Craig who is reportedly worth 160 million stated, “Isn’t there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you’ve failed?

“I think Andrew Carnegie 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.”

He also stated, “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.”

Fans have been anticipating his final James Bond film “No Time To Die”  which is set to be released September 30 according to NME, but due to the pandemic of course it has been pushed back multiple times

He had this to say about the final bond film approaching,“two years ago I took Barbara to my favourite Japanese restaurant in New York,” he shared with Total Film. “I tried to wine and dine her.

“At that point Daniel said he wasn’t doing another one, so we spit-balled all the potential new Bonds – that was exciting. I just told her what I loved about Bond and what it meant to me growing up. And just that I’d be honoured if they’d consider me for the next one.”
