Weird or Prudent? My Son Has Only ONE Pair of Shoes – Will Smith

American actor, producer cum singer, Will Smith in a chat with Esquire Magazine recently revealed that his sixteen year old son, Jaden Smith (who also an actor and very rich, by the way) has only a pair of shoes because he chose not to be a slave to money…Read chat below:

According to Will:

“You never lose the mentality. It’s such a strange thing. Jaden, my sixteen-year-old, he has one pair of shoes. He has three pair of pants and he has five shirts. Total.
He has refused to be a slave to money. I so respect that. The younger generation is less of an ownership generation, anyway. And it’s such an interesting thing to watch, because I came from a middle-class background, but, you know, our lights and gas would be cut off from not paying the bill.
I grew up in a house where you would need the kerosene heaters in the winter in case the bills didn’t get paid. And he’s from the complete other end of the spectrum. And it’s so interesting to me that from growing up in that space, he could see the need for things in a way that he’s rejecting.
He’s like, “I’m not gonna let myself need things in that way” — but I would like him to get another pair of shoes.”

Lol – One pair of shoes? Who does that???
