A Magnanimous Judgment

As most child stars realize later in their adult life, the proper handling of their earnings can make a difference in their future. In local showbiz, parents usually handle the earnings of their celebrity child. For instance, one of the most celebrated child stars in cinema is now enjoying the rewards of the smart investment of his father. These investments have assured the comfortable life of the former child star now that he is no longer active in the business.

Sadly, not all parents have been wise as to where they place the earnings of their celebrity children. When this Comedian Singer (CS) was starting out, her parent was adamant in establishing himself as her manager. As the years passed, the parent and CS would proudly show the public where her money went. Both earned praises for being smart with the money as these investments in businesses and properties would assure CS of a good life when her career will no longer be as hot.

After a series of movements, the popularity of CS dwindled. Though still a competent performer, her movies and appearances were no longer as many. Nonetheless, CS pursued her career by trying out various roles in her network, and her happiness by settling down and beginning her family. As the time came to reap her share in the investments, people in her circle were surprised to find out that these investments were not placed under her name. Hence, CS could not just do as she pleases with the investments that came from her earnings.

With barely enough savings for her own stature, CS has decided to be cool about this predicament. Instead of creating a legal matter out of the situation, which might rock the boat, she believes that everything will be settled in due time and she will be able to get her fair share in the future. This stance of CS indicates that despite potential monetary problems, she values family relations above all else.

You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realized it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself. - Drew Barrymore
