He says:
“I have made more money out of gold than all the great train robbers put together,”

Michael Caine and his retirement
He had said that he may retire soon. In 2009, there was a buzz that Michael Caine might retire. But at that time he had said:
“You don’t retire in this business, the business retires you.”
In March this year, he told in an interview that his retirement is near since he finds it difficult to cope with the early start and long shifts of showbiz.
He is now 88 and has worked for over six decades in this field. Caine does not want to leave but also is aware that it will happen soon.
He said:
“They haven’t retired me just yet. I feel it’s coming. “I’m 85 this week and getting up at 6.30am and learning six pages of dialogue… well, it’s not my idea of paradise.”
He said that he never turned down any roles but regretted doing some roles.
