If your son was a super wealthy multi-millionaire and lived in LA or New York, but he wasn’t famous and wasn’t close to your family members (brothers, nephews, nieces, etc.), would you tell them? (sopuli.xyz)

Me personally, a lie by omission is still a lie, and hiding and keeping secrets from your family is wrong. I get that the son in this scenario could keep his wealth private from his extended family members if their situation is like mine—I only see my family, like my uncle and cousins, once a year, and that’s it, and we barely talk on the phone or social media. I don’t even follow them. But if my son got wealthy somehow, it would be morally wrong not to tell them.
