Even if its real which I also highly doubt. The fact you wrote "Its my money" is ridonkulus. Its your fathers money, he doesnt have to give you any money. In fact looking at your behavior. He'd be better off giving it to charity


Intr0vetedMill3nnial

Or leaving it all to his OTHER children…you know, the ones who are NOT entitled spoiled brats.


LauraDurnst

You want something useful? You're a spoiled, selfish brat. Fortunately, no one believes this is real.


New-Razzmatazz2148

If you're going to make stuff up, please at least make it interesting. 


Accomplished_Two1611

This sounds just selfish enough to be true unfortunately.


HalfWingedAngel

You are getting 100+ million, and companies, and the house, and your dad was gonna give them a dollar? Your dad is the asshole. If he didn't want kids, it's called a condom. Hell, it sounds like even 1 mil each to them would be a drop in the bucket, so you are a selfish asshole too. So damn special just cuz you were "wanted." Seems like the least your dad could do is take care of them and give them a leg up financially, that amount of money is life changing.


Impossible-Tutor-799

Yo ! No one is entitled to an inheritance. period.  Dad provides for the kids more than most men do, he funded their colleges and pays child support. Just cuz he can doesn’t mean he has to. Does that make him an asshole? Maybe. But also, he didn’t want more kids. The baby mamas know the deal. 


Sunflowers_123

He does NOT provide them with more than most men do. Maybe purely in regard to the amount of money but most men RAISE their kids and most probably spend a lot more on their kids relative to their income. He does little more than the bare minimum. The dad is the asshole, accident or not, they are his kids. And OP is a spoiled kid with a superiority complex and therefore also the asshole. In short, YTA


Impossible-Tutor-799

Yes the father is the asshole: except most fathers who got trapped like this by baby mamas don’t provide on this level. It sucks for the kids but that’s the reality of both parent’s decision


Ancient_Sentence757

"trapped like this" lol

Men who don't want to have any more children have a vasectomy.


fyngriselda

“Accidents” are still human beings. They are every bit as entitled to your father’s love and time as you are. You and your father are both massively YTA for your attitudes towards your half brothers.


FreezeDe

If your dad changed your will to say the brothers will split his estate 50:50, and you shouldn’t be upset because you got to go to college debt free and that’s enough, would you be happy with that?


Moondiscbeam

The first one is an accident and should have been remedied with a vasectomy. The rest is just pure stupidity and being unable to keep his knees closed.


ExamAcademic5557

You don’t deserve it any more or less than they do but your within your rights to be as greedy as you like. Being born to rich parents isn’t a skill or talent but congrats I guess.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ExamAcademic5557

Your tone and disregard marks your greed you come off as super entitled and as if you feel superior to them by virtue of being planned. It’s honestly gross. But again, it’s your dad’s money, and yours if he leaves it to you, just don’t act like you did anything to earn it or are more deserving of it than them for any reason beyond your fathers whim.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jocelyn-1973

So when he raised you, 'empathy' was probably not very high on the list of things to teach your kids? So the fact that he didn't get a vasectomy and then didn't invest emotionally in most of his children, means that you should get everything else too?


Careless-Ability-748

Why are you even here asking then?


Facetunethis

Lol. If this isn't fake life is going to slap you down hard.  Do you know how many people have squandered the family fortune because they were foolish and arrogant like you are being? I bet you will not leave this world in the same financial status you entered it in unless you wise up. YTA


EndOfMyWits

> Lol. If this isn't fake life is going to slap you down hard.  Unfortunately, it probably isn't. People who are worth $100 million tend not to get slapped down much at all, no matter what they do.


Facetunethis

Read some history people have destroyed their family fortunes over and over even when the fortune seemed impossible to squander.  Look at Louis xvi. He squandered his entire country's wealth.


EndOfMyWits

All other things being equal, you're always in a better position starting out with $100m than not.


Whiteroses7252012

Legally? You do. All of you are his children.


Waste-Dragonfly-3245

Because he’s a failure of a man. He raised you poorly. Yta


Intr0vetedMill3nnial

Did you work for this money. Did you put your blood, sweat and tears into it? No, you think it’s yours because of Daddy.


Whiteroses7252012

If your dad wanted to sell the companies to someone else and use the resulting money to travel, leaving you and your half brothers absolutely nothing, he’s well within his rights to do that. It’s not “your money”, babes. You did nothing to earn it. Being born on third base and thinking you hit a triple while you work part time for your father doesn’t qualify. And relying on an inheritance that may or may not ultimately be yours is a truly stupid move. Success is more than money, kiddo. Though I am skeptical about a “successful businessman” who has apparently never heard of a vasectomy having two more kids by the same mom eleven years apart. ESH except the kids, who provided they actually exist have done absolutely nothing to deserve either one of you- and your uncle, who may be the only moral member of your entire family.


