If I were one of Gordon Ramsay's kids, I would not be very happy right now.

The chef - who is said to earn as much as Beyonce, having made a reported $54million (£43 million) last year - has said that he won't be leaving his fortune to his four children in his will.

“It’s definitely not going to them, and that’s not in a mean way; it’s to not spoil them,” he says. “The only thing I’ve agreed with Tana is they get a 25 per cent deposit on a flat, but not the whole flat."

His rationale is that he wants them to appreciate hard work and earn their own money. It chimes with the ethos of many other celebrity parents. Earlier this month it emerged that the Beckhams - who are good pals of the Ramsay family - are instilling the same work ethic in their offspring, with Cruz having taken a Saturday job washing up in the London café where his older brother Brooklyn previously worked.
