The Surprising Reason Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s Kids Won’t Inherit Their $275 Million Fortune

Imagine being so wealthy that your kids could basically skip the whole job interview awkward phase—and yet, choosing to toss them into the deep end anyway. That’s exactly what Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are doing, pulling off a parenting move that’s part tough love, part social experiment, and a dash of “we’re not raising brats, thank you very much” energy . As someone who’s spent more time than I care to admit elbow-deep in digital culture and celebrity quirks, I can’t help but ask: If your parents sat atop a $275 million mountain, would you really forgive them for making you build your own ladder? Anyway, the Kutchers are passing on generational hustle instead of generational wealth—no trust funds, no wild Christmas bonanzas, just the faint hope of a startup investment… if the business plan is up to scratch . There’s something downright refreshing—and hilariously ruthless—about it, don’t you think? Are we witnessing the birth of a brand-new celebrity parenting prototype, or just another ambitious attempt to keep their kids from joining the Hollywood entitlement parade? Let’s poke around this unusual inheritance strategy and see what’s really at stake . LEARN MORE

Despite Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher both reportedly being worth a fortune, their two kids aren’t set to reap the benefits of it.

The celebrity couple, who got together nearly 15 years after co-starring on That ’70s Show, are believed to be worth a tasty $275million combined.

You don’t have to be good at maths to work out that their offspring – daughter Wyatt Isabelle, 10, and son Dimitri Portwood, 8 – don’t necessarily need to work a day in their lives.

Unfortunately for those two youngsters though, they will need to hand out their CVs at some point, as their parents want them to forge their own paths in life.

Kutcher has supposedly banked a whopping $200 million throughout his lengthy career in showbiz, while Kunis has acquired a $75 million fortune, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

But the Hollywood stars have said that both Wyatt and Dimitri won’t be getting their hands on it, as they aren’t keen on the idea of their kids living off a trust fund.

Back in 2018, father-of-two Kutcher sat down for an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast and ended up discussing why he doesn’t want to pass on his ridiculous wealth to his children.

The Punk’d star, 47, explained that instead, he and Kunis intend to donate their money to charity, and ‘various’ other causes.

However, there is one way that Wyatt and Dimitri could get a bail out from their ridiculously rich parents – impressing them with their entrepreneurial spirit.

“If my kids want to start a business, and they have a good business plan, I’ll invest in it,” Kutcher said. “But they’re not getting trusts.”

Luckily, Kunis is on the same page as her spouse, who she got hitched to back in 2015.

The Friends With Benefits actress, 41, explained her main priority as a mother is that Wyatt and Dimitri don’t turn out like ‘a**holes.’

“We’re not gonna raise assholes,” she told Elle UK in 2017. “There’s enough assholes in this world! We don’t need to contribute. But, you know, there’s some nice people.”

Kunis also went on to reveal that her and Kutcher hadn’t bought her children lavish gifts over the Christmas period, as they were so young.

“We’re instituting [no presents] this year because when the kids are [younger than] one, it doesn’t really matter,” she explained.

“Last year when we celebrated Christmas, Wyatt was two, and it was too much. We didn’t give her anything – it was the grandparents.

“The kid no longer appreciates the one gift. They don’t even know what they’re expecting; they’re just expecting stuff. We’ve told our parents, ‘We’re begging you – if you have to give her something, pick one gift.

“‘Otherwise, we’d like to take a charitable donation, to the Children’s Hospital or a pet [or] whatever you want.'”

Needless to say, there will be no spoiled brats emerging from the Kulis-Kutcher household, that’s for sure.
