    How would you like it if you heard that your dad, the richest man in the world, fought against paying child support for you because it would only go to your mother anyway?

    Do you think that would make you think highly of your dad?

      Depends entirely on the circumstances.

      Did I have a nice childhood? Did I get to go to all the clubs I wanted to go to? Did I get the education I wanted?

      In my opinion, having too much money is harmful for a child, best to keep it in a fund for college / a downpayment.

      3k a month is enough.

        “My billionaire dad fought against giving me a lot of money when I was a kid because too much money is harmful for a child. He flew on his private jet and then drove in his luxury car to the trial to make sure I wasn’t harmed by money. That’s why I love and respect him.” Yes, that sounds plausible. I’m sure they wouldn’t think their billionaire dad living his billionaire lifestyle didn’t skimp out on them because he had a college fund for them.
