Celebrities Who Severed Ties With Their Parents After Achieving Success

Everyone remembers young Macaulay Culkin from ‘Home Alone,’ but what happened after that success is a pretty complicated story. He quickly became the main financial support for his whole family, which led to a really difficult situation. Eventually, he had to go to court to gain control of his $17 million fortune from his parents. By the time he was just 15, he legally emancipated himself, essentially cutting ties with his father, Kit Culkin, and he’s remained estranged from him for decades. It’s a sad turn of events for a kid who brought so much joy to audiences.
