Don’t call her a ‘bad mom’–actress Mila Kunis is trying her best to not raise spoiled children.
Kunis appeared on the Australia-based radio podcast The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Aug. 8, where she discussed how she and husband Ashton Kutcher intend to teach their children about money and the value of a dollar.
“It’s a matter of teaching them from a very early age that, you know, ‘Mommy and Daddy may have a dollar, but you’re poor,” Kunis said. “You are very poor, you have nothing. Mommy and Daddy have a bank account.’”
She added, “The one topic of conversation we had even prior to ever having kids was always, ‘How do you raise a child to not be an [expletive]? It’s so important because we both came from pretty solid poverty backgrounds and grew up very poor and are very much self-made and are very aware of what a dollar is worth. Nothing’s been handed to us.”
Kutcher, the son of factory workers, acquired financial success as an actor and tech investor and has built a $25o million portfolio with startups like AirBnB, Spotify, and Uber. Kunis starred in box office hits, “Ted” and “Oz: The Great and Powerful.” According to Forbes, the Ukrainian-born actress earned $6.5 million last year.
Kunis has previously stated she doesn’t want to raise self-entitled children in Hollywood.
