Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash<\/a> have opened up about their plans for their fortune and how they won’t be giving their children millions.<\/p>\n

Stacey, 35, and Joe, 43, share six children, Stacey’s two children Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, plus Joe’s son from a previous relationship, Harry, 17.<\/p>\n

The couple also has three younger children together: Rex, five, Rose, three, and two-year-old Belle.<\/p>\n

In a new interview about their new reality TV series Stacey & Joe, the couple revealed that they want their children to make their own money, and won’t just be handing over huge sums.<\/p>\n

‘We don\u2019t have inherited wealth that we can pass down for generations,’ Stacey told The Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s really important for them to know that this is our career and we will support our family in whichever way we can, but eventually they are their own person.’<\/p>\n

It has previously been reported that Stacey has an estimated net worth of \u00a35 million, while a few years ago it was reported that Joe was worth around \u00a31.5 million.<\/p>\n

She explained that this is why she wants her children to earn their pocket money and wants her children to inherit her work ethic. <\/p>\n

‘They\u2019re going to have their own lives and they need to have their own dreams, careers and that doesn\u2019t come from us giving them everything. It\u2019s a constant battle. <\/p>\n

She added that sometimes she wants to ‘throw the towel in’ with her older children, but still makes it work.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tCelebrities not leaving their children fortunes\t\t\t<\/h2>\n
\n

Stacey and Joe aren’t the only celebrities to decide not to leave their children millions in inheritance. <\/p>\n

Spencer Matthews previously revealed that he won’t be leaving his children his \u00a312.5 million fortune<\/a> because he wanted them to earn money themselves.<\/p>\n

‘Suffer is too strong a word, but it\u2019s very important that my kids have to challenge themselves and experience things on their own,’ he told The Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Carr has also previously said he doesn’t want ‘trust fund kids’. Having stuff isn\u2019t fun. Getting stuff is fun, right? It\u2019s not the pursuit of happiness, it\u2019s the happiness of the pursuit,\u2019 he told Diary of a CEO.<\/p>\n

Gordon Ramsay confirmed his kids wouldn\u2019t see a single penny<\/a> from his estimated \u00a340 million fortune. Speaking to The Telegraph<\/a>, the chef said instead, he and his wife Tana would each be giving them a 25% deposit on a flat, and that would be about it.<\/p>\n

In March 2016, Elton John told The Mirror<\/a> that giving his children a \u2018silver spoon\u2019 would \u2018ruin their life\u2019, and he\u2019d instead prefer for them to work.<\/p>\n

Sting commented to the Daily Mail<\/a> in 2014: \u2018I certainly don\u2019t want to leave them trust funds that are albatrosses round their necks. They have to work. All my kids know that and they rarely ask me for anything, which I really respect and appreciate.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

She added that she learned from her parents that it is important to teach children to be excited by the prospect of earning and being financially independent. <\/p>\n

‘My dad didn\u2019t treat us any differently, as soon as we got jobs, we had to contribute to the household,’ shares Stacey. <\/p>\n

She explained that her children are aware they won’t have huge sums simply handed to them.<\/p>\n

‘They\u2019re fully aware that it\u2019s not going to be given to them, and we don\u2019t have it to give. That is really important to me.’<\/p>\n

She then added that it’s about a more important lesson to make sure they have ‘self-worth’ and ‘feel accomplished.’<\/p>\n

She added: ‘It’s very difficult to go through life without needing anything or wanting anything.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t want to leave them in that position.’<\/p>\n

In addition to their net worth, it has been reported that Stacey has a \u00a38 million business portfolio.<\/p>\n

The couple owns the sprawling Essex mansion they have named Pickle Cottage, which was reportedly worth \u00a31.2million when they purchased it.<\/p>\n

The property has undergone significant renovations since it was purchased in 2022, which have been documented on Stacey’s social media pages.<\/p>\n

Stacey & Joe airs Tuesday, April 1 at 8pm on BBC One<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
