Summary
- Daniel Craig believes dying rich means he failed.
- Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis plan to give money away.
- Celebrities aim to avoid spoiling their children with wealth.
Many prominent parents in Hollywood are actively deciding against establishing trust funds for their offspring, a trend exemplified by actors Daniel Craig and Ashton Kutcher.
Craig, known for his role as James Bond, stated in an interview that he does not intend to leave substantial sums to the next generation. He referenced Andrew Carnegie's historical philanthropy, suggesting that dying wealthy signifies a personal failing. Craig's children include Ella, born in 1992, and a daughter with Rachel Weisz, who he wed in 2011. He is also a stepfather to Henry.
Similarly, Ashton Kutcher, along with his co-star and wife Mila Kunis, has publicly stated their intention to donate their wealth to charitable causes rather than bequeath it to their children, Wyatt and Dimitri. Kutcher explained that their children are already accustomed to a privileged existence and will not be aware of the extent of their family's wealth through inheritance.
