So after all these years, it looks like being Stewart Copeland’s kid wasn’t such a raw deal after all.
According to Barstool Sports, Sting told the Daily Mail in a recent interview that none of his three sons or three daughters will get any of his $180 million fortune when he croaks.
The former frontman of The Police said he expected his six kids to work and earn their own way, much like he had to as an impoverished kid growing up in England. Plus, he explained there wouldn’t be much left to inherit anyway since he still has over one hundred people on his payroll and he is enjoying spending the rest of it.
He did mention, though, that if any of his children fell on hard times or were in trouble, then he would help them out with whatever they needed. But in the meantime, he’s enjoying the fact that he has never really had to do that since his kids “have the work ethic that makes them want to succeed on their own merit.”
