‘James Bond’ actor Daniel Craig says his children won’t be receiving his multimillion-dollar fortune

CraigDaniel Craig, who is known for his legendary role as James Bond, is worth a reported $160 million. 

Recently, Daniel Craig gave his two sense about inheritance. According to Craig, he will not leave much money to his children by the time he dies. Craig stated, "Isn't there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you've failed?" Craig further stated, "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." 

According to Daniel Craig, it is "distasteful" to leave heirs massive amounts of money. Craig's philosophy is to get rid of the money or give it away before he goes.
