10 Wealthy Hollywood Celebrity Parents Who Are So Stingy To Their Children – 50 Cent Is The Worst Of Them All

The public often looks at the celebrity world with a huge amount of fascination since the media can portray the rich and famous as living a far more exciting and luxurious life than the rest of the world.

From the red carpet events that show celebrities in all of their glittering best to the lavish vacations that only the rich and famous can take, it seems like there is always something to envy. Yet, not all celebrities choose to use their fortune in the same way and that also goes towards how they raise their children. While there are some celebrities that seem to go above and beyond when it comes to doling out a life of extravagance for their kids, there are others that don’t feel the same way about allowing their children to live in the lap of luxury. On a much smaller scale, this is exactly the same for parents outside of the celebrity world.

While some parents can’t wait to buy their kids the latest designer shoes and throw birthday parties that will be the talk of the Mommy and Me class, there are other parents that force their kids to purchase their toys through their earned allowance through performing chores around the house. This seems to be the equalizer when it comes to comparing the celebrity world with the general public and it’s interesting to see how the rich and famous can be alike with regular parents. Check out our list of the 10 cheapos in the industry

10 Paul McCartney Didn’t Pay For His Daughter’s Education

There are a number of celebrities in Hollywood that have tried to remain grounded when it comes to spending on their kids. Yet, there are some things that almost every celebrity has insisted on splurging on and that’s their education. From putting them in the most elite private schools to donating millions of dollars to Ivy League universities, it seems like this is something that a celebrity would be happy to do for their children. Yet, that isn’t the case for the former Beatles member, Paul McCartney. Despite having accumulated a mass fortune through his role with the Beatles and his solo career, it was reported that he wouldn’t spend a dime for his daughter Stella’s secondary education. She was forced to pay for it herself, even though McCartney has a net worth of an estimated $800 million.

9 Mark Zuckerberg Keeps It Simple

There aren’t many 33-year-olds that can claim to be as successful as Mark Zuckerberg, or have the bank account figures as him. As the founder of Facebook, Zuckerberg has built a fortune that would require generations upon generations to spend. His estimated net worth is $50 billion and that would seem like an amount that would allow him to have the most lavish birthday parties for his children than anyone could ever imagine. Yet, that isn’t the case for Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan. Instead, they’ve taken to social media to post photos of the birthday celebration for their child, Max, and people couldn’t help but notice how low key the event was. Not only was it a far cry from any other celebrity kids’ birthday party but it seemed like just an ordinary cake inside their home.

8 Jude Law Is Definitely Not Father Of The Year

Jude Law is a hugely successful actor that has branched out to be considered far more than just famous in the UK. He’s starred in a number of memorable films throughout his career, from The Talented Mr. Ripley to Cold Mountain. Yet, he hasn’t seemed to have the same sort of success when it comes to his personal life. His union with Sienna Miller was extremely damaging to his public persona due to all of the cheating allegations and he soon became the butt of everyone’s joke when it came to cheating with the nanny. When he famously had a child with Samantha Burke, he wasn’t winning any father of the year awards when it was revealed that the agreement he made was to pay $5,000 a month and would only see his daughter twice a year. It doesn’t look like his daughter will be getting quality time or any shopping sprees with Dad anytime soon.

7 Meryl Streep Raised Her Kids Like Normies

There aren’t any women in Hollywood that can boast the same sort of success that Meryl Streep has had throughout her acting career. While other women seem to be getting pushed out to pasture once they reach a certain age, Streep is consistently getting coveted roles and achieving a huge amount of acclaim from the public and in the entertainment industry. With so many hit films in her roster of roles, there’s no question that Streep has achieved a huge fortune over the years. Yet, she doesn’t seem to be spending it to provide a lavish lifestyle for her kids. On the contrary, Streep has made a number of comments on how she has withheld a lot from her children. In a 2008 interview with Good Housekeeping, she stated, “You can’t get spoiled if you do your own ironing.”

