Daniel Craig, the renowned British actor at 53, is contemplating a unique approach to his amassed fortune, particularly garnered from his iconic portrayal of James Bond.
In a recent interview, Craig revealed his unconventional plan, indicating that he intends to dissipate his wealth entirely before his passing, leaving nothing for his two daughters.
With one daughter from his previous relationship with Fiona Loudon and another, still quite young, from his current marriage to Rachel Weisz, Craig is resolute in his desire to eschew the conventional practice of leaving an inheritance.
He mused on the matter, stating, "Isn't there an old saying that if you die rich, you've failed?" Citing the philanthropic actions of American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who gave away an equivalent of approximately eleven billion dollars, Craig expressed a commitment to avoiding the accumulation of wealth for future generations.
In his conversation with Candis magazine, Craig emphasized that he has not yet outlined the specifics of how he will divest himself of his fortune, but the paramount goal is to ensure there is no residual wealth for his loved ones. His philosophy, he articulated, revolves around the notion that leaving a significant inheritance is distasteful, and he intends to either dispose of everything or generously distribute it before his departure.
Despite the rugged persona often associated with his on-screen roles, Daniel Craig also revealed a softer side in the interview, dispelling misconceptions about his emotional depth. "I'm as emotional as anyone, and I can cry over anything. A good ad can bring tears to my eyes if I'm in the right emotional state," he confessed, highlighting the contrast between his public image and his genuine emotional sensibilities.
