Whoopi Goldberg has revealed who will be inheriting her estimated $60 million fortune when she dies - as she scoffed at fellow celebrities who say they don't plan on passing their wealth onto their offspring.
During Thursday's episode of The View, the 68-year-old star was discussing Jeff Goldblum's recent comments about how he doesn't want his two kids to rely on his $40 million fortune, when Whoopi confirmed she will be leaving 'everything' that she has to daughter Alexandrea Martin.
Poking fun at 71-year-old Jeff's admission of 'not wanting to' help his kids 'row their boat,' she said: 'Well you're gonna be doing it for them for a while because your kids are very young! I mean, you're not cutting them out now are you?'
She then turned to the panel and said: 'So how far do you go to make kids find their own path? Celebs like Ashton Kutcher and Gordon Ramsay said they don't plan on leaving money for their kids...' and then burst out laughing.

The Sister Act star then joked: 'Yeah okay, that's what the courts are for!' before she added: 'One of the great answers is children learn by what they see. My mother worked her behind off and so that's why I feel the way I feel and I'm leaving my kid everything that I have!'
Whoopi's daughter, who will celebrate her 50th birthday on May 9, was born during her mom's marriage to first husband Alvin Martin.

As the debate continued, Whoopi's cohost Joy Behar weighed and argued: 'It depends on the kid in my opinion. Like, my kid, she's a very good girl. She was a waitress, she knows how to work, she's not a big spender, she's not a brat, she's not a taker, so I would leave her money.'
The 81-year-old then joked: 'But if my kids were Donald Jr Trump and Eric, no! I mean, take for example... those two, they certainly know how to hustle and grift around and make their own money...'
'But Donald Trump himself got how many millions from his father?' she continued as Alyssa Farah Griffin confirmed that the former President inherited 'at least a million' from his dad.
'And where is he now? All his money is gone and now he's leeching off of the people he wants to vote for him. So leaving the money doesn't ipso facto solve the problem! Exhibit A!' Joy added.
Sunny Hostin then joined in and said: 'I agree with that and I'll also say, I look at it through the lens of generational wealth. I think in this country there's such a huge gap between white families and black families.
'And if you're talking about generational wealth, it's not just about leaving your kids money, it's about making sure they get a great education, it's about making sure that they get those college exam preps, it's about passing down property so that they have a place to live.'
Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin debated whether or not children should inherit money from their parents
Sunny spoke about leaving her children, Gabriel and Paloma, money and said she wants to 'give them an advantage'
Sara Haines, pictured here with her three young kids, said if her children 'work hard' then she will help them as much as they need
Sunny, who is mom to her children Gabriel, 21, and Paloma, 17, continued: 'It's about leaving them money so that each generation does better.
'One of the problems I always see in the African American community is quite frankly... the G.I. Bill, there are all these systemic problems with being able to accrue wealth that black families didn't get and I'll be damned if my kids are gonna have to struggle even more than what I did. I'm gonna give them an advantage.'
Sara Haines then added: 'I think parenting is not a one size fits all and either is this answer because I've seen a lot of people - and I'm sure everyone knows someone - who feels entitled to things.
'And I think giving someone something when they feel entitled doesn't help them down the road in life. So if you come out, working hard with your head down, I will help you as much as you need. The other version: I'm not doing anything for you by ingratiating you.'
Alyssa, 34, then said: 'I worry about that. As someone who struggled financially when we were young, but also throughout my twenties, I built a work ethic.
'So I'm trying to think balancing with kids, how do you make sure they have drive and a work ethic but also the safety net that a parent can provide them, and I don't know what the perfect answer is.'
