No inheritance for Anderson! CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who comes from the Vanderbilts, one of the wealthiest families in American history, said Monday, March 31, that he will not be receiving any fortune from his mother Gloria Vanderbilt.

"My mom's made clear to me that there's no trust fund," Cooper told Howard Stern on his radio show. "There's none of that."

Cooper's mom is the great-great-granddaughter of railroad and shipping mogul Cornelius Vanderbilt. Still stunning at 90 years old, the Manhattan socialite and former denim designer is reportedly worth a whopping $200 million.

Gloria's equally-successful son, however, told Stern he was okay with not receiving an inheritance at all. "I don't believe in inheriting money," he said. "I think it's an initiative sucker. I think it's a curse."

Cooper explained, "Who has inherited a lot of money that has gone on to do things in their own life? From the time I was growing up, if I felt that there was some pot of gold waiting for me, I don't know that I would've been so motivated."

Today, the reputable journalist, 46, has become a household name on his own. The CNN personality, nicknamed the "Silver Fox" by fans, reportedly rakes in $11 million a year through his contact with the network.

"I'm doing fine on my own, I don't need any [money]," he told Stern.

While Cooper had a privileged upbringing in Manhattan, the Yale grad has mentioned he was unfazed by his wealthy background -- in part, due to his father, Wyatt Emory Cooper. "I've never paid attention to it, honestly," Cooper said of the Vanderbilt family's wealth.

"My dad grew up really poor in Mississippi… I paid attention to that because I thought that's a healthier thing to pay attention to than like some statue of a great-great-great-grandfather who has no connection to my life."

미국 CNN 간판 앵커 앤더슨 쿠퍼는 지난달 31일(현지시간) 미국 하워드 스턴 라디오쇼에 출연해 반더빌트 가문으로부터 상속받을 수 있는 거액의 유산을 포기하겠다는 뜻을 밝혔다.

앤더슨 쿠퍼의 모친 글로리아 반더빌트(90)는 패션 디자이너이자 미국에서 가장 부유한 가문으로 손꼽히는 재벌가 반더빌트 가문의 일원으로 현재 2억달러(약 2116억원)에 육박하는 자산을 보유하고 있는 것으로 알려졌다. 반더빌터 가문은 19세기 철도 사업과 물류 사업 등을 통해 부를 축적했다.

앤더슨 쿠퍼는 "어머니는 내게 확실히 신탁기금 같은 돈은 없다고 말씀하셨다"며 "유산은 인간의 진취성을 망칠 수 있다. 저주 같은 존재"라고 말했다. 이어 "거액의 유산을 상속받은 사람은 자신의 인생에서 해야할 일을 하지 않게 될 가능성이 크다"며 모친의 유산을 포기한 이유를 설명했다
