of the first Bourbon French king, Henry IV. Many later Catholic European sovereigns are descended from these two queens, and many later Protestant sovereigns, plus many English peers and gentry, are descended from sisters of Henry VIII (and granddaughters of Queen Elizabeth Woodville). But “Bad King John” and Orsinis of Rome are ancestors not only of the English Tudors, Florentine Medicis, later European sovereigns, and English and Italian noblemen. Another major ruling family of Renaissance Italy and over 15 colonial immigrants who left American descendants share this line as well.
