Marie Osmond Makes Headlines: Why Her Children Won’t Inherit Her Fortune — Plus, a $2 Million Car Without a Roof?
In a bold and thought-provoking revelation, Marie Osmond recently confirmed she has no plans to leave any of her multi-million-dollar fortune to her seven children. The beloved entertainer and philanthropist, known for her long career in music and television, stated that she believes giving her children a large inheritance would be a “disservice” to them. Instead, she wants them to work for their own success and avoid the kind of family disputes over possessions she witnessed growing up — disputes that, she said, once erupted over something as simple as a table.
Speaking candidly on The Talk, Marie, whose children range in age from 17 to 36, emphasized her belief in self-reliance and hard work. Rather than wealth being passed down, she plans to donate her money to charity, hoping to make a broader impact on the world. While some may see this as harsh, others commend her for instilling the value of independence in her family.
And if the idea of zero inheritance wasn’t shocking enough, the segment took an even wilder turn when hosts discussed the unveiling of a $2 million Bentley — a car that doesn’t even come with a roof. That’s right: this ultra-luxury vehicle is crafted with 5,000-year-old wood and is being released in an extremely limited run of just 12 cars. The catch? You’d better pray for sunshine, because this luxury coupe offers no option for covering up in bad weather.
The episode wrapped up with lighter topics, including class-action lawsuits against Apple over slowed-down iPhones, and a tribute to the late James Lipton, legendary host of Inside the Actor’s Studio, who passed away at 93 after a long and influential career.
Marie Osmond’s announcement certainly sparked debate — but one thing is clear: she’s choosing purpose over possessions.
