Gwyneth Paltrow is giving her children "stock" as graduation presents so they can learn how to manage their own money.

The Goop founder's 21-year-old daughter Apple graduated from Vanderbilt University on Friday (08.05.26) and Gwyneth has now revealed she's considering an unusual gift to mark the occasion as her son Mose, 20, is also set to finish his course at Brown University in the next few years.

In a question and answer session released via her Goop newsletter, Gwyneth was asked to name the "best graduation gifts" and she replied: "We're thinking about giving the kids some stock so that they can get involved in managing and asking questions about the markets.

"And maybe something physical to commemorate it - I have to think about what that is."

Gwyneth was also asked to share the best "motherly advice" she's given to her kids - whose father is Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - and she said: "Just to really be themselves.

"And that if they were being themselves through and through and they disappointed me, that was a good sign, and that it was their job to disappoint me as they were developing their true selves."

When asked if Apple shares any traits with her mother, Gwyneth said: "Apple is already very much like me in this way: She's like an organizing, scheduling fiend. I'm afraid I modeled a not-very-carefree way of living."

In the session, Gwyneth was asked to reveal her summer vacation plans and the Iron Man actress revealed she's going to be heading to Italy for a break with her husband Brad Falchuk and they will also be spending time at their home on Long Island, New York.

It comes after Gwyneth declared she is "one of the original nepo babies" growing up as the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and late producer and director Bruce Paltrow.

Speaking on stage at the 2026 New York Women in Film and Television Muse Awards in March, the Goop founder said: "I was extraordinarily lucky to be given opportunities early on, probably partly because I'm one of the original nepo babies, but I would be lying if I said that that made my path clear.

"There were many moments when the industry made it very plain that women are expected to stay in their lane and to be graceful and quiet and above all to be one thing. And I've never been very good at being one thing."

The 53-year-old actress' mom was in the audience, and Gwyneth took a moment to pay tribute to Blythe, 83, for all the career lessons she has learned from the Meet the Parents star.

She said: "Mom, you showed me what it looks like to commit fully to a craft, to be insanely creative and brave in your choices onstage, and to carry yourself with so much grace, even when sometimes this industry doesn't make it so easy. So thank you."
