In the eyes of people who are not rich, wealth is associated with big mansions, luxury cars and other 'symbols' of wealthy people. But this is obviously not true. Well, at least not with all famous people - these celebrities live frugally and simply.
Halle Berry
"I'm grateful for the happiness I have in my life, but one of my biggest fears is losing everything," Halle said. Like any other housewife, she also buys groceries herself. One of Hollywood's highest-paid black actresses uses public transportation and thinks it's perfectly normal.
Matthew McConaughey
It's hard to believe that the Oscar winner lived in a trailer even after earning millions from roles in romantic comedies. He said the trailer epitomizes minimalism, which is a great antidote to the stress that comes with living in big houses.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica's outfits in real life are nothing like the ones she wore as Carrie on Sex and the City. Sarah opts for simple and comfortable clothes, and she also believes that children should also be brought up in modesty. "My son only wears second-hand clothes because he has so many older cousins. And my mother also saved all my brother's clothes. I don't believe I ever bought him anything. Maybe a winter jacket. But I buy him shoes, because each of us has a different foot."
Keanu Reeves
But one of the most popular players in the world really doesn't care about money. He donated 85 percent of his earnings from The Matrix to the special effects and costume design team. "Money is the last thing on my mind. I can live on what I have already earned for the next few centuries." He is often seen on public transport, shopping for clothes at sales, and preferring to go to a park rather than a fancy restaurant.
Julia Roberts
"I never had enough dresses to be a lady," said Julia. One of Hollywood's most successful actresses dresses simply, grows naturally grown vegetables in her garden and knits clothes for her children. In an interview, she revealed that her favorite shampoo is the one from the hotel.
Jose Mujica
The former Uruguayan president refused residence and preferred to move to a farm where he and his wife grow flowers for sale. He donates 90 percent of his salary (he receives around 12,000 euros) to charities. "They call me 'the poorest president', but I don't feel poor. The poor are those who work only so that they can live an extravagant life and always want more and more.”
JK Rowling
In 2012, the writer's fortune amounted to more than one billion euros, and later she donated a large part of her fortune to charitable organizations. "My life is pretty normal, ordinary, some would say boring, but I like it that way," says JK Rowling. In her private life, she uses her husband's surname, wears simple clothes and tries to separate fame from everyday routine.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is synonymous with extravagance, but only on stage. In real life, she dresses in normal clothes, which she also buys at sales. "Why do people give me such weird looks when I use a coupon at the grocery store or when I try to haggle for a discount?" she wrote on Twitter.
