Daniel Craig said he would not leave an inheritance for his children

• Daniel Craig is one of Hollywood’s greatest actors, having played James Bond four times so far.
• Craig received $ 25 million for his fifth Bond film “No Time To Die”.
• But Craig will not leave any of his inheritance to his children because he finds it “unpleasant”.

Daniel Craig is a successful actor, having played James Bond in four films so far and a fifth to come. In 2012 alone, the year “Skyfall” was released, it grossed $ 951 million at the box office, the fourth highest of all actors that year.

But her children will not be left behind by this financial success, it seems.

In an interview with Candis magazine, Craig said he found the idea of ​​leaving his inheritance to his children “quite unpleasant” and therefore would not leave much to his children.

“Isn’t there an old adage that if you die rich you have failed? Craig said (reported via The Telegraph). “I think Andrew Carnegie [an American industrialist from the 1800s] gave what in today’s money would be around $ 11 billion, which shows how rich he was because I bet he kept some of it too. “

Craig continued, “I don’t want to leave big sums for the next generation. I think the inheritance is pretty nasty. My philosophy is to get rid of it or give it away before I go.”

While Craig’s exact net worth is not confirmed at the time of writing, the actor has received $ 17 million for “Skyfall” plus box office bonuses. He then received $ 25 million for starring in his fifth Bond film “No Time To Die”, which will be his last Bond film.

Craig has also received considerable sums of money for other notable films including “Cowboys & Aliens”, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and “Dream House”. He starred in the latter film with his wife Rachel Weisz, who is a successful actress herself, having starred in “The Mummy”, “The Mummy Returns”, “The Favorite” and, most recently, “Black Widow” . “She also won an Oscar in 2006 for“ The Constant Gardener ”.

Craig and Weisz have a daughter together, while they also both have a child with their respective ex-partners. Craig and Weisz are notoriously private, something the Bond actor touched on in his interview with Candis.

“That’s not really what I should be complaining about, as I also have huge advantages in being who I am. But the point is that privacy is an extremely important part of my life, and so ‘being a… celebrity… makes me nervous, actually, ”Craig said. “There is one side of my life that I choose not to share or discuss. I think people’s privacy is private, and that’s it.”
