Queen Latifah
"I don’t know that money really changed my life ... because I already had a very rich life. Money just enhanced all of that. I knew when I could buy a car with my own money that it was a big thing. I started paying my mom’s rent, come home and take care of stuff, or buy a round of drinks. I couldn’t really do that before … I was pretty young. When I was 21 I bought my mom our first house that we owned. That was pretty exciting. It was a beautiful contemporary and she still lives there. That was pretty exciting and nice to be able to do. Or buying a nice car ... but I had so many friends and family. Nobody ever tried to take advantage of me, everybody just comes out and starts hitting you up for money, nobody really did that to me in my family, too much. It didn’t ruin it all for me either--it took a minute for that to happen."
