Welcome to the Think Generation of Wealth Podcast, and this is episode number 116.
00:00:05.732 --> 00:00:07.647
I am your host, amir Estimo.
00:00:07.647 --> 00:00:26.870
I appreciate you listening in today's podcast episode because we have a wonderful show for you today, probably a wonderful topic, and we will dive in in a minute, but before we do that, first of all I'd like to say I appreciate you taking the time to listen to this podcast episode.
00:00:26.870 --> 00:00:36.414
As this podcast, you could be doing anything in this world, but the fact that you're listening to today's podcast episode is much appreciated.
00:00:36.414 --> 00:00:41.210
Second of all, this podcast episode is brought to you by Starville Talent Group.
00:00:41.210 --> 00:00:47.612
Okay, now let's dive into today's podcast episode.
00:00:47.612 --> 00:00:50.185
So, today's podcast episode.
00:00:50.185 --> 00:00:52.171
I think it's an interesting topic.
00:00:52.171 --> 00:00:57.813
This kind of goes different from what we're accustomed to with this podcast.
00:00:58.621 --> 00:01:01.500
The podcast is called Think Generation of Wealth, obviously.
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:03.808
So Think Generation.
00:01:03.808 --> 00:01:09.070
Of course, this is about you know generational wealth, and not just some.
00:01:09.070 --> 00:01:18.051
You know anything in assets, but it's also, and I would say probably, mindset and mentality teaching.
00:01:18.051 --> 00:01:24.165
So emphasis, vamos a the symbols, like they say, let's get started.
00:01:24.186 --> 00:01:35.381
So, because for me, I was looking at a, a topic, I was like actually trying to find some content for the podcast, and I came across something.
00:01:35.381 --> 00:01:46.233
And I came across and the headline says jackie chen says he won't pass down 400 million fortune to his son if he's capable.
00:01:46.233 --> 00:01:58.263
So I said okay, well, I dived in and read about it and basically jackie chan said I'm not leaving nothing for my son, I'm gonna leave this money for charity, wow.
00:01:58.263 --> 00:01:58.584
And I said hmm.
00:01:58.584 --> 00:02:05.998
So my wife was sitting there and I said me and my wife was sitting there and I said me and my wife had a discussion.
00:02:05.998 --> 00:02:13.909
It was an interesting discussion because she says I agree, I was like you agree, huh, what do you mean?
00:02:13.909 --> 00:02:17.110
And she says no, I'm not leaving nothing for my kids.
00:02:17.110 --> 00:02:23.413
And I said, well, I mean, that's the whole premise of us.
00:02:23.413 --> 00:02:28.532
If you have kids, you know, if you have kids, you want to be able to leave them something.
00:02:28.532 --> 00:02:42.121
And I mean her reasoning was she had some really good points, but I thought what I thought is I thought was funny because I said man, you know that's that's not.
00:02:42.121 --> 00:02:44.282
You know it gave me something to think about.
00:02:44.282 --> 00:02:48.270
Was funny because I said man, you know that's that's not.
00:02:48.270 --> 00:02:49.413
You know it gave me something to think about.
00:02:49.432 --> 00:02:53.822
And I come here and I say this because we this is going to be a two part episode.
00:02:53.822 --> 00:03:02.710
So I'm going to talk a little bit about this and then, after that next week's episode, we're going to dive in more into, like, the analytics of it.
00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:06.193
So I'm a I'm a data net, I'm a data guy by nature, so we're going to dive into the analytics of it.
00:03:06.193 --> 00:03:08.887
So I'm a, I'm a data net, I'm a data guy by nature, so we're going to dive into the analytics of this.
00:03:08.887 --> 00:03:24.681
Um, so when her and I got her and I had this discussion and I said to myself I said, man, I wonder how many other people think like this, thinks like this.
00:03:24.681 --> 00:03:27.887
And I said, you know what, let's dive in.
00:03:27.887 --> 00:03:30.671
This would be a great topic for the podcast.
