Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are once again at the center of the social media debate after their comment that they will not share their fortune with their kids has gone viral. People are mostly divided over these comments with some not agreeing with the celebrity couple for not sharing their wealth with their kids while others praising them for fighting nepotism for a cause.
Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Won't Be Leaving Any Of Their Fortune To Their Kids
If you are born in a family of actors or anywhere linked to Hollywood then you think that the nepotism babies have their life paths paved for them.
But you might be wrong about this as actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher's children aren't set to receive a single penny of their fortune once the actors have departed this world.
There has been an intense social media debate over comments made by the actor Kutcher which revealed the couple's two kids won't be getting their hands on any of their $275 million (£222m) fortune.
Kutcher revealed his and Kunis' plans for their children a few years ago on the Dax Shepard podcast, with the actor saying:
"I'm not setting up a trust for them. We'll end up giving our money away to charity and to various things."
The reason behind Kutcher and Kunis' decision? Because their children already live a 'really privileged life' and 'don't even know it'.
"And they'll never know it because this is the only one that they'll know,"
Kutcher continued.
However, even though the couple won't be setting up any trust fund for their kids but that does not mean they won't be giving any money to their kids.
Kutcher explained:
"If my kids want to start a business, and they have a good business plan, I'll invest in it. But they're not getting trusts."
Kutcher and Kunis' celebrity parenting stance has been long under debate on social media with many users have also lauded the celebrity couple for their parenting style and their idea of not sharing their fortune with their kids.
One Twitter user said:
"It's fine, just because they're the children of a famous couple, they will have opportunities a little easier than the others."
A second wrote:
"Way to fight nepotism for a cause guys,"
Another commented:
"I think they have a lot of faith in their children and have seen what happens to other families."
While a fourth added:
"It’s not like they won’t still have money. They just want their kids to work for it like they did. I totally get it."
However, others have been left fairly outraged by the actors' decision, with one saying:
"Why just your kids? Give it away right now so you don't spoil yourself either."
"Coming from someone who’s family has no money to pass down and I to raw dog life in THIS economy… at lease save them 10k or something damn,"
another said.
A third commented:
"I think it’s so weird when parents choose to do this. Especially, when their kids are still young. I can understand if there’s a reason (like having Hunter Biden for a kid), but to not leave your children ANYTHING seems cruel to me."
And a final resolved:
"I would hate being their nepo baby."
