Other celebrities who have similar views
There are other celebrities as well who also hold similar views. They want their children to earn themselves and not rely on their wealthy parents for money.
Elton John and husband David Furnish said in 2016:
“Of course I want to leave my boys in a very sound financial state, but it’s terrible to give kids a silver spoon. It ruins their life,”
“Listen, the boys live the most incredible lives, they’re not normal kids, and I’m not pretending they are. But you have to have some semblance of normality, some respect for money, some respect for work.”
Simon Cowell in 2013 stated:
“I am going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably — kids and dogs. I don’t believe in passing on from one generation to another.
“Your legacy has to be that hopefully you gave enough people an opportunity, so that they could do well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.”
