My [15M] parents [40M, 38F] want to adopt three kids [8F, 7F, 7M] and raise them with MY money.

I appreciate your ambitions and hunger to achieve it. My grandparents are wealthy and I realised only when I gained my senses. I was raised by my relatives, I was dependent on them for breast feeding too. My parents were poor then and were busy building their career, so much that they lived in different cities for first 20 years of married life. Now we are well off. In fact, I can say we are one of the most respected ones in our family. My parents also have taught me to be on my own and they will not allow me to inherit until I can buy everything they own or else it goes to charity. My parents believe that anything that comes easy, goes away easily.

I admire Bill Gates, Jackie Chan and Warren Buffett who are donating their wealth to the world and not worrying about their kids. They have taught their kids to earn on their own and not inherit the wealth. Inheriting wealth is the worst thing that a parent could do their kid. That's why kids of most millionaires are mediocre because they haven't earned it. And these millionaires believe that we need more millionaires to fight the mights of poverty - education, health and banking - to bridge the gap between rich and poor.

So what makes you think that your parents money is YOUR money? There's more fun in earning a living than inheriting it. Trust me.
