Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Are Getting Dragged Over Resurfaced Reports That They Plan To Give All Their Money To Charity And Leave Nothing For Their Kids

Ashton — who is reportedly worth $200 million — revealed back in 2018 that he and Mila, to help their children learn the value of hard work, won't be leaving them any money.

In case you haven't seen it, the couple are currently being dragged over a resurfaced report that their two children — 8-year-old Wyatt and 6-year-old Dimitri — won’t be inheriting a single dime of their parents’ hefty fortune.

Ashton first talked about this during an interview in 2018 when he told Dax Shepard that he and Mila have no intentions of setting up a trust for their kids. (For context, the couple’s combined net worth is reported to be around $275 million.)

“I’m not setting up a trust for them,” he said at the time. “We’ll end up giving our money away to charity and to various things.”

And while it might sound harsh, it seems there’s pretty legitimate reasoning behind the decision, with Ashton admitting that he wants his children to grow up knowing the value of hard work without being handed anything for free.

“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,” he said.

The actor did go on to say there are exceptions to the rule. Like, for example, if one of his kids came up with a great business idea, he’d be more than happy to lend them some money to get the plan off the ground.

“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,” he said.

Despite making the confession more than five years ago, Ashton and Mila’s financial plan is making headlines once again thanks to a popular Twitter account that reposted their plan earlier this week.

The tweet has amassed more than 100,000 likes — and it’s safe to say that people have a lot of opinions on the matter.

Of course, most people are shocked by the plan, with many pointing out that it could come as a bit of a surprise to the kids once they’re grown up.
