Which parent wants his child to live in need and poverty? Of course, no parent in the world wants such a fate for their child. But what about those people who do not need to put off for years to inherit? Celebrities and simply wealthy people open trust funds.
But not all parents are ready to provide their children a comfortable life, where they do not have to work. Some celebrities rob their children of their inheritance. Or leave them very small amounts of money. And this approach is very correct. If the child knows that he is already well off and he does not need to do anything for this, he will grow up spoiled and spend his whole life spending money. Among the famous children there are a lot of such examples. And therefore, many stars want to protect their children from the evil influence of big money, which they got in a simple way.
