Daniel Craig, who will be leaving the role of James Bond later this year, also made his plans for his £116 million ($159,128,800) fortune behind.
It could turn out to be a disappointment for his children.
Craig, 53, has two daughters, ages 29 and almost 4. He revealed none of his fortune would be kept in his family for generations.
He said:
"Isn't there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you've failed?"

Craig said he would rather spend it or donate it before his death.
"I don't want to leave great sums to the next generation. I think inheritance is quite distasteful. My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go."

@Independent Well I'm definitely not his child, so if he wants to deposit the millions in my bank account, that'd be great 🤗thanks— Ann McNeill (@Ann McNeill) 1629283573.0

Craig also cited Andrew Carnegie—of Carnegie Hall, Carnegie Libraries and the early 20th century's steel Industry—giving away his fortune before he died.
"I think Andrew Carnegie [an American industrialist] gave away what in today's money would be about 11 billion dollars, which shows how rich he was because I'll bet he kept some of it, too."
