I won’t leave anything for my children — James Bond actor, Daniel Craig

British actor, Daniel Craig,  popularly known for his role as James Bond in the 007 movies, has said he will not leave his children any form of inheritance he made from his acting career as he finds the idea of inheritance “distasteful”.

Craig who has amassed a fortune over his acting career, portraying James Bond and appearing in other movies told Candis magazine that he plans on giving a lot of his money away rather than passing all of his money to his children.

The 007 star, who is worth an estimated $160 million said: “Isn’t there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you’ve failed? I think Andrew Carnegie gave away what in today’s money would be about 11 billion dollars, which shows how rich he was because I’ll bet he kept some of it too.

“I don’t want to leave great sums to the next generation. I think inheritance is quite distasteful. My philosophy is: get rid of it or give it away before you go.”

Daniel Craig is one of the most successful actors in recent years, having played James Bond in four movies so far with a fifth one coming up. In 2012 alone, the year “Skyfall” released, he grossed $951 million at the box office — the fourth highest of any actor that year.

The actor was paid a reported $17 million for “Skyfall” plus box office bonuses. He was then paid a reported $25 million for starring in his upcoming fifth Bond movie “No Time To Die,” which will be his last Bond movie.

Craig was also paid considerable amounts for other notables movies including “Cowboys & Aliens,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” and “Dream House.” He starred in the latter movie with his wife Rachel Weisz, who is a successful actor in her own right, having starred in “The Mummy,” “The Mummy Returns,” “The Favourite,” and, most recently, “Black Widow.” She also won an Oscar in 2006 for “The Constant Gardener. The couple have one daughter together, while they also both have one child with respective ex-partners