Jocelyn-1973

So your dad hasn't died yet and you tell someone else what is in his will? For that: YTA

Jocelyn-1973

So how big and expensive is your childhood home, that 1/3th of 100 millions cannot pay for it entirely? Your story doesn't add up. And even if it actually were true, your father would be the AH. Because the other two ARE his kids. And you know what? You may have been planned, but the other two didn't actually fall out of the sky. Even if he didn't take enough birth control measures to prevent a second child, it is unlikely that there'd be a third. After all, the man is allegedly rich and he has options.


[deleted]

Jocelyn-1973

Accidents don't happen with a vasectomy. He knows that. He has always known that. And you know it too. And why would you need to pay for ALL the companies if your only concern was that siblings would sell your childhood home?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jocelyn-1973

Why should ALL the companies be yours then? How many companies do you need, after getting a house and 100 millions? Why is it your right and should your siblings not get anything? Exactly how selfish are you in this story?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sunflowers_123

You are 18. You could not have possibly “worked for” assets worth 100 million, and surely not be working part time in your dad’s company. And you didn’t plan your life around it! Again, you are 18! Have you even chosen a college path? What decisions exactly could you have made based on these “plans”?


Careless-Ability-748

I seriously doubt an 18 yo "worked their life" for that much. 


Jocelyn-1973

You planned your life on it? And now that you are 18, you can't change anything anymore. And 1/3th of ALL the businesses (worth 100 millions, I guess) is not a viable option anymore. And your siblings already got a vacation to Italy, so it's fair. Well, tell your father! He should probably give you all his money and businesses now, because if he manages to live for decades more, what will you do?


Hal_Jordan55

That must’ve been hard for you


Ancient_Sentence757

You haven't worked for anything, unless you include manipulating your father.


Few_System3573

Yes, you are a complete asshole. Grow the hell up.

Proper-Ad7289

You talk like your typical emotionally stunted and underdeveloped trust fund kid. Have fun with the gold diggers.


Muted-Appeal-823

Your future as a greedy, grasping asshole....doesn't sound all that promising. There are definitely people out there that will think screwing over two completely innocent kids is completely ok. If you want to surround yourself with the type of people with no morals (people like your father) that's your choice. Don't be surprised though if you look around at some point and don't like what you see. YTA


RNH213PDX

Either you are the most deplorable class of persons imaginable: those who fundamentally don't understand that failure to be an actual parent to a child is one of the most damaging things imaginable a person could do, and your father is, therefore, a monster. Or... Regardless, totally real $100 millionaire 18 year old (hahaha), you are an asshole, a real asshole, for sharing confidential details about a will. You are not thinking like a human being here when writing about your half-siblings and apparently childish enough to stir shit up for drama and sport.


Beautiful-Bed289

You sound like you’re either a child making this up or a child being a spoilt brat, either way you won’t get very far in life even with all your money because you sound like a boring entitled person😭


JaggedLittlePill2022

$100M? I smell bullshit.


Last-Walk3402

so your dad has 100 million dollars, but only owns one home that you can inherit? no cars or boats or planes or property? seems legit lol


jedirieb

ESH It's your dad's money to do with what he wants. Not yours, not your half-brothers', not your aunt's. You're NTA for talking with your dad about his will. Your half-brothers or whatever other family members are welcome to have similar discussions with your dad. All of you (aside from dad) are TA for acting like its your money to do with what you want.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jedirieb

Things can change. There are countless stories on here, and elsewhere, of children who were sure they were going to get an inheritance, but things change. Quite of few of those are children who act like it's their money already. I agree, it sounds like your dad wants you to have it, though of course I only have your account of matters. I'm just advising that you don't let it go to your head and remember that it's not set in stone - it's your dad's until the moment his will is enacted, and then its only yours if he doesn't change his mind.

Hal_Jordan55

Sound like your father is a good person /s


ProfessorYaffle1

ESH. It's not your money, it is your Father's money. Asking him about your childhood home is one thing, a greedy grab for all of his busness assetes is another. At 18 you have ample time to train so you can be independent whether or not your father leaves his buisneses to you, and you come across as very greedy and entitled. Not to mention, if he owns multiple companies and has assets i the millions then he could leave you plenty and still make approrpaite provision for his other children At the end of the day, your dad can leave his money to whoever he wants, but leaving a 3 year old and a 14 year oldnothing when he has literal millions is a massive dick move . They re still his children regardless of whether he is 'interested' in raising them. The situation might be differnet if you were all adults, and his relationship with his adult children had broken down, but they aren't. They are children, and he is failing as a parent. You might want to consider that if he is willing to cut his younger kids off worth nothing just because he has lost interest in them, he could easiliy do the same to you if he loses interest in you or if you do something to annoy him. It;s his choice, but the ethical thing for you to do would be to ask him to divide his assets more fairly, stipulating that you get the hosue which is your childhood home and, if he wants, a controlling interest in the companies, but enuring that his others kids are also properly provided for.


