You might expect every celebrity to leave their fortune to their kids as part of their inheritance, but actually, there’s a handful of celebs who have vowed not to leave their wealth to their children.These days, celebrity kids are often criticised for being ‘nepo babies’, meaning they get a helping hand with their careers, due to benefitting from their parents’ connections and unlimited wealth.It seems that while some celebs are happy to help their kids in whatever way they can, others would rather they made their own way themselves, in a bid to become more independent and self-sufficient.There are a number of celebrities who have in the past spoken openly about this, including the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Ashton Kutcher.
Here’s what they had to say…Jagger has explained that he might leave his huge wealth to charity, explaining his kids don’t need hundreds of millions of dollars to live well.Jagger is dad to eight – Karis, 55, Jade, 53, Elizabeth, 42, James, 40, Georgia May, 34, James, 40, Gabriel, 28 and Lucas, 26. He welcomed his youngest don, Deveraux, eight, with girlfriend Melanie Hamrick in 2016.”The children don’t need $500 million to live well,” he told The Wall Street Journal. “Come on.” Instead he hoped to ‘do some good in the world’ by potentially leaving his millions to charitable causes.Gates has three children – Jennifer, 30, Phoebe, 23 and Rory, 26 – with his ex-wife Melinda French Gates. And while he explained that his kids have had a ‘great upbringing and education’, he told the Figuring Out With Raj Shamani podcast that they had ‘less than 1 percent of the total wealth because I decided it wouldn’t be a favor to them.’
