Daniel Craig has amassed a significant fortune from roles in films such as "No Time To Die" and "Glass Onion." He earned $34 million CAD for the former and as much as $135 million CAD for the latter. However, the actor does not intend to give this money to his children.

In an interview with Candis Magazine, Craig expressed his beliefs about inheriting wealth. The actor thinks that dying rich is a failure, so he does not plan to leave his fortune to his two daughters. Instead, he is considering other ways of distributing his wealth.

Not just Daniel Craig

The well-known investor Warren Buffett takes a similar approach. He does not intend to pass all his wealth to his children. Buffett emphasizes that children should have enough to do anything but not so much that they do nothing. Craig and Buffett plan to donate their fortunes to philanthropic causes.

The singer Sting has expressed support for the decision that leads many celebrities not to bequeath their wealth to their children. While famous individuals decide not to pass on their financial assets to their offspring, we observe who else has made the same choice, writes "The Sun."

Culinary celebrity Gordon Ramsay, father of six children, with an estimated fortune of $1 billion CAD last year, earning $150 million CAD annually in 2017, revealed that he won't leave any money to his children, fearing it might demoralize them.
