According to an interview with the Gordon Ramsay, his three children won’t be sharing much in the chef’s fifty four million dollars wealth once he’s gone. “It’s definitely not going to them, and that’s not in a mean way; it’s to not spoil them,” he explained. The remark sparked(引发) headlines(头条) around the world, but Ramsay isn’t the only celebrity(名人) multimillionaires(千万富翁) to have elected against leaving a pile of cash to his progeny(子孙).

The perfect amount to leave your children, billionaire Warren Buffet famously said in the 1980s, is “enough money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing.” He’s reportedly doing just that, leaving a small amount of his $70 billion wealth to his three grown-up children. The rest will go to charity.

Like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates is not going to be giving his￡70 billion fortune to his children. Or not all of it, anyway. “Our kids will receive a great education and some money so they are never going to be poorly off, but they’ll go out and have their own career,” he said last year. “It’s not a favor to kids to have them have huge sums of wealth. It distorts(扭曲) anything they might do, creating their own path. The money is used for helping the poorest. They know that, they are proud of that, they go on trips with us and see the work that’s being done.”
