Gwyneth Paltrow: I was a rich kid, until I was 18

Gwyneth Paltrow wants you to know she’s a self-made woman. “People think, ‘She’s just a rich kid.’ Until I was 18, I was. Then I was broke,” the 43-year-old goop founder said in the March issue of Glamour magazine.

“I’ve never taken a dime off my parents,” the mother of two revealed. “I’m completely self-made … I went to UC Santa Barbara, and when I quit to try to be an actress, my dad [Bruce Paltrow] was like, ‘That’s great, but I’m not gonna help you.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, right.’ And he was like, ‘No, I’m not.’ So I got an apartment with a roommate; I worked as a hostess at a restaurant; I would scrounge quarters to buy Starbucks — and walk there to save gas. I remember once asking my dad for money, like, ‘Please, I’m really stuck. Can you help?’ And he said, ‘You’re more than welcome to come over for dinner.’ That was it. Those were the days. Enough to know the value of money.”


As someone who has struggled financially, Paltrow can’t deal with complaints about the high-priced items on her lifestyle website. “Sometimes I’ll get annoyed if someone’s like, ‘goop is so expensive.’ I’m like, ‘Have you looked at the website? Have you seen the range of price points? ’Cause we sell things that are $8,’” she ranted. A survey of the site delivered home items ranging from $35 to $750, while handbags range from $58 to $2,000.

“I’m like, ‘If you want to f–k with me, bring your A-game,” she added. “At least have all your information.’ Once in a while, if I’m exhausted and overwhelmed, I’ll be like, ‘Ugh, that bugs me,’ or, ‘That hurt my feelings.’ But very rarely. I don’t lose sleep over it.”




I am a lioness. I will not cringe for them.

I have no idea what planet this woman lives on....

I'm thinking Uranus, since that's where she pulls most of her ideas from.

Haha love it.

Just when you thought she has said the dumbest thing ever, she outdoes herself. I mean she KNOWS people hate her and has no clue how to even utter a few fake sentences and be pretend nice.

reply

That's got to be fake, it has to be. I know she's deluded, but she would not say something like that, or would she?

reply

Never say "never".

She's such a pretentious twat. When you're struggling, truly struggling, Starbucks is not on your list no matter how many "quarters you save" to get it. Must be a miserable life knowing nobody except your mom and kids are the only people that can stomach you. And they're forced to.

"Hey, you think you've got it bad? There was a time in my life when I couldn't even afford to fly in First Class!".
