Harlow Madden is one lucky little lady! Her Grandpa Lionel and Dad Joel Madden set up trust funds for her to make sure she’s always taken care of.
According to Hollyscoop (among other sources!) Lionel set up a trust fund worth $5 million, while Joel’s “is in the seven figures.”
Hollyscoop then makes a crack about Harlow turning into Paris Hilton, but why is it a bad thing to make sure your kids will be okay if you have the money to do so?


oh go fuck yourself! was the snide comment directed at paris really neccessary?
between the two of them, Nicole has always been mored spoiled than paris and ten times more out of control. Not to mention the fact that paris earns her own cash – and has for many years – without taking from her parents while Nicole still takes money from Lionel.
I understand you’re a nicole fan but that doesn’t mean you have to lie about paris just to jump on that berating bandwagon. Paris shows infinite class & charachter putting up with this crap, while you show just how low and crass you can be.
jus because it’s popular to be a mean bitch, doesn’t mean you should be. enough already.
Hold your horses, Bella. I don’t think that Erin was the one who came up with the comment bout Paris. She just quoted what she read.
holy crap! Relax lady
“HOLLYSCOOP then makes a crack about Harlow turning into Paris Hilton,”
Reading things all the way through is sometimes a good idea. Jesus.
it is, i did, and it was repeated/printed here, which was unnecessary!
[...] Erin on July 30th, 2008 TMZ caught up with Lionel Richie last night and asked him about the trust fund he set up for granddaughter Harlow. His response makes it sound like he doesn’t trust Nicole with money too much, but I [...]
How soon we all forget.. Before there was a simple life (hint the title:Not having to worry about a thing why because it was and still is handle for you..THEY BOTH led the simple life) Please don’t be dismay and think that Paris family OLD money is not supporting her. She lives in FAMILY homes. She travels on FAMILY JETS..enough said (she has advisers that I am sure her parents help to pay for) A person mention that paris is making her own money. Well lets think about this shall we. It was announced sometime ago that her Great grandfather or grandfather (not sure which one) none the less.. was leaving the bulk of his estate to charity. That being said no one knows better than paris if this is in fact true, after all he is her BLOOD. If I was her I would position myself so that I could continue to live the life that I enjoy. But to say that Nicole is SPOILED is not TRUTHFUL. She is BLESSED, so is HARLOW. I am happy for them. If you were happy in your life you would be too. This little lady (HARLOW) is bless to have someone to love her as much as he does in a short period of time.
tracy,
i don’t understand your post. paris lives in a house she bought with her own money. she has several multi-million dollar businesses and makes millions every year on her own. she has never worked for hilton hotels. there are no family owned private jets.
similarly, her father, rick, has his own real estate development business valued at almost $500 million, he has never worked for hilton hotels, inc. rick andkathy have made it clear that their children, like all hilton children are expected to stadn on their own two feet and not just ride the family coat tails. paris and nicky are doing just that. i’m sure the two boys, who are still in school, will also work when they graduate.
hilton hotels was founded by her great-grand father, then run by her grand father who recently sold it. and yes, his estate is mainly going into the family’s charitible trust. (which they all tythe into)
anyway, what’s wrong with a successful family teaching their children to be successful and how to manage their money responsibly through businesses and trusts? are you also upset with the trumps, gates, hearsts, etc?
so i’m not sure what the issue is……
I didn’t mean for that to come across as an attack on paris hilton. sorry if it seems that way–i was just trying to show that i have no problems with trust funds–paris, nicole’s or harlow’s–and hollyscoop and other gossip mags shouldn’t either!
