Bill said in the press for years that his kids would have to get real jobs when they moved out of the house and he was never gonna spoil them. He said he would leave them 10 million max or something and give the rest to the foundation. Melinda pwnd the fuck out of him and Bill's kids retired at 18 and bought penthouses in Tribeca worth 30 mil with 18k a month in HOA fees and hired a full time staff to support them. Melinda made it so nothing Bill said to his kids about how to live life ever mattered again. They're richer than RSF and never have to strive. The dotter runs a fake company that does some sort of online fashion business that has zero customers and Bill talks about what a self starter she is. Bill got pwnd and his kids don't need to pick up when he calls ever again.

I always found Gates' desire to not leave money (in a real sense given his wealth) to his kids to be demented. The guy is such a spiritual faggot. Especially when you consider that his dad was a founding partner of the law firm that became K&L Gates. The nigga talking about "my kids will have to earn it!" like he grew up in some trailer park. Just fucking lol. The nigga had a silver spoon in his mouth from day one.

And as I recall from when I was a little faggot reading Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hours book (whatever it was called), Gates had access to some cutting edge computer lab because of his parents. And this planted the seed to go into the industry and obviously gave him a leg-up on basically every other kid that didn't have access to such a thing.

Also, what’s the point off being/getting wealthy if it’s not to leave your kids in the best position possible? I understand not wanting your kids to be naive or spoiled; they need to have a certain amount of experience and understanding of the world everyone else lives in so they can comprehend why the world is the way it is. But throwing away generational wealth just to virtue signal to a band of postmodernist egalitarians who are bitter about anyone’s success is just retarded.

My recollection is that this was the real reason he was divorced. In a divorce she was entitled to a substantial portion of the hundreds of billions he intended to give away. Once he made it clear that he wanted to piss it away and not leave it to his own flesh and blood, she divorced him. Not exactly shocking either.

most prenups have a sunset clause of 10 or 15 years. in some states sunset clauses are baked into state law. at some point you are simply married to the person you married and the legal chicanery ends.

Because of the conditions of post-war America boomers experienced unprecedented class mobility and wealth accumulation. Because they refuse to accept their success was because of this golden age, and that they squandered it and left things far worse for their kids, they deny it and delude themselves that nothing has changed and their kids can easily bootstrap just like they did.

In previous generations noveau riche bootstrappers were incredibly rare and when they entered the next stratum they were outnumbered by old money types and followed their example on what to do with their new wealth. Because boomers experienced this simultaneously their peers were primarily other bootstrap boomers, so the bootstrapping is easy mentality was self-reinforcing.

They grew up in a world where the incentive structure was such that trying a little bit harder meant outsized gains. If you told a kid if you get a C you get $100, if you get a B you get $1000, and if you get an A you get $10,000, how many kids would get As? I would have gotten straight As if that were the case. The Boomer Reward Structure was just insane. Those that did an average job did pretty good. Those that did above average did excellent, and those that did outstanding won epic prizes. They were the only Gen before or since with that structure. So yes many of them worked really hard and they innovated and changed the world. But they got amazing goodies along the way. Since then Gens have experienced diminishing returns. The reward structure fell to pieces. The goodie bags went away. The prizes cleared up. This is why Gen Z prioritizes quality of life over super striving for riches. The money won't get you far. But you can have a relatively painless, minimally invasive work experience. That's the tradeoff. No one wants to super strive if they're not getting a big payoff. It's not worth it if you never hit a home run. But now you can have your shit life for just a pin prick. The days of easy upgrades are long gone. Give us a prophylactic.

One of my partners has three kids who are all living in poverty and working menial service jobs. He acts like it's noble of him to not give them a dime. Holidays must be rough, I bet his kids hate him.

Otoh he gave them every advantage and paid for all their education. Some kids are just losers regardless of their pedigree. Not sure whether it's better to give those kids an RSF allowance and let them continue flailing in the hope one day they become self-sufficient.

I think it'd be better to take an Old Money approach and give the kids a real allowance / inheritance while also instilling Old Money values and the associated approach to wealth. Given Gates already came from money (see earlier poasts), you'd think he'd understand something along these lines.

It's also very, very hard to have a huge drive to succeed financially if you come from a lot of money. It's just not as essential and you're already used to having it. So the natural instinct to pursue high value endeavors is snuffed out. Only in rare cases does the son go on to outdo the father in these sorts of instances.

I think Bill's approach is tcr becausd I think $10m is a real inheritance. Giving them the whole estate sets up a lineage gilded age faggots and giving them nothing like my partner is boomergoy retardation that only has ever existed in the last century because of boomers being uniquely retarded.

Are you saying Gates should have given them everything or that the $10m he had planned was too cheap? And if the latter, what amount do you think would've been appropriate?

Ghengis Kahn grew up in poverty so extreme there is no modern analogy. He ate rats and possibly did cannibalism to survive. After taking over the world single handedly his son was a decent ruler who developed the empire. His grandsons though grew up in total luxury for the time. They were extremely soft and only cared about finery and luxury. As such the empire was split apart because they were very weak and lazy. Only Kublai Kahn had any impact. He was raised in luxury but somehow had enough of a spine to keep the Chinese portion of the empire going.

I think the $10m number is more insulting than giving them nothing at all. If you give them nothing, you are effectively telling them "you can do what I did and perhaps even more. You may hate me for it, but that hate will drive you to greatness." If you give them everything, you're saying "hey it's just money, let's take care of it intelligently together as a family."

