Renowned actor Daniel Craig has made a bold statement regarding his vast wealth, expressing his decision not to leave his fortune to his offspring as he finds the concept of inheritance distasteful.
In a candid interview with Candis magazine, the esteemed Bond star shared his unconventional views on legacy and wealth distribution.
With a staggering net worth estimated at $160 million (£116 million), Craig challenged the notion of success tied to accumulating riches, citing the famous adage that suggests a wealthy individual who leaves behind substantial wealth upon their demise has essentially failed in some regard.
Drawing inspiration from industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who famously donated the equivalent of 11 billion dollars in today’s currency, Craig highlighted the importance of generous philanthropy over amassing fortunes for future generations.
Expressing his aversion to perpetuating generational wealth, Craig emphasized his belief that inheritance is morally objectionable.
He advocated for a philosophy of either divesting oneself of accumulated wealth during their lifetime or actively distributing it to charitable causes before passing away.
These revelations come amidst eager anticipation from fans awaiting the release of Craig’s final portrayal as James Bond in the upcoming film “No Time To Die,” scheduled for premiere on September 30 after facing multiple delays due to the global pandemic.
The culmination of Craig’s tenure as the iconic spy is poised to be a significant moment for both the actor and the franchise.
Despite Craig’s impending departure from the role, director Cary Joji Fukunaga recently disclosed discussions surrounding potential successors to portray James Bond, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes deliberations within the Bond franchise.
Following a shift in directorial leadership from Danny Boyle to Fukunaga, the prospect of identifying a new Bond became a focal point of consideration.
Recounting a pivotal meeting with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, Fukunaga recounted a moment wherein Craig had expressed his intention to step away from the franchise, prompting exploratory conversations about alternative actors to assume the coveted role.
