It’s good to be James Bond. You can travel the world, see the most exotic places, wear the nicest clothes, garner the attention of the most beautiful women, and drive the nicest cars. So what if once in a while you have to undergo a little torture, it’s all part of the job. That’s exactly the credo that James Bond actor Daniel Craig lives by. Despite the fact that he’s come out a little dinged from filming Bond movies, he wouldn’t have it any other way. Not willing to let that kind of devotion go unnoticed, Aston Martin came up with an interesting proposition for the actor back in 2017: They offered him a free pass to drive any Aston Martin model any time he wanted for the rest of his life. But wait, that’s not all. Not only would he get free cars for the rest of his life, he would also get to test their limits on the race track whenever he wanted. What did Craig think about the offer? “I could drive it faster and more furiously on the track than anywhere on the road. I live in London and it doesn’t make any sense to drive an Aston Martin there. I’ve nowhere to park it.” Needless to say, he declined the car maker's offer. That’s when you know you have more money than you know what to do with…….say in the neighborhood of $160 million.
