It's human nature to assume that those who are well-known and well-respected are not just affluent but also living extravagant lives. You don't have to worry about what they'll do at the events they're invited to or how many vacations they'll take. Make sure to look at their collection of high-end vehicles, yachts, jet jets, and luxury real estate from across the world.
As a result, every high-profile bankruptcy ring linked with a high-profile person is provocative and problematic. There are a few celebrities that can't stretch their money too far. You'll be surprised by some of these.
Carrie Underwood
Throughout her career, Carrie Underwood has won seven Grammy Awards and racked up sales of more than 60 million albums. Despite her fame and wealth, Underwood maintains her down-to-earth demeanour. During an interview with Rachel Ray, she explained how she still manages her monthly budget, clip coupons, buy groceries, and prepare her meals every day. Also, she's going to Subway for lunch, which will be her significant food expenditure.
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran is one of the most well-known and successful musicians today. Even though he has a net worth of $200 million, he lives on a $1,000-a-month budget. However, now that he's married and a new dad to a beautiful baby girl, we're unsure about that figure. While he has been known to stay in Courteney Cox's spare room in the past, he spent a lot of money on cab journeys in 2014. Please don't be too harsh on him; he has a valid reason for being so thrifty. An Irish Examiner interview with him revealed that to avoid blowing his student loan funds entirely, he had to pay a monthly fixed allocation into his Barclays account. So, yes, that's the reason behind it.
Ashley Greene
Readers and fans of the Twilight saga were somewhat aback when they discovered in Marie Claire's November 2012 edition that actress Ashley Greene continues to fly economy despite her fame. A first-class ticket isn't only worth the additional money, she argues. She learns to be thrifty and stores the extra cash for rainy days instead. Those attributes are attributed to Green's family, who instilled a sense of significance in her work.
Warren Buffett
Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett were previously ranked as the richest man on Earth, and he remains one of the wealthiest men in the world today. Nevertheless, he continues to live on a shoestring budget despite his considerable financial success and extended tenure in the business world. With his billions, you might expect him to be living in some luxurious palace, but this business mogul still lives in the $31,500 house that was his first purchase in 1958, reports the New York Times. Because of that, he hasn't moved in over a year, and he may never again. Celebrities aren't the only ones who don't spend all of their money on parties and other luxuries every night of the week. Some take advantage of their platform to help others, while others spend their profits on expanding their net worth, and some live everyday life like everyone else. There is always something to be learned from these people, especially from this group.
Jay Leno
For more than 30 years, Jay Leno has been one of the most popular late-night talk show hosts, with a chin that refuses to stop. At the time of this writing, his estimated net worth is $350 million. Like numerous other candidates, Leno learned the value of saving money early in life by apparently working two jobs: one to pay bills and cover daily expenses and the other to accumulate savings. Since leaving The Tonight Show, Leno has lived solely on the earnings from his profitable stand-up career, which is probably a lot simpler now that he has all that extra money. Leno allegedly deposited all of his Tonight Show paychecks into savings accounts throughout his tenure. Despite his apparent fondness for old vehicles, the comedian has supposedly "never spent a dollar" of his late-night show money.
Sarah Jessica Parker
A Sex and the City character who managed to live in a $700 a month NYC apartment while spending lavishly on expensive shoes and drinks will always be known as Carrie by those familiar with the show. According to The Richest, there is an estimated $90 million in her bank account, so she could if she wanted to buy a new pair of Louboutins every week. "Older nephews" and the fact that she did not need to buy anything new for Parker since her mother had stored her brother's childhood apparel meant she did not need to buy anything new for her kid.
Sarah Michelle Gellar (Actress)
Sarah Michelle Gellar, the actress, best known for her role as Buffy in the hit TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is another well-known celebrity who credits her parents with teaching her to be economical. Even though a single mother raised her after her father abandoned the family when she was a youngster, actress Sarah Michelle Gellar isn't afraid to use coupons and shop around for the best deals. She told Self magazine that when she's not busy protecting the world from invading vampires — or being a mother to her two children — she routinely utilises coupons and only buys fish at Whole Foods when it's on sale, as she revealed the magazine. "I'm a big fan of couponing. What's the point of spending more when someone else can get it for less? "she boasted.
Tyra Banks
"Smizing" founder, supermodel, Harvard MBA degree, and self-styled multi-hyphenate business magnate is brutal to the image as a simple-living, average person. Tyra Banks learnt a lot about money management from her mother, who accompanied her on her modelling trips and aided her in her early days as a model. An interview with the New York Times in 2008 revealed that she was "frugal" by her admission. Even as a child, Banks acknowledged stashing away a small portion of her monthly allowance and told that her only genuine pleasures these days are food (particularly, trips to The Cheesecake Factory) and high-end products (she's been known to stockpile costly hotel soap). For a lady with a net worth of an estimated $90 million, Banks acknowledged to Forbes that she frequently consults with her accountant about whether she can afford a specific purchase.
