[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you should feel obligated…although surprised you have so much NW and yet you have never made $500k per year.

I think the question is do you plan to leave all the $$$s to your kid?  If so, not sure there is much difference in paying for the wedding vs just leaving more to the estate later on.

I was far wealthier than my parents…like my NW was 20x their NW, so I took the lead in telling them to just enjoy the wedding and not contribute.

My own kid is early 20s, but on paper worth a ton due to lucking out in the startup game…we will see what happens if that paper money becomes real money.[/quote]

Early 20s and lucked out in the startup game?

Lol. You mean the one with peak valuation rounds in 2021 that re-rated down from that by half and has no one IpO market.  And even when it goes public there are 5+ years of illiquidity for insiders. [/quote]

Well they just raised a Series B at a $2BN valuation (like this month) and my kid owns 1.5%.  Assume you can do the math.

It will likely be an acquisition not an IPO.

Why so angry?  I said it’s on paper, not yet real money.[/quote]

No ones angry. Most startups don’t survive and the last three years were brutal, even for unicorns. Good luck. Hope they have very smart investors. [/quote]
