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."

Stunning is not the word I would think of. More like, “ACK!”
Not even her wardrobe?......................
Once again your tagline stands out!
RE: Still stunning at age 90
Id like to know who her plastic surgeon is.... Hes good.
Dr. BONDO!.................
True it isn’t brown lip stick on his mouth.
Good for him. I think that Buffet, Vanderbilt, and yes even Bill Gates are not leaving their kids any significant inheritance. Anderson Cooper has made his own money which is better appreciated.
There are probably worse causes than that.
Unfortunatey, her face is permanently fixed in that position.
The sexual deviants who watch Cooper have a lot of disposable income.
he was able to achieve tens of millions of his own on mostly the family name.
Cooper? Vanderbilt? Quite a difference there isn’t there? If he really wanted to live by his name, he would use Vanderbilt-Cooper. No?
oops context is everything
Its a quote from Survivor man about eating raw fish, argh.
Agree, she still looks stunning. I don’t care if plastic surgeons helped out.
They all know he was a Vanderbilt.
His name is Dr. Earl Scheib.
He’s not going to produce an heir, so why give the money to him? It’s a dead end.
Would he have been as successful without her standing behind him? Probably not.
She raised a deviant who is helping to destroy marriage, families, conservatism, and America. I see no reason to admire her or him.
They all know he was a Vanderbilt.
What am I doing wrong? I am a Rockefeller from four generations back (Great Great Grandparents) and don’t get crap or even get to use that. I have a different name too. Man do I feel ripped...lol.
Cooper may appear to be "normal" on television, but I suspect he's one screwed up individual.
