Summary
- Leah Wood, artist and Ronnie Wood's daughter, is happy without inherited wealth.
- She emphasizes the need for hard work, even with famous parents.
- Wood lives a normal life, managing mortgages and a stone wall repair.
Leah Wood, an accomplished artist and the eldest daughter of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, has stated she is grateful her father never bequeathed her any part of his estimated £150 million fortune. The 47-year-old artist highlighted that being the child of a rock star did not exempt her from typical life struggles, including managing mortgages and undertaking home maintenance. Wood recounted her experiences, which included periods of touring with the band and a past career as a model for Vivienne Westwood, as well as performing with her own band.
Currently residing in the Northamptonshire countryside with her investment banker husband, Jack MacDonald, and their two children, Leah Wood maintains a busy schedule. She operates a studio from her garden, creating and selling acrylic paintings of blossoms for approximately £4,000 each. Wood emphasized that she and her husband have worked diligently to build their life, covering expenses like their mortgage and home repairs. She views her father's approach to inheritance as beneficial, preventing a lack of incentive to strive for her own achievements.
