Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis Opt to Donate Wealth Instead of Leaving Inheritances to Children

Hollywood’s renowned couple, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, have made a unique decision regarding their vast fortunes.

Despite being worth millions, the duo has no intentions of setting up trust funds for their offspring.

The esteemed movie stars, who tied the knot in 2015, are parents to two kids: Wyatt Elizabeth Kutcher, aged eight, and Dimitri Portwood Kutcher, aged six.

With an impressive acting portfolio including hits like That ‘70s Show, Friends with Benefits, and No Strings Attached, the pair has amassed substantial wealth over the years.

Reports suggest that the combined net worth of Kunis and Kutcher stands at a staggering $275 million (£220 million).

Rather than allowing their children to inherit this wealth, they have decided to give it away to charitable causes.

During a candid conversation on actor Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert, Kutcher shared his perspective on the matter.

He expressed, “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.

I’m not setting up a trust for them.

We’ll end up giving our money away to charity and to various things.”

Furthermore, Kutcher emphasized that if his children show entrepreneurial aspirations and present solid business ideas, he would be willing to invest in their ventures.

However, the idea of creating trusts for them is not part of their financial plan.

Apart from imparting important life lessons to their kids, Kutcher and Kunis aim to allocate a significant portion of their wealth to charitable organizations, particularly those involved in combating s** trafficking – a cause close to Kutcher’s heart.

This decision aligns with their previous approach to parenting, as evidenced by reports last year that they had reportedly ‘banned’ Christmas presents for their children.

Kunis clarified these misconceptions, stating, “No, we don’t ban presents for our kids.

This story was taken… out of [context].”

She emphasized the value of instilling a sense of desire and earning in their children, rather than fostering a culture of entitlement.

Reflecting on past experiences, where excessive gifts were given to their daughter, Wyatt, during Christmas, the couple now encourages a more modest and meaningful gift-giving tradition.

In light of this, they have requested their parents to limit gifts to one per child or opt for charitable donations instead.

By promoting gratitude and philanthropy within their family, Kutcher and Kunis are setting a powerful example for their children and the community at large.