Dave Grohl
He's in Foo Fighters and Foo Fighters, two of the biggest rock bands ever, yet Dave Grohl still lives like a jobbing musician. Grohl is still wary about spending too much money, too quickly, even though he's earned a cool $225 million from his time with Nirvana and the Foo Fighters. Grohl admitted in a 2003 interview (via Business Insider) that he is "afraid to spend money" despite possessing a large nest egg. By not graduating from high school, the multi-instrumentalist and enormously successful rock star are afraid of being broke. Because Grohl has a family to care for, he is wary of his great riches because he does not have a safety net (three kids to date). If the Foos continue to sell out venues worldwide, his career will not slow down any time soon.
Zooey Deschanel
Actress Zooey Deschanel, who appeared in the popular TV program New Girl, hasn't succumbed to the pressures of fame and fortune. Although Deschanel has been earning $125,000 every episode, she hasn't been showy. A cautious, diligent spender with her sights firmly set on protecting her future was disclosed to the media after her divorce from Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard in 2012. It was revealed in the financial report that even though the performer was taking in approximately $100,000 per month, her expenses were just $22,500 (about 25 percent of her monthly income), which included less than $1,000 in electricity bills and another two thousand in charity donations. In addition, roughly half of her total assets were safely housed in bank accounts, with the remainder spread out in stocks, bonds, and real estate. It's not terrible for a person who could easily afford to max out all three of her credit cards every month without feeling the slightest pressure.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo is well-known for being one of Hollywood's most outspoken and visible philanthropists, but his good deeds begin at home. By owning a Tesla, DiCaprio acknowledged that money is only significant to him because it provides him more choice in choosing the projects he truly cares about as an actor, rather than allowing him to make extravagant expenditures. Instead of accumulating worthless material possessions, the Oscar-winning actor is more concerned with leaving a legacy that helps those less fortunate and influences the environment. the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation donated over $3 million in 2013 and distributed "$15 million in grants to environmental groups throughout the world" Why would he want a more flashy automobile now that those landmarks are behind him?
Jennifer Lawrence
Actress J-Law, who has won an Oscar for her part in Silver Linings Playbook, is one of the most well-known and well-paid performers. She has also spearheaded the highly successful Hunger Games trilogy. According to reports, a $130 million-a-year actress, Jennifer Lawrence, has every right to spend her money as she sees appropriate. She admits that her life hasn't altered much since her sudden rise to fame. At the time, she explained to Fabulous magazine that she was brought up to cherish and respect money even if you had much of it. Lawrence doesn't have a personal assistant either, so she does all of her shopping and constantly looks for the best deals. The actor drives a Chevy Volt instead of a showy automobile. Maybe she's taking a cue from Leonardo DiCaprio.
Paul McCartney
He's one of the Fab Four. How is it possible for a Beatle to be thrifty? What's worse? Well, Stella McCartney claims that her famous father Paul is a "tight b*****d" since he insisted on enrolling her in a public school rather than the private one might anticipate for the kid of a celebrity, much alone a member of one of pop music's biggest bands. Since McCartney is rumored to be a millionaire, reports that he was cheap at a celebration for his ex-wife Heather Mills (most notably by Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour) are more arduous. It's his money, and he's spent most of his life working for it, so he's entitled.
Kristen Bell
In the years before Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Frozen, she starred in Veronica Mars. To top it off, she's married to punk rock heartthrob Dax Shepard and has two children. The stardom of Kristen Bell hasn't changed her spending habits, like that of her economical co-stars SJP and Sarah Michelle Gellar. As Bell herself put it, their wedding cost $142 even though the couple had a lot of money. According to the most recent available data, they are currently valued at over $32 million. Flaunt magazine even jokingly referred to her and Shepard as "hillbillies at heart." According to Bell, in an interview with Conan O'Brien, Bed Bath and Beyond had the finest coupon "probably in the world," who was amused by her frugality. So there you have it. Unlike in the show, Bell is a real-life expert detective.
Shia LaBeouf
Even though actor Shia LaBeouf often appears in public dressed like a hobo, it's easiest to image him living frugally rather than lavishly, as he's regularly seen out and about looking like a hobo (or whatever it is super-rich celebs do). Even though he appeared in the multibillion-dollar Transformers franchise, none of Shia LaBeouf's co-stars has been seen holding a paper bag on the red carpet. "In poverty," LaBeouf said in an interview with Parade magazine, he learned to be thankful and modest since he grew up around hungry artists. The actor cites this time in his life as a source of inspiration for his work. The fact that he's been working since he was a ten-year-old has also helped him develop a strong work ethic. In the same interview, he also blasted his "tame" age for idolizing greedy figures like Gordon Gekko. So maybe his persona in American Honey wasn't as far-fetched as first thought after all?
