Jeff Goldblum Says He Will Not Leave His Kids Money

Jeff Goldblum is not the first celebrity to announce that his kid’s don’t see any money from him. 

Goldblum said in an appearance on the “Table for Two” podcast this week that his two young sons, who are eight and six years old, will need to find their own path to financial independence.

“It’s an important thing to teach kids,” the 71-year-old said in the interview. “I’m not going to do it for you. And you’re not going to want me to do it for you.”

Goldblum said that he doesn’t want to “scare” his kids by telling them that they’ll need to find their own way in life, but instead encourage them to find something they enjoy doing.

Goldblum isn’t alone in feeling that it’s important to encourage your children to make their own way. Other celebrities, including CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and former “James Bond” actor Daniel Craig, have spoken publicly about the possibility of leaving inheritances for their kids.

Even Warren Buffett, whose fortune sits at more than $130 billion, says there are limits to what even the wealthiest people should leave behind for their kids.
