Not a dime on my back is Daniel Craig's motto! The 53-year-old "Skyfall" actor who has been able to earn a net worth of $160 million dollars, stated he does not intend to give any of his money to his children when he passes.
In an interview with UK's Candis Magazine, he told stated he felt inheriting money was “distasteful.”
“I don’t want to leave great sums to the next generation. I think inheritance is quite distasteful,” he stated. “My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go.”
He continued, “Isn’t there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you’ve failed?”
Craig went on to note that back in 1919 industrialist Andrew Carnegie gave away billions of dollars before his death, which “shows how rich he was because I’ll bet he kept some of it too.”
Craig, shares 29-year-old daughter Ella with his ex-wife Fiona Loudon, to whom he was married from 1992 to 1994. The British actor wed Rachel Weisz in 2011, and they welcomed a daughter together in 2018.
