 What is your plan on how to distribute your wealth ?

Will you give it all to your children?

Will you split it evenly ? If not, what will be the criterias ? 
 It’s all going to my kids. The plan is to split it evenly, as long as they meet certain criteria. 

I haven’t made anything official yet, but the criteria will be something like. 

- finish school 
- no substance abuse issues
- no criminal charges 
- spouses must sign prenup 
- understand principles of investing (I teach them this now even at a young age, so it’ll be easy for them).
- hold gainful employment or run a business

Etc…

 Finish school..... I wish I would have dropped out of high school at 16 and started figuring out my own way instead of wasting another 6 years listening to idiots.

 Thinking back to age 16, I can't imagine spending another 2-6 years in school after that age. Would have been extremely depressing. High school is an obsolete model today for intelligent, curious people. You can start a career or business and start compounding wealth, while still learning more valuable knowledge by researching things that interest you online in a weekend than you will in a year of high school.
