Quentin Tarantino recently made a statement, saying that his mother would never receive a “penny” from his film successes. The reason behind the same is because of a harsh comment she made to him when he was a kid.

The director, whose net worth is $120 million, opened up about his childhood promise to never give his mother any money from his Hollywood success during a July appearance on the podcast The Moment with Brian Koppelman. On the podcast, he explained how she wasn’t always his biggest supporter, saying she never backed his ambition of becoming a writer.