00:03:30.671 --> 00:03:36.782
So first of all, let's take a read.
00:03:36.782 --> 00:03:43.128
So this is from RepublicWorldcom and it says Jackie Chan says he won't pass down 400 million fortune to his son.
00:03:43.128 --> 00:03:51.629
If he's capable, jackie Chan plans on leaving nothing behind for his kids from his massive Hollywood fortune.
00:03:51.629 --> 00:03:57.544
He also builds his argument in favor of this harsh decision.
00:03:58.866 --> 00:04:03.480
Jackie Chan has a rather strong stance when it comes to the topic of parenting.
00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:18.754
The actor's unstable relationship with his two children that's key there is known to the public owing to multiple negative statements the sibling duo has made against their father over the years.
00:04:18.754 --> 00:04:28.214
Chan recently said that he does not plan on listing his son as a recipient of his hefty Hollywood-earned fortune.
00:04:28.214 --> 00:04:31.482
So here's three things you need to know 1.
00:04:31.482 --> 00:04:35.673
Jackie Chen's estimated net worth clocks in at $400 million.
00:04:35.673 --> 00:04:37.141
2.
00:04:37.141 --> 00:04:43.547
Chen has two children, jc Chen, 40, and Etta NG.
00:04:43.547 --> 00:04:54.826
Chong Lam recently claimed that her father, jackie Chan, has abandoned her.
00:04:54.826 --> 00:05:03.225
Okay, and it goes on, says Jackie Chan does not plan on passing his fortune to his son, jc Chan.
00:05:04.648 --> 00:05:17.615
Jc Chan has been rather vocal about his displeasure with how his son, jackie Chan, has been rather vocal about his displeasure with how his son, jc Chan, turned out.
00:05:17.615 --> 00:05:32.052
In an interview with the International Publication, the actor revealed how he believes that JC Chan has no discipline, in addition to not knowing how to hold a respectful conversation.
00:05:32.052 --> 00:05:42.327
He also made clear that, as and when the actor will pass away, his son will have no chance of inheriting his fortune.
00:05:42.327 --> 00:05:54.028
So the actor elaborated that his children have him as a father, unlike other people who have to fight their own battles.
00:05:54.028 --> 00:06:04.887
The 69-year-old actor has relayed how he would rather give away his money to charity as opposed to pass it on to his son.
00:06:04.887 --> 00:06:09.822
Money to charity as opposed to pass it on to his son.
00:06:09.822 --> 00:06:11.086
He said if he's capable, he can make his own money.
00:06:11.086 --> 00:06:11.687
If he is not, then he will.
00:06:11.687 --> 00:06:13.211
He will be just wasting mine.
00:06:13.211 --> 00:06:21.333
Wow, that's powerful right there and goes on to again uh, jackie chan wants his children to make their own fortunes.
00:06:22.021 --> 00:06:34.985
In an excerpt from his autobiography Never Grown Up, the karate kid actor recalls how he never bought a first plane ticket for his son, although the actor himself flies first class.
00:06:34.985 --> 00:06:46.161
Explaining his logic, the actor shared how his family, his children, simply have the opportunity to fly first class because they are his children.
00:06:46.161 --> 00:06:50.735
He instead has always tried to ensure that they sit in economy.
00:06:50.735 --> 00:06:57.492
However, his attentions have inadvertently gets bumped up to first class.
00:06:57.492 --> 00:07:05.112
His son has always inadvertently gets bumped up to first class, okay, by virtue of traveling with him.
00:07:05.132 --> 00:07:12.980
Jackie's son, jc Chan, is a musician and a actor, not having made his mark as such in either field.
00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:16.209
Now it talks about the daughter Etta.
00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:21.646
In Chong Lam claims Jackie Chan abandoned her.
00:07:21.646 --> 00:07:25.899
In Chong Lam is Jackie Chan's estranged daughter.
00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:34.404
The two have a strained relationship since her birth as she was conceived as a result of the actor's extramarital affair.
00:07:34.404 --> 00:07:35.956
So we're not going to get too much into that.
