My Billionaire Family Forced Me To Split Expenses 50 50, So I Erased Them From My Life

The year I graduated from college, I suddenly went from a nobody to the long-lost heiress of a billionaire family.

Instead, my biological mother gave me a cold, dismissive once-over and slapped a spreadsheet down in front of me: a strict 50/50 expense plan.

"Riley, you're an adult now. It's time you learned some independence."
