The ANTI-nepo babies! All the celebrities who have cut their kids off ... trends now

It's no secret that nepo babies have popped up all over Hollywood recently, with a slew of celebrity offspring benefiting from their famous parents connections and getting a leg up in the movie, modeling, and music industries.

But some A-listers have worked tirelessly to ensure the opposite for their kids - revealing that they will not be giving them any of their massive fortunes and forcing them to make their own livings.

Take Jeff Goldblum, for example. The acclaimed actor, who is worth roughly $40 million, recently admitted that he was going to cut his children off financially when they get older.

And he's not the only one. In fact, many stars have been open about their attempts to teach their kids that money doesn't grow on trees over the years.

Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar once revealed that she charged her daughter for milk after she noticed her wasting a lot of the beverage, and acclaimed chef Gordon Ramsay has said that he forces his kids to sit in economy class while he buys himself a first class ticket - since 'they haven't worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that.'

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has stated that he always tells his kids that they're not rich, he is - and that he asks them to form a detailed plan about how the funds will be used if they ever ask him for money for something. 

In addition, stars like Anderson Cooper, Daniel Craig, Elton John, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, and Simon Cowell have all revealed that they will not leave their multi-million dollar trusts to their offspring.

Even some of the world's top business moguls like Bill Gates and Melinda Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, and Steve Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs have vowed that their children will not inherit their immense wealth.

In the midst of Jeff's admission, take a look at all of the celebrities who have made it clear that they're not spoiling their children despite having millions in the bank.

Jeff Goldblum

Jeff, 71, explained on a recent appearance on Bruce Bozzi's podcast Table for Two that he has no plans to let his two sons, Charlie, eight, and River, six - whom he shares with his wife, dancer Emilie Livingston - live off his earnings when they're older.

The Jurassic Park alum - who has an estimated net worth of $40 million - said he is determined to teach the youngsters that they have to 'row their own boats.'

'It's an important thing to teach kids. I'm not going to do it for you. And you're not going to want me to do it for you,' said the actor.

'You've got to figure out how to find out what's wanted and needed and where that intersects with your love and passion and what you can do. And even if it doesn't, you might have to do that anyway.' 

Gordon Ramsay 

Gordon, 57, has built a massive food empire and earned an immense fortune along the way - but he revealed in 2017 that his money won't go to his kids when he passes away.

The acclaimed chef and TV star, whose net worth is estimated to be around $220 million, previously explained to Telegraph, 'I've never been really turned on about the money.

'That's not my number one objective, and that's reflected in the way the kids are brought up.

'[My fortune is] definitely not going to them, and that's not in a mean way, it's to not spoil them.' 

Gordon has six kids with his wife Tana Hutcheson - Megan, 25, Holly, 24, Jack, 24, Tilly, 22, Oscar, five, Jesse, six months. 

He told the publication that he hardly ever brings his kids to his Michelin-starred restaurant - and that he even forces them to sit in economy while he and Tana buy first class seats when they travel as a family. 

'They don't sit with us in first class. They haven't worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that,' he added.

'At that age, at that size, you're telling me they need to sit in first class? No, they do not. We're really strict on that.'

Earlier this year, he also dished on how he taught his kids to save their money during an episode of the show Last Meals. 

He explained that he gives them a monthly allowance - and matches whatever they have left of it at the end of the year.

'Every month, [they get] a couple hundred dollars, and if they save that up across the 12-month period, I match that at Christmas for them,' he said.

'When you start that practice at sort [of a young age]... all of a sudden their minds are focused on their career paths. They are super disciplined and they are on it, man.'

Bill and Melinda Gates

Despite being one of the richest business moguls on the planet, Microsoft founder Bill, 68 - who has a whopping net worth of $128 billion - has voiced his fears over his kids becoming 'distorted' over 'wealth' on numerous occasions. 

He and ex-wife Melinda, 59, have continuously insisted that they are working hard to ensure that their kids 'create their own path.' 

While raising their children, the former couple - who split in May 2021 after 27 years of marriage - did their best to give their three kids Jennifer, 28, Rory, 24 and Phoebe, 21, a normal childhood. 

They made them do chores and split the household work as evenly as possible, while tech mogul Bill has even admitted that he was a stickler about screen time - and didn't allow his kids to have phones until they were age 14. 

Back in 2017, he vowed to use his immense fortune to 'help the poor' rather than his own children.

'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 explained to "This Morning.

'It's not a favor to kids to have them have huge sums of wealth. It distorts anything they might do, creating their own path.

'This money is dedicated to helping the poorest. They know that, they are proud of that, they go on trips with us to see the work that's being done.'

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah, 47, has been outspoken about how she has raised her two kids to not take anything for granted.

The actress, who is worth roughly $30 million, has a daughter, named Charlotte, 14, and a son, named Rocky, 11, with husband Freddie Prinze Jr. 

Back in 2017, she told the Today show that she doesn't believe in allowances - and even revealed that she had started charging her young daughter for milk.

'I don't love the idea of giving them money to do chores that they should do anyway,' she explained.

'My daughter was doing this thing lately where she was asking me for a cup of milk and not drinking it. 

'So I told her that every time she'd ask me for a cup of milk and not drink it, I would take a quarter out of her piggy bank. Someone has to pay for that milk.'

Last year, she also dished on the importance of teaching kids about money after she partnered with Fidelity.

She said she started talking to her children about finances and saving as young as five years old. 

'We want them to understand certain things, especially because Freddie and I grew up differently than they did,' she dished.

'We both had single parents and lived paycheck to paycheck - and sometimes didn't get that paycheck.

'Their life is different, and so we want them to have an appreciation for things and understand not everyone is as fortunate.

'We started simple with our kids - we had three mason jars: save, spend and donate. We wanted them to understand what it's like to save up for something.'

Anderson Cooper

Despite receiving a $1.5 million inheritance in 2019, Anderson, 56, revealed in 2021 that he 'doesn't believe in passing on huge amounts of money.'

'I don't intend to have some sort of pot of gold for my [sons],' he explained on Air Mail's Morning Meeting podcast. 

'I'll go with what my parents said, "College will be paid for, and then you gotta get on it."'

The journalist, whose net worth is estimated to be around $200 million, welcomed two sons named Wyatt, four, and Sebastian, two, via surrogate with his ex Benjamin Maisani.

He explained that even though he hailed from the prominent Vanderbilt family, he was taught 'from a very young age' that he would have to work hard and make his own earnings - which 'motivated' him to make a name for himself.

He shared: 'From a very young age, I was very aware of, "This is not me. This is something my mom has," or, "This is money my mom has, but it's not money I'm going to have and I need to forge my own way."'

Daniel Craig

Movie star Daniel, 56, also has no plans to leave his immense earnings to his kids - instead, he wants to 'give it all away.'

The James Bond actor - who has a net worth of $160 million - shares daughter Ella Loudon, 31, with his first wife, Fiona Loudon, and another daughter, whose name has not been shared, six, with current spouse Rachel Weisz. 

He is also the step father to her son, Henry, 17.

'Isn't there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you've failed?' he told Candis magazine last year. 

'I don't want to leave great sums to the next generation.