00:07:35.956 --> 00:07:39.779
Obviously, you know that's something else.
00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:46.398
Ok, but anyways, I saw two things like the two things to take away here.
00:07:46.398 --> 00:07:54.954
Okay, one of course, we see that he does not have a good relationship with his kids either, or, but it looks like with his son.
00:07:54.954 --> 00:07:58.663
He may be a little bit more closer to his son than the daughter.
00:07:58.663 --> 00:08:12.170
So the interesting thing he says is his children need to learn how to make their own money, otherwise they will be wasting his.
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:13.853
They got to be capable.
00:08:13.853 --> 00:08:24.855
So capable not learned, but capable is if you can work, if you can walk, talk, listen, run, you can go make some money on your own.
00:08:24.855 --> 00:08:34.445
So the interesting part in this, what I found interesting was is the fact that this is, this is a.
00:08:34.445 --> 00:08:36.187
He's probably not the only one.
00:08:36.187 --> 00:08:52.652
Like I said, my wife felt the same way, not in the sense that she's not, she doesn't have a relationship with our kids, but she does our kids, but she does the.
00:08:52.652 --> 00:08:55.980
Her mindset is is that if I have to work hard, i'ma teach you, but then you have to go work hard and make your own.
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.224
Okay, now here's another example.
00:08:57.224 --> 00:09:14.167
So we have so that's jackie chan, we have aaron spelling, um, and, and if you can google, it says that Aaron Spelling left his wife, candy the majority of his estate, which was estimated to be worth 500 million.
00:09:14.167 --> 00:09:16.057
Uh, I don't remember when he died.
00:09:16.057 --> 00:09:17.417
Let me see when he passed away.
00:09:17.417 --> 00:09:32.225
It looks like he passed away a while back ago, um, yeah, whatever years ago, um, but it says the majority of his Aaron Spelling's estate went to his wife, candy Spelling, after he died of whatever in 2006.
00:09:32.225 --> 00:09:36.941
And he left his daughter, tori, with nothing.
00:09:36.941 --> 00:09:48.404
And the reason he didn't if you guys remember the show man Rose Plays 90210, growing up, that's you know that's early 90s show.
00:09:48.404 --> 00:09:51.498
Aaron Spelling was the creator of those content.
00:09:51.498 --> 00:09:53.677
He died in 2006.
00:09:53.677 --> 00:10:03.764
He left his daughter, tori Spelling, with nothing, and one of the reasons why he didn't leave her with anything is because she was not financially responsible.
00:10:06.649 --> 00:10:11.729
There's another thing Shaq, shack, shack not leaving his kids.
00:10:11.729 --> 00:10:14.796
He's saying it's my money, not their money, and another one.
00:10:14.796 --> 00:10:33.816
So, as we can see, the theme here is we see Jackie, we see Aaron, and even shack has made mention of not leaving any wealth for his kids and they have to go learn or capable of making their own money, and I agree, I agree.
00:10:33.816 --> 00:11:03.354
Um, I think for me is, if the kids don't understand financial education, they will not, even if you were to leave them a dollar, that dollar will be a penny later on, because the kids today especially don't really take into account for tomorrow.
00:11:03.354 --> 00:11:15.214
So if you work hard and, of course, then generational wealth, you work hard and you leave your wealth and your kid just spends it.
00:11:15.214 --> 00:11:17.438
Where?
00:11:17.438 --> 00:11:21.754
At what point we are going to stop the generational curse?
00:11:21.754 --> 00:11:32.392
Because me even me, coming from Haitian descendant I don't have a father that had four hundred million dollars of net worth.
00:11:34.755 --> 00:11:42.118
But one thing I can say is my parents did not teach me that much about money.
00:11:42.118 --> 00:11:50.354
They always told me you need to save money, but they didn't tell me this is how you go make money besides going to get a job.
00:11:50.354 --> 00:11:59.955
So growing up it was you go to go to graduate high school, you go to college, get a good job, buy a house and then that's it.
