Despite their high net worths, several celebrities like Daniel Craig, Simon Cowell and others don't plan to leave their children any kind of inheritance at all.

AceShowbiz - Daniel Craig first declared he won't be leaving his fortune to his children back in March 2020. The "No Time to Die" actor later doubled down on his claim in August 2021, calling inheritances "distasteful."
"Isn't there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you've failed?" the James Bond depicter said to Candis magazine. "I think Andrew Carnegie [an American industrialist] 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!"
"But I don't want to leave great sums to the next generation. I think inheritance is quite distasteful," he further explained, "My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go."
