......
The former country singer, 63, opened up about her plans to donate her wealth to charity instead of leaving it to her seven kids.
......
The singer firmly believes that leaving wealth can discourage the younger generation from working hard.
......
“Congratulations, kids. My husband and I decided that ... I think you do a great disservice to your children to just hand them a fortune because you take away the one most important gift you can give your children, and that’s the ability to work."
Osmond added that children of wealthy families often “don’t know what to do” and “get in trouble." “Let them be proud of what they make, and I’m going to give mine to my charity," she added.
......
Despite her statements, Osmond elaborated that she has no problem helping out her children financially through their lives, whether it's to purchase a home or a car.

Same as Warren Buffett.
Chinese also has saying wealth don't cross 3 Gens ...usually lead to family quarrels, moral rot and all sorts of bad blood.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Talk only or real? Some do it for publicity and later change their mind. One well known actor from HK who talk cock only.
