Daniel Craig, the famous actor known for his role as James Bond, has revealed that he does not plan on leaving his multimillion-dollar fortune to his children.

Despite earning hefty paychecks from his Hollywood career, including a reported $25 million for the upcoming “No Time To Die” film and a reported $100 million for the sequels to “Knives Out,” Craig believes in a different approach to inheritance.

In an interview with Candis Magazine, Craig shared his philosophy on wealth distribution, stating that he doesn't intend to have much money left to pass on to his children when he passes away.

He questions the notion that dying rich equates to success, citing Andrew Carnegie as an example.

Carnegie gave away a significant portion of his wealth, which, in today's money, would amount to approximately $11 billion.

The actor finds it “distasteful” to leave large sums of money to his heirs.

With two children, a 29-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old daughter, and his wife, Rachel Weisz, having a teenage son, Craig believes in getting rid of or donating his wealth before his time comes.

While a representative for Craig did not respond to CNBC Make It's request for comment, it is evident that the actor shares a similar perspective with other wealthy individuals who have publicly expressed their intentions regarding inheritance.

Warren Buffett, the renowned investor with a fortune exceeding $100 billion, has long believed in redirecting his vast wealth towards philanthropic causes rather than solely benefiting his children.

Buffett advised leaving enough for children to pursue their interests but not so much that they become idle.

He stated that his adult children actively engage in philanthropy, combining both financial contributions and personal involvement.

It seems that these high-profile figures share a common belief that excessive wealth should be utilized for the greater good rather than hoarded within family legacies.

By choosing to give away their fortunes or invest in philanthropic endeavors, they hope to inspire a sense of purpose and responsibility in their children.

In a world where material possessions often hold great significance, these individuals challenge the notion that wealth guarantees success or happiness.

They recognize the value of utilizing resources to create positive change in society, emphasizing the importance of leaving a meaningful legacy beyond monetary wealth.

So, while continues to captivate audiences with his on-screen performances
