I can understand why some celebrities leave little to nothing to their children. A lot of celebrity children today are spoiled. Children have to learn how to live independently and not always rely on their parents.

[jamesmendonca]

I am not going to lie. Some of these celebrities have the right ideas. I do respect parents who raise their kids by not spoiling them. Also, I believe reputation is mostly the root of nepotism.

Alot of people are just assuming that these celebrities' children would automatically become selfish and greedy if they received an inheritance (if there not already selfish) when that may not be the case. I myself was extremely spoiled when I was a kid but my folks still taught me good values and the importance of working hard. There's nothing wrong with making sure your children are taken care of after you're gone, especially if you were an actual parent and taught them the right things.

Kids are better off thinking they won't be getting a lump sum when their parents die.

[Akil]

Jackie Chan on this list was NOT a surprise. He almost seems to hate his kids.

[dasanji]

When my parents get old, I hope they're not expecting me to take care of them after making my life a living hell.

[soloflight]

When i depart this world, everything that i own will be given to my kids, they are my everything, and i worked so hard to give them a better future

[CandiceVidito]

Rich celebrities that leave nothing for their kids are just plain greedy/ selfish

[jeremyi]

You would have to be a pretty terrible person to not share with your family, especially after they are gone. Another thing is the amount of resources you have access to when your younger will almost always shape your overall path.

Jeff Goldblum didn’t seem to say anything specific about leaving his kids money when he dies. He was vague about the situation

[charleslewis]

What ANYONE decides to leave their children in their will is their business. I don't give a damn. Why would you?

[ihearttoronto]

I can understand if the children are ungrateful and use them, but that's kinda crappy to do.

[applejuicejunkie]

It's a shame to make that kind of money and not give it to your kids so they won't have to struggle. I can tell you, I was sort of spoiled growing up, but I still work every day and have my own aspirations. If I was rich, I'd leave everything to my kids especially if they aren't addicts or criminals, but just normal people.

[HS-rnmk]

It runs in the family when you expect nothing from your children not even love and affection. Same way their parents didn’t receive any from their parents and so on.

These people will find themselves alone in death bed not even their family by their side as they didn’t care for their family and their family wont care for them.

A sad life indeed

[MushfiqurRahmanShovon]

I can finally understand why American people don't want to take care of their Parents when they get old.

[joseortiz]

If you brought spoiled kids well, why did you bring them in the first place?😠

[PerfectlyImperfect]

Considering how many celebrities spoil the hell out of their kids, respect. I agree that just because the parent is rich they shouldn’t support their kids their whole lives. Find a career and go with that 😂

[Burgers_Pizza]

Well, they know what they are doing, cause inheritance is taxable, while charity is tax-deductible. If you wanna cripple your kids in today's economy, leave them a large inheritance.

[sydneyaparker]

Loving this idea for the redistribution of wealth. Doesn't mean their children aren't very, very well positioned to earn as much if not more than their parents.

[FeralFoodieGuy]

So these parents worked hard to build their wealth, just to turn around and give it to strangers instead of their own kids? That’s not ‘teaching life lessons’; that’s abandoning your family! Why bother building a legacy if you're not passing it down? These kids should be given the resources to succeed, not thrown into the deep end just to ‘prove themselves.’ Absolutely ridiculous.
