Guy Fieri revealed what it will take for his sons to inherit his multi-million dollar fortune.
“Shaq said it best,” the “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” star told Fox News on Wednesday. “Shaq said, ‘If you want this cheese, you got to get two degrees.’”
“Well, my two degrees mean, you know, postgraduate.”
Fieri shares Hunter, 27, and Ryder, 17, with his wife, Lori, 52. He also helped raise his sister Morgan’s 22-year-old son, Jules, following her 2011 death.
He warned the three to expect him “to die” broke unless they follow his conditions.
“I told my boys, ‘None of this that we’ve been . . . that I’ve been building are you going to get unless you come and take it from me,’” the celebrity chef explained.
“I’ve told them the same thing my dad told me,” he added. “My dad says, ‘When I die, you can expect that I’m going to die broke, and you’re going to be paying for the funeral.’”
While his children are on track, the Food Network star’s youngest son, Ryder, isn’t too thrilled about embarking on the years-long journey.
“‘Dad, this is so unfair. I haven’t even gone to college yet, and you’re already pushing that I’ve got to get an MBA? Can I just get through college?’” Fieri, 55, recalled the high school senior recently telling him.
Meanwhile, his oldest son Hunter is almost to the finish line as he completes his master’s in business at the University of Miami.

As for Fieri’s nephew, Jules is in Los Angeles, Calif., working toward his law degree.
“Jules is in the music industry down in LA. He’s in the law program at Loyola Marymount right now,” the chef said. “If you’re going to be a big-time entertainment agent, you need to have that law background. So he’s doing that.”
The cooking mogul’s career continues to expand as he recently signed a $100 million three-year contract with the Food Network in November — just years after signing a $80 million deal in 2021, per Variety.
Fieri, who’s reported net worth is $70 million, previously gushed over his success, admitting he never expected to garner a massive platform.
“I’m so appreciative. I really feel fortunate,” he told People earlier this month. “I started at the Food Network almost 17, 18 years ago. And never thought anything like this was ever coming my way.”
