Never got this mentality, whats the point of having money if you not gonna enjoy it with your friends and family?

Many people like to be able to hold wealth and status over other peoples heads. No point in having all that if everyone around you is broke IMO. Overall this is a bunch of nonsense and all these sociopaths need to be taxed to hell and back.

I respect what he's trying to do.

I also don't believe him.

No way he'll let his kids or grandkids be back in Newark

They don’t have any code. You stay saying the most ignorant stupidest shyt for a reaction

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, had announced via a Facebook post way back in 2015, immediately after the birth of their first child, that they will be donating 99% of their fortune to charity. The post was addressed to their first child, and it read, "We want you to grow up in a world better than ours today. We will do our part to make this happen, not only because we love you, but also because we have a moral responsibility to all children in the next generation."

Here's Why Warren Buffett Won't Leave All His Billions To His Kids: 'It's Harmful'

Actor Mila Kunis and her actor and venture capitalist husband Ashton Kutcher have made it clear to their kids that they aren't getting a slice of the million dollar pie. In a podcast hosted by Dax Shepard, Kutcher revealed, "My kids are living a really privileged life, and they don’t even know it. And they’ll never know it because this is the only one that they’ll know. I’m not setting up a trust for them. We’ll end up giving our money away to charity and to various things."


Daniel Craig says he won't leave his children an inheritance, thinks it's 'quite distasteful'

Simon Cowell says his child won't inherit his fortune because he will give it away
All of those people are new money. None of those people are baby boomers but carry on

picture me working like a mufukka my whole life to leave my money to some charity where the CEO's pay themselves big salaries and go buy houses and put their kids thru school with the money and the rest of the money disappears in "administrative costs."

if your kids aren't prepared to take what you've built and then build on that that speaks directly to the shyt job you've done as a parent.

EDIT

and what's worse i was watching an interview yesterday where they were talking about how Kobe told Shaq that if he'd had Kobe's work ethic when they were both with the Lakers they would've won 6 rings instead of 3. So it wasn't like a was just a hungry 7ft nikka with a work ethic on top of it like Kobe or MJ. Shaq was born with a winning lottery ticket and wants to act like he's EF Hutton or somebody. lol shyt trips me the fukk out.

this.

Me and my old lady say the same shyt. WE got bread. Yall gotta earn it. And we show many ways to do so. Also teach them financial literacy and expose them to diff shyt.

With that being said, we show them and make them understand that we will support anything they show a passion for and make it happen to the best of our ability.

They will be left property and shyt like that as well when we pass too.


This is the same with me.

I understand perfectly what Shaq means.

I have two sayings for my kids.

1. You might want what it looks like, but can you deal with or overcome what it feels like.
2. Success only comes before work in the dictionary.

There is a significance in the lessons learned in the struggle and it is damn near impossible to replicate those for your kids. All you can do is try to make them as well adjusted as possible. Chances are, the best person for your business to succeed you is probably not your kid. The odds are against that being the case. I mean, look at sports.

LA Lakers: Dr. Buss built his empire from the ground up. Now with his offspring? The City of Los Angeles and the allure Dr. Buss built with the Lakers is what sells that team. If they were in San Diego, they'd be regional like the Padres are.
NY Yankees: Another franchise where the location and the history of the team sells itself.

To the failures.

Oakland-LA-LV Raiders
From Al Davis to Mark Davis. Al was a fukkin G, Mark Davis gets swallowed up by his father's shadow while being the only senior citizen I know with the chili bowl haircut.

NY Rangers & Knicks
Charles Dolan to James Dolan. To his credit, he's gotten out of the way lately. However, in 1993, he was in drug rehab. In 1999, he was officially running the Knicks/Rangers. That doesn't happen without nepotism

My god-awful Detroit Lions.
Henry Ford to the latest boob, Sheila Ford Hemp.

This is her bio

The Official Site of the Detroit Lions

She's never had a fukking job in her life and she's in her 60s.

Before her, it was her mother, Martha Firestone Ford. The scion of both Firestone and Ford cars. She never worked either!

All I'm saying is this. It's great to give your kids all the help they can receive, put life on easy mode for the kids but at some point in time, they still need to perform. No way in hell would I put my kids in charge of a business if they haven't shown the acumen and mental maturity to lead. You have people's lives in your hands when you are in charge of a company. It's not about just you. It's why I never knock CEOs and their pay, your decisions reverberate across a company and in some situations, around an industry. Heavy is the head that wears the crown and the crown should not be given on a whim. My footsteps are present for all my kids to see. However, their feet just might not be my size. If they aren't, blaze your own path. I'll assist, but you'll earn everything, nothing will be given.
