Dame Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop empire, didn’t leave her children a penny of her $100 million fortune, according to her will, which was published yesterday.
The gross value of the charity-conscious cosmetics entrepreneur’s estate at the time of her death was revealed to be $1,310,796, but the entire sum was liable for inheritance tax on donations she’d made to friends and family shortly before her death, leaving her net worth at zilch.
Roddick died from a brain hemorrhage at 64 on September 10 last year and was intent on donating her vast fortune to campaigns supporting the environment, human rights and the relief of Third World debt. (Source)
I’m sorry….THAT’S GANGSTA.
Sure, she gave it to charity or whatever, but they didn’t get NOTHING?
Man, if that was my momma, I’d be jumping in the casket screaming “TELL ME YOUR PIN CODE MOMMA! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!??!?”
Shoot, we in a recession.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming. LOL.

“My momma is worth a 100 mil and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” You just know one of her kids wore that shirt to the funeral!

Just because she was their mama didn’t mean that she had to give them one red cent. I noticed a lot of millionaires and billionaires not leaving their kids any money once they die.
Better put that money away while the folks are alive, boo!

i think these billionaires/millionaires are taking note of these spoiled brat idiot kids, i.e. Paris Hilton and re-thinking their wills. used to be that they could count on their kids to take the reins of their businesses and keep the money and power in the family, but that’s not the case anymore. seems they would rather just run around sayin “that’s hot” or get their pic taken at every club possible. it that’s how her kids were? i ain’t even mad!

but if you cant leave anything to your children because they are spoiled brats….whose fault is it but THE PARENTS! i know plenty of rich kids that are not spoiled at all, and still treat people with respect because their parents raised them right, and i also know some spoiled ass kids from poor homes, the reason of them being poor is the fact that their pennies are spent on their kids.
