No Inheritance for Anderson Cooper

Anderson Cooper will not be receiving an inheritance from his 90-year-old mother Gloria Vanderbilt, a railroad heiress-turned-successful jeans designer worth a reported $200 million.  And Cooper is okay with this, saying “I don’t believe in inheriting money. I think it’s an initiative sucker. I think it’s a curse.”  Not that Cooper is in need of the money.  He makes a reported $11 million a year with his CNN contract.
