The CNN anchor and son of the late Gloria Vanderbilt says that he won’t leave a “pot of gold” behind for his son when he’s gone. Instead, Cooper will follow his mother’s lead, who he said once told him, “College will be paid for, and then you gotta get on it.'”
“I don’t believe in passing on huge amounts of money,” the 54-year-old said on the latest episode of the “Morning Meeting” podcast, where he was promoting his new book on the Vanderbilts. “I’m not that interested in money … I don’t intend to have some sort of pot of gold for my son.”
