What Ben Affleck told his 13 year old when he asked for $6000 sneakers

Ben Affleck made sure his 13-year-old understood that fortune is earned, not inherited, after a pair of Dior Air Jordan 1 shoes caught Sam's eye at the Got Sole sneaker convention last week, telling him quite simply: 'You're broke.'

In a red carpet interview at SXSW this weekend, Affleck, who has a reported $150 million net worth, explained why he turned down the request. 

'He's like "We have the money,"' he said. 'I'm like "I have the money, you're broke!"'

'That's what happens when you tell a motherf***er they have to mow a lawn. All of a sudden they don't want those shoes,' Affleck, who shares his son's love of sneakers, joked.

Affleck added that 'there's always some grift why I need to be buying... I'm like, man, you do not need thousand dollar shoes.'
