Contrary to popular belief, the famous does not mean the rich, and the rich does not mean wasteful. Many believe that politicians and Hollywood stars literally scatter money right and left, buying up luxury villas, sorting out luxury cars and collecting unique jewelry.
Indeed, many characters who have “broken through” to large fees begin to spend them thoughtlessly, not thinking about old age, nor about heirs, and even less about charity. However, this does not mean that there are no celebrities left in the world with a lean and economical character who can and can save, denying themselves excesses.
Today we’ll talk about 10 rich stars who have substantial sums in their accounts, but who only manage the necessary minimum for a normal stay.
10. Jennifer Lopez
The tabloids only manage to catch the diva in dresses or jewelry for millions of dollars. Journalists are not tired of discussing the whims and riders of the pop singer, losing sight of some details. Of course, in order to collect huge stadiums of spectators, Lopez must have catchy shiny outfits that are different each time.
But at the same time, the woman allowed herself to somehow flaunt on the red carpet in a dress bought for $ 26. By the way, this is not an isolated case when a star preferred a democratic brand. At the same time, Jay Law's fortune, according to Forbes preliminary estimates, is more than $ 30 million.
9. Julia Roberts
Recently, the actress has been interested in spiritual enlightenment, so she pays little attention to material wealth and especially luxury items.
The Hollywood beauty does not consider it necessary to strengthen her femininity with the help of expensive cosmetics or fashionable outfits. On the contrary, Julia can be found in comfortable, simple clothes. For her children, the star knits outfits independently in between filming.
Roberts also prefers organic healthy food, so he does not hesitate to grow it in his own garden. Roberts washes hair with shampoos from hotels. But really, why throw away what is included in the room rate?
8. Tori Spelling
Once the star of the 90s was pacing in a luxurious house and collecting expensive outfits. But a couple of years ago, Tori sold the property, moving with her family to a bungalow. Near him, she set up a large garden where she gladly grows fruits and vegetables.
The remoteness from dirty and smoky cities allows the actress to calmly raise five children. Tori also holds unusual pets - a pig and a chicken. Here is such a love for mother nature, it’s not for you to beg your husband’s pants.
7. Matthew McConaughey
Despite the external gloss in Hollywood films, Met knows firsthand what saving is. Before his acting career, the guy lived quietly in a trailer for himself, and even after the appearance of seven-digit fees, he did not change housing.
According to the actor, minimalism in life helps to deal with excess vanity and stress, save time. That's right, large estates and expensive cars, in fact, are vampires who draw energy and attention to their maintenance.
6. Halle Berry
The bright actress experienced many shocks during her life, so she learned that happiness is not in money. Berry is thinking about the future and the period when he will become less in demand. That is why she started saving now - she is often met in supermarkets, as an average housewife.
Halle loves to go shopping with her children, not disdaining travel on public transport. And this despite the fact that while the decline in Berry's career is not expected, and fees are measured in hundreds of thousands.
5. Lady Gaga
And how in our review could a girl get ready to order the most expensive dresses, including steaks, for designers? However, the “outrageous”, “glamor” and “luxury” of the pop diva shows on stage as part of her popular image.
In ordinary life, Gaga wears democratic clothes and is even ready to wait for discounts at the store. At the same time, the star complains that sellers take her for a madman when she presents coupons or tries to bargain. Gaga loves a delicious meal, so often she prepares herself complex side dishes: pizza, ravioli, steaks, etc.
4. Kate Middleton
Probably one of the first persons of royal blood, who does not consider it necessary to change several outfits a day and buy only from famous fashion designers and designers.
Being an ordinary woman before, the duchess is used to wearing democratic casual clothes. Imagine, Kate even managed to wear the same outfits at social events, which in royal circles is simply unacceptable. Interestingly, this approach does not repel the cold and restrained English, but rather increases the rating of the girl among the people.
3. Sarah Jessica Parker
The actress is invited to various film and television projects, where she acts as a stylist or fashionista who knows the taste in expensive luxurious clothes. In life, however, Miss Parker was not used to stand out, preferring the practicality of sophistication.
Sarah brings up respect for things and the ability to manage money efficiently in her children. For example, the son of an actress without hesitation carries quality clothes for her cousins. The starry and wealthy mother buys him mainly outerwear and shoes just because everyone has different sizes.
2. Joan Rowling
The Queen of Potteriana lived a difficult life and was once below the poverty line. Therefore, even when her account exceeded $ 1 billion, most were distributed to charitable organizations.
Rowling prefers a quiet and inconspicuous life, she comfortably creates alone, rarely, rarely attending social events. In ordinary life, Joan dresses modestly and does not support the image of a sought-after and successful business woman.
1. Keanu Reeves
One of Hollywood's most famous ascetics, Keanu long ago realized that money does not have any real life value. Reeves gave about 85% of the fees for the Matrix to other project workers (costumes, cameramen, make-up artists). According to the actor, the earned money will be enough for him for several centuries.
Keanu can often be found in the most ordinary plain clothes on the streets of the city. He travels by public transport, buys clothes at sales, prefers conversations on benches with ordinary people to social events.
Honor and praise to celebrities who have not lost their humanity and understand the important postulate of life: "Money is not happiness." Probably only by accumulating huge amounts, you can devalue the value of money and start living a full emotional life.
