Anderson Cooper Will Not Receive an Inheritance From Mom Gloria Vanderbilt
US Magazine ^ | 04/02/2014 | Esther Lee

Posted on 04/02/2014 7:10:57 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

No inheritance for Anderson! CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who comes from the Vanderbilts, one of the wealthiest families in American history, said Monday, March 31, that he will not be receiving any fortune from his mother Gloria Vanderbilt.

"My mom's made clear to me that there's no trust fund," Cooper told Howard Stern on his radio show. "There's none of that."

Cooper's mom is the great-great-granddaughter of railroad and shipping mogul Cornelius Vanderbilt. Still stunning at 90 years old, the Manhattan socialite and former denim designer is reportedly worth a whopping $200 million.

Gloria's equally-successful son, however, told Stern he was okay with not receiving an inheritance at all. "I don't believe in inheriting money," he said. "I think it's an initiative sucker. I think it's a curse."

"I don't believe in inheriting money,"...."I think it's a curse."

You know, I can handle that curse. Wonder if Gloria needs another, more appreciative, kid?

People who speak of money as "A Curse", IMO, have never wondered once in their lives how they're going to make their next house payment.

Gloria must have been stunning in her day, my dad met her once and always talked about how beautiful she was. My dad was a cowboy on a ranch in Arizona when her family visited the owners of the ranch. He said they were very nice people, or at least they were to him.

Cooper's mom... the Manhattan socialite and former denim designer is reportedly worth a whopping $200 million.

Whopping? $200 mil is chump change for Manhattan socialites.

And she made me proofread the book.”

Ew. If that was how she raised him, no wonder he turned out the way he did.

She may be 90, but she has the body of an 85 year old.

IMO, they’re both disgusting. It’s the difference between a pile of cow manure, and a rotting road-kill raccoon ... I don’t want to step in either one.

Wonder where Anderson got his ideas, growing up with a jeans-designer single mother?

Do you find that last photo more than a bit creepy?

It kinda grosses me out, actually.

I see Mom’s been enjoying the heck out of her inheritance for 90 years. What a hypocrite!! Oh wait she talked to Ted Turner and she’s giving it all to the UN. :-)

Oh how they have fallen since the days of Cornelius Vanderbilt....

They say family fortunes are typically lost in 2 generations. Cornelius in today's dollars would probably me richer that Gates and Buffet combined. Thus, if Gloria only has 200 mill left she effectively has very little of the original fortune - BUT, I'd have to look at the family tree because there were probably many kids.
