When it comes to taking care of children, at times, money is not the end game, and even celebrities who have lots of it find it difficult to be in a parenting position.
Here are seven famous Hollywood celebs who said no to having kids:
1. Seth Rogen
American-Canadian actor Seth Rogen is married to Lauren Miller, and the two have been together for about a decade but have no desire of becoming parents.
According to toofab, the couple believes that without children, they can live on their terms and get some work-related accomplishments out of the wishlist.
2. Jennifer Aniston
Actress Jennifer Aniston has previously revealed that she is completely okay with or without a child.
However, she has not entirely ruled out about becoming a mum in the far future.

4. Dolly Parton
Dolly and her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, have never had children and revealed that it was due to medical issues and Dolly's career goals.
Dolly has, however, taken it upon herself to raise her sibling's kids.
5. Miley Cyrus
According to Bazaar, Miley's decision not to have kids is purely based on environmental reasons.
The young lady does not see the reason for bringing a kid to this ruined planet and, in 2019, said the world had to become better for her to think otherwise.
6. Oprah Winfrey
For the longest time, Oprah has been known to be against having kids as it does not feel right for her.
In a past interview, the TV mogul said that she does not feel like she can communicate with children, hence not sure if she can be a good mother.
7. Christopher Walken
Walken has been married to his wife Georgianne for 50 years, but the two never had children due to their life goals.
He noted in the past that other child actors he knew back then were not able to reach such heights as his because they chose to have kids.
