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."

worth a whopping $200 million. Gloria's equally-successful son

"Equally successful"????? Perhaps they must have changed the definition success.

[A CA Guy]

From four generations back?

There is your problem, not so with Cooper whose mom was famous.

The CNN personality, nicknamed the “Silver Fox” by fans, reportedly rakes in $11 million a year through his contact with the network

Cooper ha a great agent.

That is $1 Million per viewer!

"She raised a deviant who is helping to destroy marriage, families, conservatism, and America. I see no reason to admire her or him."

I believe your comment can apply to the mothers/fathers of all homosexuals whose lifestyles or "parenting" skills were responsible for creating homosexuals.

Then, since they're incapable of realizing or accepting the responsibility they bear, they promote the societal acceptance of these deviants in order to absolve themselves of any guilt or responsibility...

"I don't believe in inheriting money," he said. "I think it's an initiative sucker. I think it's a curse."

One of the fundamental tenets of communism. No inheritances, because when you die everything must go to the state.

Besides, people who inherit money inherit power, and that makes them a threat to the state.

Democrats think that way too, because in their heart of hearts they are communists.

Yeah that is true. Quite frankly I would hate to have all that money. I know it is nice I am sure but it does come with a price. Anderson’s brother committed suicide and a bunch of other stuff.

[miserare]

Good point.

[cornfedcowboy]

I agree. I like AC ore than most. That being said, AC is getting his inheritance up front. No doubt his family has already help open doors for his career.

[moehoward]

That’s a keeper!

[Lazamataz]

I’d hit it.

[driftdiver]

How can someone admire a person basically coined the term ‘teabaggers’ when referring to the Tea Party?

[DManA]

Anderson is fond of the Johnson.

[ohiobushman]

Now I know where Cooper’s testicles are,they’re on his Mom’s cheeks!

[moovova]

OMG...who’s gonna pay for the gender misalignment operation?

[Wyatt's Torch]

I guess I’ve been under a rock but I had no idea his mom was Gloria Vanderbilt.

She invested in “plastics”_________________

She has the most extreme plastic surgery I have seen in anyone over 80 and she is 90. She looks bizarre but....OK at the the same time

[USS Alaska]

Do we need to ask Laz the age-old question?

To which gloria are referring?

[sitetest]

I coulda been very happy as the idly-rich scion of a wealthy family.

[Organic Panic]

Why is it only wealthy liberals don’t support inheriting money? They don’t and are lying. It’s part of the show to keep up appearances of being for the little guy.

[llevrok]

I’d like to know who her plastic surgeon is.... He’s good.

But with that much work done, I bet she stays away from earthquake prone areas.
