Daniel Craig's inheritance philosophy
It seemed odd for an actor known for being private to expose his financial issues to the public. The actor finds it "distasteful" to leave heirs a lump sum of money. He said:
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.
The actor added:
Leave the children enough so that they can do anything, but not enough that they can do nothing.
Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda had a similar parental ideology until their separation. Their children were to each receive a $10 million inheritance. Who are Daniel Craig's children?
