Madonna is a true dichotomy. On one hand, she’s this controversial, ground-breaking anti-establishment icon. On the other, Madonna’s a super-strict mom of six who runs a tight parental ship. But despite her multi-million dollar bank balance, she’s determined to ensure her kids learn the value of money. Madonna’s oldest daughter, Lourdes Leon, told Interview that her mom locks her closets to prevent her kids from borrowing her clothes.
And Lourdes shared that she paid her own way through college. “We don’t get any handouts in my family. Obviously, I grew up with extreme privilege. There’s no denying that,” Lourdes said. “But I think my mom saw all these other kids of famous people, and she was like, ‘My kids are not going to be like this.'” Lourdes admitted she was glad to become financially independent, though, as it freed her from her “control freak” mom.

Luckily, Madonna’s kids have all inherited her work ethic, so they’ll never have problems supporting themselves. Per Us Weekly, Lourdes, 27, is a successful model, musician, and fashion designer. Her half-brother Rocco Ritchie, 23, is a model, actor, and artist. David Banda, 18, is a dancer, comedian, on-fleek fashion icon, and aspiring soccer star. Mercy James, 17, is a passionate photographer who shot an ad campaign for Stella McCartney’s kids’ collection featuring her half-sisters, Stella and Estere Mwali. The twins are only 11, but they’re already showing off their performing skills, joining their mom on stage during her celebration tour.
