Marie Osmond has stated that her children won't get an inheritance when she passes away as it "breeds laziness."
Osmond, 63, shares her 39-year-old son Stephen with her 71-year-old husband Steve Craig and seven other children with her ex-husband Brian Blosil.
The children she shares with her ex are Jessica, 35, Rachael, 33, Brandon, 26, Brianna, 24, Matthew, 23, and Abigail, 18.
As per the Daily Mail, the singer and her ex-husband's eldest child Michael died by suicide in 2010 at the age of 17 following a battle with depression.
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, the showbiz veteran revealed that upon her passing, her children will not be receiving any inheritance as she wants them to forge their own way in the world.
"Honestly, why would you enable your child to not try to be something? I don’t know anybody who becomes anything if they’re just handed money," she said.
"To me, the greatest gift you can give your child is a passion to search out who they are inside and to work. I mean, I’ve done so many things from designing dolls [and much more]. I love trying [and] I wanna try everything. I’m a finisher.
"I just think all [an inheritance] does is breed laziness and entitlement. I worked hard and I’m gonna spend it all and have fun with my husband."
Osmond went on to state that she believes giving children a large sum of money does them a disservice as it removes the "important gift" of being able to work.
She claimed that it is seen a lot in "rich" families where the children have been handed everything and are unsure how to spend their time, so they end up getting into trouble.
The singer did explain that if one of her children needs help buying something like a car she will happily pitch in, but she wants her children to earn what they have so they gain a greater appreciation for material things.
Osmond also joked about how being a grandma is easier than being a mother as she doesn't "have to raise them" and just gets to spoil them and have fun.
While her children won't be enjoying the spoils of her riches when she is no longer here, the 63-year-old also revealed that most of her inheritance will be given to charity when she passes.