But $10m? That's more than enough to be comfortable, but not so little as to instill any real drive. If anything, it would only serve to anesthetize any nascent ambition the children may have had.

It's also not enough to do something truly interesting. e.g. Erik Prince who took his father's auto parts fortune and used it to finance a modern mercenary army.

What's more, $10m is basically 0.01% of Gates' net worth. And when you consider that he has spent multiples of this sum on absolutely insane and ridiculous "charitable" endeavors (like drinking water funneled through shit), it's hard to not resent him if you're his kid.

I see your point but I disageee. Giving them nothing like my boomer partner borders on cruel. Giving them everything allbut but ensures NODRIVE as we see from generational outcomes in most blueblood children. $10m is enough to ensure that theyre comfortable and no barrier to achievement. Plus I guarantee that because of their connections from growing up a Gate they have far more opportunity for start up capital if they want to do other things.

I can see the reasoning for each option and think reasonable people can disagree on which is best.

Most poor people have no drive either though. It's hard to separate how much was access to money and how much is just intrinsic laziness of a given person

If you have nothing, you have peak motivation to do something about it. You will never have more motivation to strive then when you are desperate.

I think the best plan is to give them nothing. And best if no one knows they're a Gates. You should give them fake names and send them to boarding school in Switzerland.

I think give them nothing and try and get them to strive as nobodies is humane. I think opulence destroys the soul. Otherwise they will just be full time consoomers. I think there's nothing worse than having kids who don't earn their keep. Not everyone is going to get rich but I think everyone can tow their own line.

By this logic you should your kids off at orphanage in Compton to maximize motivation.

My point is that I think you must agree that some level of parental support is good, otherwise the best decision would be to abandon them completely. The question is how much. And I doubt anyone would think my partner with kids living in poverty is the best course.

how are they living in poverty? are they like completely useless and have no motivation? how does anyone live in poverty? they probably have some semblance of a life even if it's not great.

yes investing in your kids to some extent is a universal trait of white european civ. I believe the notion was popularized by Rousseau. "Just be nice to your kids and try to help em out" is uniquely Western.

How bad are these kids lives though? Like they don't have a Bugatti so their lives "suck" is that what you're getting at or are they trying to dig for scrap metal?

All I know is that years ago when people talked about wealth planning he would brag about not giving them shit because he thought that was the best path to success. Then it was talking about their struggles but how that adversity would build character. Now they're in their late 20s and work shitty service jobs. By that point someone is a terminal loser.

If you had kids in that situation you wouldn't throw them a life raft? I think at some point you have to accept you've got an RSF dud kid and give him an allowance. I mean, how long would you let your kid work at 7-11 as a biglaw partner before you gave up on them bootstrapping?

They're probably not duds. They have it in em. It's totally normal for UMC kids to take a really long path to success now. People are having kids for the first time in their 40s. Are they smoking weed and playing video games? Then fuck em lol. They don't deserve shit.

Are they trying to build a business and move up? Help em out a little but don't give them enough to check out. They've still got time. You can maek it at any age.

The odds of someone working menial jobs into adulthood suddenly lighting the world on fire is miniscule. You're willing to accept other stats predicting outcomes but not this?

So how old would you let your kids get? This strikes me as a very boomer mentality. I couldn't watch my kids struggle with millions in my brokerage and all their HS friends balling like RSF.

Counterpoint: RSF sucks royally and his dad totally fucked up. If you think being totally useless and spending 100% of your time chasing girls on Instagram is what you want for your son you are insane. He is the model case for why not to spoil your idiot kid.

There's a big spectrum between letting them be Benzo and making them RSF dude.

This guy makes $5m a year. His kids are approaching 30 and working retail level jobs. If you're telling me he should just keep hoping they get their shit together then you've got early onset Boomerism. That's ridiculous.

The true recipe for BIG success in my view is:

Smart Enough (too high an IQ is overrated for money making)

+

Coming From Nothing (or near nothing)

+

Chip on Shoulder

It obviously doesn't always work, but it is much easier to swing for the fences if you've been broke. Because you then understand that being broke isn't necessarily the end of the world and you can deal with it. So if you swing for a home run and end up with nothing, at least you tried. (side note: look at how many shitlibs become completely deranged - I think this is because they have been comfortable and hate themselves for never trying to do anything. They resent those that try.)

Whereas if you have $10m at the outset, you are likely to be way too comfortable. That can easily convert to $400k a year and all the sudden you're wrapped up in stupid UMC status games like a fag.

I would venture a guess that more truly wealthy people came from nothing vs. came from multi-millions.

My actual thought with Gates is he should've just committed to passing on the majority of his wealth to his family. But if he's not going to do that, he needs to go whole hog and trust that his kids have the ability to surpass him. Obviously he does not think this given his initial plan was to give them *just enough*.

They've done studies on this and the average person who became a world changing entrepreneur came from the UMC. It's always a smartmo with a huge safety net in super educated suburban enclave. But never anyone who grew up rich. Twice as many billionaires from UMC than LMC. Very few from poormos.

I'd love to somehow break this out by industry sector and also by IQ strata. Obviously poormos tend to be lower IQ on average. Historically we were much worse at sorting by IQ, so smart people wouldn't automatically end up going to a top school and what not.
