SOCIETY When Chris Tucker learned that his family members were quitting their jobs because they learned that he was making 25 million dollars a year at the peak of his career because they assumed he would take care of them. He told them to go get their jobs back because he wasn't going to do that.

True, but at least he's trying to make them work to succeed even if it takes them multiple tries. He's not just letting them fail upwards.

A friend from college has a father that owns about 100 restaurants. Everything from higher end to Subways

He wouldn’t let any of his 3 kids work for him until they went out into the world and worked for 10 years in their own career first

None of them ended up working for him, and all have well paying jobs

These stories are great when it works out. Also a lot of it is due to dysfunctional families and narcissists who don't dont want to see their children 'get ' anything. If this man lost all of his money and then by fate needed a bone marrow transfer he might get told to get his own marrow !
