Nigeria Actor Jeff Goldblum Sparks Controversy by Refusing to Leave Inheritance to Kids

Actor Jeff Goldblum has sparked controversy by announcing that his children, Charlie (8) and River (6), will not receive any inheritance from him, asserting, "Row your own boat."

Goldblum's decision, revealed during a recent appearance on the iHeartPodcast "Table for Two With Bruce Bozzi," has elicited strong reactions, with some applauding his emphasis on self-sufficiency while others criticize it as neglectful parenting.

Notably, Goldblum's stance mirrors sentiments expressed by other celebrities like Guy Fieri, Marie Osmond, and Mick Jagger, who have also chosen not to leave substantial wealth to their children.

While some argue that such decisions promote independence and resilience, others condemn them as examples of privilege and detachment. The debate underscores broader societal discussions about wealth, inheritance, and parental responsibility in shaping children's futures.