6 50 Cent Didn’t Even Go To His Son’s Grad

Ever since 50 Cent released his first studio album, he’s maintained the persona of being the typical baller when it comes to spending like a rap artist. He’s often seen in his social media posts with piles of cash and he doesn’t hesitate to roll around town in the flashiest cars, sporting diamond chains and watches. Yet, he’s not exactly seen as the most generous person when it comes to his children. In fact, many people have criticized him for his treatment of his son Marquise Jackson since all of their personal issues have played out on the Internet. 50 Cent has claimed to disown his own son and didn’t even attend his high school graduation. While other celebrities have shown off the lavish gifts they’ve bestowed on their children for their graduations, 50 Cent is fine with acknowledging the fact that Marquise didn’t get anything for graduating high school.

5 Angelina Jolie Shops At Target

There was a time when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt seemed like they had it all, as one of the most illustrious couples in Hollywood. While there were still people that remained critical of their relationship because of the fact that he was married to Jennifer Aniston while they started their romance, people seemed to be won over by Jolie’s philanthropy work and the couple’s propensity towards adoption. Yet, it did raise a few eyebrows when the couple started spending lavishly on their children in ways that seemed a little over the top. Forbes reported that the couple was spending $10 million per year on their kids and even spent $7,000 for a private boat for the 7th birthday for their son Pax. Now that the couple has split, it’s no wonder that Angelina has been spotted shopping at Target. It seems like there might not be any money left over for the personal assistants anymore now that reality has started to hit home.

4 Gordon Ramsay Ships His Kids To Economy

Gordon Ramsay is one of the most successful chefs on television since he seems to constantly be featured on various reality shows. Whether he’s taping a season of Hell’s Kitchen, teaching home cooks how to be a real chef or fixing up a hotel, it seems like he’s constantly receiving new income. Yet, that doesn’t mean that he’s willing to blow his entire fortune on his kids. During an interview with The Telegraph, Ramsay spoke out about how his children haven’t earned the right to sit in first class with him and his wife. Instead, he makes them fly in economy class and doesn’t feel bad in the least. During the interview, he was quoted as saying, “Make sure those little ones don’t come anywhere near us, I want to sleep on this plane!”

3 Sarah Jessica Parker Wants To Be Like Her Mom

While other celebrities have been known to treat their kids like miniature rock stars, that definitely isn’t the case with Sarah Jessica Parker. She’s often photographed walking with her kids like any other ordinary mother and you won’t be catching her ordering chauffeur-driven limousines for her kids anytime soon. During a 2016 interview with People magazine, Parker made it clear that she is intending on keeping spending at a minimum when it comes to her children. During the interview, she stated, “I think my mother is sorry that there were things she couldn’t give us, but I work hard to be as depriving to my children as my mother was, meaning I like to withhold things from my children.” She may be fine with spending lavishly on her couture gowns and diamonds but she won’t be doing the same for her kids.

2 Lisa Vanderpump Keeps The Money To Herself

Lisa Vanderpump is considered one of the most successful cast members on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because she has been able to maintain a successful chain of restaurants and lounges. While other women seem to be dependent on their husband’s money, Vanderpump has solidified herself as a formidable individual in business. Yet, that doesn’t mean that she’s willing to spend all of her earnings on her children. In fact, she’s been known to be extremely hard on her kids when it comes to doling out cash. During one infamous episode, Vanderpump claimed that she didn’t care if her son’s electricity was shut off and she refused to pitch in to pay it. Her son, Max, can be seen on episodes of the spin-off series, Vanderpump Rules, and she’s often ordering him around as the busboy and bartender as if he’s just another worker.

1 Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Don’t Spoil Their Kids

The public was absolutely overjoyed to hear that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were finally a romantic couple since they still remembered them from the characters they portrayed on That ’70s Show. Once the couple started to have children, it seemed like all was right with the world. Yet, they had to endure a huge amount of criticism when they started to speak out about how they were going to raise their family. Kunis gave a number of statements about how they were against nannies for their kids and some people felt like it was a criticism against working mothers and all of the millions of people around the world that didn’t have the financial means to just stop working to raise their kids. The couple endured even more criticism when they said that they were not going to be giving their kids any presents, even for birthdays and Christmas.
