I'm in a difficult situation with inheritance and need some advice. I'm a 33M from an ultra-wealthy family, standing to inherit over $50M as of today’s value, which will grow further with the stock market. I am celibate, have no interest in being with a woman, and I value my independence and being in full control of my life. Previously, I considered having children, but I've embraced a child-free life.

However, my mother recently informed me that I won't inherit my share unless I have kids. This condition really upsets me as it challenges the way I envisioned I would live my life. I am currently childfree, but I am considering becoming a single father through surrogacy. I could afford to hire help to assist in raising the child. I’m not opposed to raising a child on my own as a single father if it’s the only way to get my inheritance.

How exactly do I handle this? Would single father surrogacy be the best idea?

Edit: For anyone thinking I can fool my mom, it won’t work. She’s the matriarch of our family and a very shrewd woman, I need to have a biological child and raise it with her in its life.
