Vivian Musk Chooses A Modest Life


Listen Later

Elon Musk’s daughter says she doesn’t want the billionaire life. She lives with roommates in L.A., pays her own bills, and plans to go back to college. The internet has questions.

Vivian Jenna Wilson, 21, is defining herself outside her father’s shadow. In a new profile, she says she has zero interest in being “superrich.” She shares an apartment with three roommates in Los Angeles because it is cheaper, and she is working out a return to college focused on languages. That choice clashes with what most people assume about the family of the world’s richest man, which is why it grabbed headlines today. We look at the reporting, the quotes, and the subtext.

First, the facts. Vivian tells The Cut she manages her own finances, wants stability over status, and values independence. People summarized it simply: no desire to be super rich, roommates by choice, and plans for school. Livemint echoed the modest-life angle and her focus on education. We also touch on the strained family dynamics that have been public since her legal name and gender change in 2022. Then we zoom out. Fame without wealth. Growing up near extreme money. Why opting out resonates in 2025. We compare this to other children of celebrities choosing distance from legacy wealth and discuss how media incentives shape the narrative around Vivian.

Finally, we look forward. What happens if she models, studies abroad again, or leans into languages and gaming culture. The story is less about Musk and more about a young adult choosing agency. That is why it matters.

Do you think opting out of family money is empowering or unrealistic in 2025?
