How did Gwyneth Paltrow grow up so rich

She worked very steadily in both film and televisions since the early 70's.

[quote]B-level TV producer

St. Elsewhere was a gigantic hit at the time. I bet this is where the money came from.

Believe it or not, NYC real estate wasn't always so pricey. They probably bought that in 1984 for $500K, which her parents could afford.

I also think Blythe's father was a banking executive who died a few years before - so she had some inheritance.

Gwyneth's family has been making vagina scented candles since the 1920's.

Nah, but I think her grandfather was a steel tycoon.

Did either of her parents come from money or an inheritance!

Look out, boys!!!

Bruce Paltrow's parents founded Paltrow Steel

Bruce Paltrow produced three seasons of The White Shadow before St. Elsewhere.

So he wasn't a tycoon, but TV showrunner money allows you to afford real estate.

Plus, Blythe worked steadily in the theatah and films.

R6 - you act like that's a known company. It was a pipe and metal company - most likely scrap metal.

Supposedly they did have a house in Palm Beach though. And Gwynyth's uncle had a nice estate in Palm Beach - so money does flow in that family.

But Blythe wasn't from the other side of the tracks either. She went to boarding school, so you can presume there was some family wealth on her side as well.

Fucking Gwynyth's charmed life makes me sick.

Gwynnie made money the old-fashioned way. Blow jobs for a quarter in middle school.

Executive producers made $1 million a year in the mid-'80s.

Well she’s ugly. All that ‘Patrician beauty’ talk for someone who looks like a raw boned Appalachian.

Poor Fernanda Montenegro was raised in a favela with no plumbing or electricity.

The combined income of her parents was big- that’s how- duh.

R11 I think Gwyneth is half Jewish as well. So she's not 100% WASP.

She belongs in prison.

Couldn't Bruce and Blythe have put any money towards fixing the boy? He looks like a wall-eyed toad.
