Hollywood power couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher may have a combined net worth of $275 million, but their children won’t be inheriting it. Instead, the actors have made it clear that Wyatt Isabelle, 10, and Dimitri Portwood, 8, will need to build their own futures without relying on trust funds.
A Fortune Built in Hollywood and Tech
Ashton Kutcher has reportedly earned around $200 million from acting, producing, and successful tech investments. Mila Kunis has built her own impressive $75 million fortune through her acting career, including roles in That ’70s Show, Black Swan, and Friends With Benefits.
Despite their immense wealth, the couple has decided not to pass down their millions to their kids. Instead, they want Wyatt and Dimitri to learn independence, resilience, and the value of hard work.
Why No Trust Fund?
Kutcher first revealed the decision during a 2018 appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. The Punk’d star explained that he and Kunis plan to donate the majority of their money to charity rather than hand it over to their children.
“If my kids want to start a business and they have a solid plan, I’ll invest in it,” Kutcher said. “But they’re not getting trusts.”
The couple’s approach is simple: they don’t want their children to grow up entitled or disconnected from the realities of life.
Mila Kunis’ Parenting Philosophy
Mila Kunis has echoed her husband’s stance in interviews. In 2017, she told Elle UK:
“We’re not gonna raise a**holes. There are enough of those in this world. We don’t need to contribute.”
The actress also shared that she and Kutcher avoid showering their children with expensive gifts, even during Christmas. Instead of overwhelming Wyatt and Dimitri with toys, they encourage relatives to give just one present—or make a charitable donation instead.
A Lesson in Humility
While many celebrity children grow up with endless privileges, Kunis and Kutcher want their kids to stay grounded. By focusing on experiences rather than material possessions, they aim to instill gratitude and responsibility.
The takeaway? Wyatt and Dimitri may not be set for life financially, but they’re being given something arguably more valuable: the tools to build their own futures without relying on a $275 million inheritance.