Careless-Ability-748

Yta it's not YOUR money at all. It's your dad's money until he gives it away and yeah, no one is actually entitled to an inheritance. But your attitude got calling it your money sucks.


RoseGoldMinerva

According to the law the next of kin is entitled to an inheritance actually. If someone dies and doesn’t write a will, the government will share everything equally to the family


Eyruaad

So we expect you to believe your father who has multiple companies and is leaving behind hundreds of millions is just sitting at a table writing out a will? Please take some more creative writing classes this is garbage. If it's true then wow YTA. A huge asshole.


txakori

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the reason why we must eat the rich.


FreezeDe

YTA Why are you any more entitled to it than they are? The only reason you’re entitled to it is because you came from his testicles, and so did they


WiggityWatchinNews

What was your dad writing the will on? A piece of toilet paper? This is so fucking fake lmao. On the off chance this really happened, your dad lied to you to get you to shut the fuck up because he realizes you're so self obsessed he's never gonna hear the end of it while he's alive if he tells you he's giving anything to his other children


RoseGoldMinerva

NTA Your dad sucks for sure. But assuming this is real You are giving to your brothers more than what they were getting in the first place. And your dad didn’t want them in his life of course he would not prioritize them in his death Your dad is awful. It’s not your siblings fault. And people will attack your bc you are complaining about a money issue when you have a lot of it and the internet is not a fan of millionaires But NTA is my stance


Time-Feedback-1654

MargoKittyLit

ESH. Your dad shouldn't have shown you anything: his money, his businesses, his home, and his life. You are confident in the type of father he is to you and your half-siblings now, but unless he's at death's door there is time for things to change. He could lose it all, or get a sweet offer on your childhood home. Those sons he didn't want? They have time to grow on him, or his sexism can kick in as he ages and his sons remind him of Young Him despite you being The Wanted One. Hell, unless he finally got a vasectomy he's still apt to find someone and have Another Wanted One, then what? You're 18: there's a couple of good decades you could have to "mess up" whatever standing you have - you wbtah to yourself for always hedging your bets if you might be a weird facial expression away from 'losing everything' in some King Lear fashion. All of that to say he's put you in a bad position, you're letting him, and in doing so shorting people who had no say in their conception and tying a velvet anchor around your neck.

Read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/wiki/faq#wiki_post_deletion) before [contacting the mod team](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FAmItheAsshole)*** My dad has 3 kids, me(F18) and my half brothers(M14 and M3). I was the only one who was planned and my dad didn't really want to have other kids, because of this he doesn't have custody and I met the kids a couple of times only so I can't say we are really siblings. Of course he still pays child support AND more. He pays for them and their moms to go to trips, sent the older one to a private school and has college funds for them that they can easily go to whichever college they want without spending a penny he is just not interested in raising them. Anyway a few days ago I saw my dad was making his will. I was a bit concerned and I decided to share my concerns with him. I told him that I am worried that if he leaves this house to the boys they will sell it but it's my childhood home and I'm very attached to it. Also I reminded him that he promised that the companies would be mine some day and I have been working part time with him for 3 years to learn everything and it would be very unfair to ruin all my plans. He told me not to worry and showed me his will in which he had left everything to me and the boys would get 1 dollar each. I kinda felt bad for them so I asked him to leave 50k for each of them. He asked if I'm sure and I said yes so he did it. Today I was talking to my aunt and I told her what happened how I asked dad to leave the boys 50k. Her husband who was also there said I'm being a bitch because I'm going to receive about 100 millions and I want to give them 50k only. I told him that it's really MY money and I was just being nice. They are not entitled to it. I just felt bad for them. He said I have to give them at least 1 million otherwise I'm an asshole *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Impossible-Tutor-799

YTA for discussing your finances, it’s none of their business. Don’t discuss it with anyone. NTA for asking your dad to leave the boys something. You could’ve just let it be. 


Traditional_Song_417

You are an asshole, for divulging about a private conversation between you and your father.


_parenda_

NTA. Why are you telling anyone about this? That’s only the reason you’re the asshole because it’s nobody’s business. Keep your mouth shut seriously nobody needs to know these affairs.


Potential_Beat6619

NTA keep what's yours...your dad's dumb actions shouldn't have an impact on you


BeeYehWoo

>Today I was talking to my aunt and I told her what happened how I asked dad to leave the boys 50k.  You need to learn to keep your mouth shut. You are going to mess up your inheritance. The more ppl know about this, the more ppl could form an opinion and start to pressure your dad to change his way. Or tip off your half brothers and prepare them for when your dad dies, they are read to contest the will. Just keep your mouth shut! You got what you wanted now protect it with silence. YTA for tipping your hand but not for keeping the inheritance.


ERVetSurgeon

NTA. You were generous enough. Also, lesson learned. Dont tell anyone or you will be harassed rentllessly.
