Popular James Bond character, Daniel Craig, has maintained that the concept of inheritance is disrespectful and insisted that he would not leave his riches to his children.

The UK Independent, quoting Saga Magazine, reports that the ‘No Time To Die’ actor in an interview last year, insisted that he would not leave his Hollywood riches to his children.

“I don’t want to leave great sums to the next generation,” says Craig who is believed to be worth around $160 million.

Craig has two daughters. The youngest, whom he had with his wife, the actor Rachel Weisz, was born in 2018. His eldest daughter, Ella, is from his previous marriage to Fiona Loudon.

However, the 53-year-old has made it clear in another interview with Candis magazine, by maintaining the stance that inheritance is “distasteful”, adding that he plans to give his money away before he dies.

“Isn’t there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you’ve failed?” he said. “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.”

“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.”
