Heres Why Madonnas Daughter Lourdes Wont Take Money From Her Mother

March 2024 · 3 minute read

According to Lourdes, Madonna's fun-loving, easy going party vibes don't extend too far past her social media channels, and she's actually a very controlling parent behind the scenes. Lourdes went on to indicate how much she adores and admires her mother, but when it comes to money, she's much happier living life by her own rules, which means she pays her own way.

Of course, she has a huge advantage being the daughter of a global icon, and Lourdes' primary job is being paid to be a model. She's not exactly working the grind at a factory, but she is adamant about finding ways to generate her own income so that mama Madonna can't choose her life's path for her.

Madonna's Controlling Ways

Lourdes recently made some heavy accusations against her famous mom, stating that Madonna is exceptionally controlling, and that sadly, she has inherited this very same trait. She didn't delve too far into the details which explain the different ways that Madonna 'controlled' her, but she did express that she was very hands-on, and had a particular idea of the course that Lourdes' life should take.

Now 25 years old, Lourdes admits that life with Madonna hasn't always been easy, although she does recognize she has grown up with a whole lot of privilege. She says Madonna was a very overbearing parent that meddled with every aspect of her life.

Lourdes even went so far as saying; "My mom is such a control freak, and she has controlled me my whole life,” while venting about how challenging it was to have to financially rely on her mother and abide by her rules.

This led Lourdes to do what many young women her age do — she sought ways to become independent.

Lourdes Becomes Independent

The only way she could escape her mother's clutches was for Lourdes to start paying her own way through life. She indicates that none of Madonna's kids get 'handouts' and so she pursued her own modeling career to start putting her own money aside.

Since she launched her modeling career, Lourdes has been able to pay for her own apartment in New York, and can do anything she pleases as her mother has no financial control. She also shocked fans by saying that she is also paying for her own tuition, in spite of her mother's enormous wealth.

The control issues that Madonna expresses seem to have been so intense that Lourdes told the press, "I needed to be completely independent from her as soon as I graduated high school.”

Most fans assumed that Lourdes was living a luxurious lifestyle that's aligned with that of her mother, but apparently, in spite of enjoying many of the perks that Madonna has to offer, Lourdes funds her own lifestyle, and loves being able to make her own choices.
