Tyson Fury has amassed a huge personal fortune thanks to his illustrious boxing career but there's no guarantee his children will receive it in the future.
Fury, 37, is one of the most recognisable faces in British boxing having held multiple world titles in the heavyweight division.
According to The Sun, the 'Gypsy King' is now worth an astonishing £162m - largely thanks to several money-spinning title fights including a memorable trilogy against Deontay Wilder and back-to-back defeats to former undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
However, both Fury and his wife Paris have no intention of giving their children silver spoon treatment for the whole of their lives.

Fury has previously confirmed that all seven of his kids including eldest daughter Venezuela, who recently got engaged at the age of 16, will have to make their own way in the world.
"I want my kids to get their own money, do their own things and be their own people," said Fury (via The Mirror).
"I don't believe in just giving all your money to your kids but it will make them weak, spoiled and not value anything, worthless. They’ll end up getting to 35 and never having done anything for themselves, apart from spending dad's money.
"They'll be middle-aged looking in the mirror and being disappointed. If I buy my son a Lamborghini as soon as he passes his test, he'll probably kill himself in it.
"But he also wouldn't appreciate it. But if he works hard and gets himself a 2004 Corsa, he will be outside washing the c*** out every day, hoovering it top to bottom. And I will be proud of him because he has done it himself."
"I will help them with business deals and investments," Fury added. "But I am not a person who will just give everyone an easy life. Hard work, dedication and sacrifice are what make people strive for different things."
Fury has seven children with his wife Paris; Venezuela, Prince John James, Prince Tyson II, Valencia, Prince Adonis, Athena and Prince Rico Paris.
At the weekend, Paris shared on Instagram that Venezuela is now engaged to her partner Noah Prince, who himself is an amateur boxer.
She wrote: "Congratulations to @venezuelafuryofficial and @7noahprice on getting engaged.
"Both only young, but when you know, you know! Still in shock but very happy for you both. Me and your Dad couldn’t be prouder xxx."
Venezuela is set to continue living at home with her parents until she's married to Prince.
In the 2023 documentary about his life Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King, Fury confirmed that his family would stick to the traditional values of their Irish Traveller community.
He said: "The boys will take a wife and make their family and the girls will take a husband and make their family.
"Until they take a husband or wife they won't be leaving the home and I wouldn't want them to."
