Daniel Craig Is The Highest Paid Movie Star On Variety List

Thanks to an epic deal with Netflix worth $100 Million for the Knives Out sequel, Daniel Craig has taken the highest-paid actor spot on the Variety List.

The Rock moves to the second spot and Will Smith and Denzel Washington are tied for third place.

On the actress list, Jennifer Lawrence and Julie Roberts tied for first please with $25 million each-far less than the men I’d like to point out.

Daniel Craig is now flooded with cash, so what’s he going to do with it?  You’d think he’d leave some at the very least to his kids.

Not the case.  Craig says that inheritance is “distasteful” and says his millions will not be left to his two kids.

The James Bond stars told Candis magazine “My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go.”
