The 53-year-old actor opened up to Candis Magazine about his thought process when it comes to the huge fortune he has accumulated during his Hollywood career. "Isn't there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you've failed?" Craig asked. He added, "I think Andrew Carnegie [an American industrialist] gave away what in today's money would be about $11 billion, which shows how rich he was because I'll bet he kept some of it, too."
Indeed, the blue-eyed actor shared that he hopes to donate some of the $260 million he will make having played James Bond and Benoit Blanc, among other characters. The star noted, "But I don't want to leave great sums to the next generation. I think inheritance is quite distasteful."
Ultimately, Craig opined on the topic of wealth, "My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go."