00:11:59.955 --> 00:12:05.230
But as you get older, you start to learn more and more.
00:12:05.230 --> 00:12:17.678
Yes, that's one part you can do that if you want, but that's not the entire of how wealth is developed and born and made.
00:12:17.678 --> 00:12:30.192
So you as a person who you build all this wealth, and then your kids, who are not, you know, they may be trust fund babies.
00:12:30.192 --> 00:12:37.955
They don't have an understanding how money works and then they take your money or take your wealth and spend it.
00:12:37.955 --> 00:12:42.890
All that does is keep the generational curse going and going and going.
00:12:46.027 --> 00:12:54.129
I believe you can get them a head start if they are financially and they are mature enough to deal with that.
00:12:54.129 --> 00:13:00.856
But if they are not, because when you look at these headlines you say, man, you know, leaving your kids nothing.
00:13:00.856 --> 00:13:04.957
But when you read the context you say, you know what?
00:13:04.957 --> 00:13:16.235
I agree, you got to be able to teach your kids to be responsible financially.
00:13:16.235 --> 00:13:19.342
Even as adults, we struggle with that.
00:13:19.342 --> 00:13:30.149
We struggle with not being financially capable ourselves.
00:13:30.149 --> 00:13:33.745
I think there's statistics we'll talk about this where 49 or 51% of the US don't even have $1,000 in their account Emergency.
00:13:33.745 --> 00:13:39.899
Let's say they needed $1,000 right now they don't have it 51%.
00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:47.032
There's another statistic that even if you make $100K, you're still struggling.
00:13:47.032 --> 00:13:56.495
People who are not making $100K are getting bumped down to almost middle class, and now the middle class is probably going to be that's not even going to be a thing.
00:13:56.495 --> 00:13:59.193
It's either high wealth or nothing.
00:14:01.385 --> 00:14:10.538
So I thought that was interesting because if you work hard, I just wonder how many people agree with Jackie Chan.
00:14:10.538 --> 00:14:13.793
Now we got two separate instances.
00:14:13.793 --> 00:14:20.625
So we see that he has a daughter they don't have a relationship, doesn't look like he was in their life and then his son.
00:14:20.625 --> 00:14:33.779
They don't have a good relationship themselves, and the things he talked about was respect, capability, leaving money, leaving net worth, his net worth for charity.
00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:50.489
So if you make your money now, let's say, my question is is that, does everybody feel that way?
00:14:50.489 --> 00:14:57.120
Now, what if you do have a good relationship with your children and you still feel that way?
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.427
What makes you feel?
00:14:59.427 --> 00:15:03.937
Is it because, hey, I work hard for this and they're not going to appreciate it?
00:15:03.937 --> 00:15:09.125
Hard for this?
00:15:09.125 --> 00:15:11.913
And if they're not going to appreciate it?
00:15:11.913 --> 00:15:23.190
Or is it that, hey, if I'm gonna teach you how to make this money or how, not even because, let's say, your father could be an actor but you're an engineer, so not, the making part is not the fake, it's how to grow and keep your wealth.
00:15:23.190 --> 00:15:25.750
How does that happen?
00:15:25.750 --> 00:15:32.514
So I'm interested to see how many people feel this way about this topic.
00:15:33.495 --> 00:15:35.817
But today's episode, again, it's a two-part.
00:15:35.817 --> 00:15:40.961
We're going to talk about next week, we're going to dive in more into the numbers and then after that.
00:15:40.961 --> 00:15:54.759
But today's episode was more of an awareness and to really make you think, after going over this with Jackie Chin, aaron Spelling are they in the right and if you feel they are in the right?
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.048
Or, let's say, they're in the wrong?
00:15:56.048 --> 00:15:58.235
If they're in the wrong, why are they in the wrong?
00:15:58.235 --> 00:16:00.869
But if they're in the right, why do you feel they're in the right?
00:16:00.869 --> 00:16:02.552
Okay, all right.
00:16:02.552 --> 00:16:06.721
