Inheriting money is "distasteful"
James Bond actor Daniel Craig has revealed he won't be passing on his millions to his children and he plans to "get rid of it" before he dies.
The British actor, 53, has a net worth of £116 million but he believes inheriting money is "distasteful" and has admitted that he's hoping to "give away" most of his fortune.
Speaking to
Candis Magazine, Craig said: "Isn't there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you've failed? I think Andrew Carnegie [an American industrialist] 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.
"But 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."
Craig has three daughters; one with his current wife Rachel Weisz and another with his ex Fiona Lourdon.
One wonders how they feel about all this.
