Daniel Craig, the popular James Bond actor, has revealed that he wouldn’t leave a huge sum of wealth as Inheritance to his children.
Daniel Craig is a Father of two children, daughter Ella with his ex-wife Fiona Loudon, as well as a daughter with wife Rachel Weisz. He also has a teenage stepson, Henry, through Weisz’s previous relationship.
However the 007 star stated that he finds Inheritance distasteful. He also mentioned that; “My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go.”
Asked why he thought that way, he made reference to Andrew Carnegie, the Scottish-born US industrialist and one of the wealthiest men in history.
He 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, 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.” Mr Craig added.
