"My kids are living a really privileged life, and they don’t even know it. And they’ll never know it, because this is the only one that they’ll know. I’m not setting up a trust for them. We’ll end up giving our money away to charity and to various things."
Clearly, Kutcher and Kunis have an interesting approach when it comes to what they spend their money on. As we’ve seen in the past, spoiling their children isn’t the biggest priority and in fact, it is much the opposite as they want to instill a healthy work ethic in them from a young age.

Along with investments, we’ll look at the wine company Kunis recently launched, along with other purchases such as cars and fancy shoes for an entire high school cross country team. Enjoy folks, let’s get started!

Monica discussed her excitement with CNN;
"I've been following him for a long [time] and I know about all the work that he does for the kids and everything, and I thought 'Come on, let's give it a shot.

Mila briefly explained the new business venture via Twitter;
“100% of the proceeds will go to a handful of charities that we have done homework on, vetted out to make sure that they do what they’re supposed to, their outcome is visible, and so we took the guessing game out in the case you want to help people.”

7 Pricey Garage
Hot Cars ran an entire article on all the rides that can be found in Ashton’s garage – along with those from his past. He’s going green these days with his Tesla, though that isn’t always the case.
Kutcher has dropped some serious cash on some speedy supercars which aren’t exactly great for the environment, such as the Ferrari California, Impala SS, Fisker Karma, and a slew of other rides.

Kunis dropped quite the bombshell while speaking to Conan. According to the celeb, she wasn’t dishing out major bucks for her wedding band and in total, she revealed that the cost came out to $190. E Online elaborated;
"I wanted the thinnest possible platinum band. I mean, you can't see it, but it's super, super thin." While the camera zoomed in on her ring, she recalled being appalled at the price of Tiffany and Co. wedding bands. I was like, 'They're how much? This is astronomical. So, I went on Etsy and I was like, '$90?' I was like, 'Buy now!' Ashton's was $100, so technically his wedding band was a little bit more expensive. My engagement ring is beautiful, but I don't ever wear it. This ring, I'm like, 'It's $90!' It's great. That person on Etsy had no clue whose ring they were making, but they were wonderful and very nice and polite and generous."
5 More Real Estate
Now he isn’t flipping houses at a similar rate comparable to his good pal Ellen, however, Kutcher has turned a generous profit on real estate in the past. After buying his new home alongside Kunis, Kutcher sold his bachelor pad for $12 million, turning a large profit in return.
He’s planning to do the same with his current Beverly Hills mansion, making a quick buck off of it.
4 Expensive Vacations
They love to indulge on pricey vacations such as on destinations like in the south of France. Although they drop some serious coin, the experience at times doesn’t live up. Kunis recalled the disastrous honeymoon, which included the couple’s new RV falling apart on them. Kunis relieves the moment with Travel and Leisure;
"We almost died on the side of the road when Apple Maps took us on a road … It wasn't a road, it was a fire road on the side of a mountain. We all had to jump out of the vehicle and walk for like three miles while my father-in-law drove the van and Ashton navigated him over gigantic boulders because there had just been a massive flood. Guys, this was like, day two."
3 Investing In Uber & Airbnb Early
"You're not even actually taking on the taxi companies--you're taking on the notion of owning a car. That's crazy. And that's why it has the velocity and potential that it has."
That was Kutcher’s mindset as he dropped some major bucks on Uber. He turned a massive profit alongside his firm A-Grade investments. That wasn’t their only major play, they also took part in Airbnb early on. Thanks to these types of investments, Kutcher might be on his way to billionaire status one day as he continues to see his stocks rise.
2 A-Grade Investments
Kutcher’s greatest investment of all might be his firm, A-Grade Investments. He took $30 million and turned it into $250 million according to Medium. When it comes to Kutcher’s investments, he’s always looking to the future, and how technology can further assist us all;
“I really think that technology has the greatest potential to accelerate happiness of most things in the world. The companies that will ultimately do well are the companies that chase happiness. If you find a way to help people find love, or health or friendship, the dollar will chase that.”
1 The Little Things
We tend to forget but Ashton and Mila are just like all of us, spending their money on the simple things like groceries – though the only catch, they’re always photographed while doing so.
They’ll also dish out when it comes to their children, though they have admitted that they refuse to spoil them – which is a breath of fresh air, especially when assessing others in Hollywood.
