I won't leave my children a 'bundle of money' - O'Leary

Michael O’Leary says he won’t leave his children a “bundle of money” but wants to leave them a “nice house” and up to 250 acres of land to farm.

That is what the Ryanair boss has told the Irish Independent, in an interview published in today’s Farming Independent.

Mr O’Leary told the Independent: “We are determined that the kids are not going to inherit a bundle of money. But I would like them to think that if we’re in the fortunate position that we would be able to pass them on a nice house and they could inherit a farm of land and then they can decide what they want to do with it.”

He said he would like his children to have the option of going into farming and said of the land. “They can set it, they can sell it or they can work it themselves.”

He also told the Independent writer Margaret Donnelly that he has “no intention of retiring”.
