Jeff Goldblum's choice: Wealth won't reach next generation

Jeff Goldblum, at 71 years of age, has married a much younger partner, continuing the trend of rich and famous men opting for significantly younger spouses. This is his third marriage. His first wife was Patricia Gaul, who was seven years his senior, followed by Gina Davis, an actress who is three years his junior and co-starred with him in the comedy "Earth Girls Are Easy". Currently, Goldblum is married to former gymnast Emilie Livingston, who is 30 years his junior.

Despite the challenges of becoming a father later in life, Goldblum and his wife decided to have two children. Now, at 71, he is the father of an eight-year-old and a six-year-old.

In a past interview, he reflected on his decision:

I constantly think about their future and mine. Whenever I buy a watch, I ponder who will inherit it. I'm glad I waited. Going through this at my age is wonderful.

On the podcast "Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi", Jeff Goldblum shared his philosophy on providing for children. He emphasized self-reliance with the phrase, "Hey, everyone should steer their own boat!"

The Hollywood actor has decided not to leave his fortune to his children as an inheritance.

Teaching children the value of making their own way is essential. "I won't do it for you. And you wouldn't want me to," he remarked.

When the time comes, what advice will he offer his sons?

You'll have to decide for yourself what’s truly important and necessary, even if it means engaging in activities that may not interest you but are still essential.

Jeff Goldblum has starred in some of the most successful films of all time, including Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park", its sequel "The Lost World: Jurassic Park", and the sci-fi thriller "Independence Day".

Thanks to his roles in Wes Anderson's films, his career has experienced a revival. His net worth is around £32 million.
