Hearing the phrase "Hollywood actor", people immediately imagine a beautiful life: presentable housing, high-end cars, expensive clothes and shoes. We present to your attention the rating of the most frugal Hollywood actors.
10. Sarah Michelle Gellar
The famous Hollywood actress from childhood got used to a modest lifestyle. Now she is married to Freddy Prince Jr., and for two with her husband they have a very good income. According to unofficial data, their condition is estimated at 15 million dollars. But you rarely meet a star couple in expensive restaurants or other entertainment venues. They live very secretively, do not attend social events. Free time is spent in the family circle, and also participate in charity events. Sarah does not spare money for this, because her mother taught her to help people. By the way, the family did not live very richly, apparently the actress was never able to get used to a wealthy life. She admits that she does not shun things from sales and still uses discount coupons.
9. Rob Lowe
The star of the 80s was not always careful about money. When he was much younger, he spent them left and right, he liked to take a walk and drink. He even arranged competitions with Charlie Sheen, who will spend more for the evening. But that all changed when Rob got married. His chosen one was Cheryl Brekoff. Soon they had children, and Lowe became an exemplary husband and a good father. He began to relate to money differently. Now he wanted the money not to be wasted, but invested in a really worthwhile business. He buys books with pleasure, helps those in need.
8. Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer is a famous and highly paid actress. She has many awards, she is full of fans. But fame and money could not change the modest girl that she was before. The girl lives in a small apartment, drives a supported car. Of course, at social events, she looks expensive and pathos, but this is just an illusion. So the rules require, and the actress does not violate them. In life, she prefers a simple style in clothes, which she often acquires at discounts. She doesn’t even buy products in expensive supermarkets, but in public chain stores.
7. Sarah Jessica Parker
The “Sex and the City” star is often credited not only with frugality, but also with a manic craving for a freebie and an obsessive desire to save on everything. Friends say that many things and clothes - details from the filming, she is trying to pick up for herself. The actress's house is quite budgetary, she does not fly on trips, does not go to social events. But do not mock the actress. Her similar behavior can be explained by her difficult childhood. When Sarah was small, her family of 8 people lived very poorly. The only source of income was unemployment benefits.
6. Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe has long been working, not for money, but for his own pleasure. He appreciates the roles that are offered to him very meticulously. Hollywood still can not forgive him for refusing to participate in The Lord of the Rings. The actor was offered a big fee, but he did not give up. Russell prefers a solitary lifestyle. He lives in Australia on a ranch. His transport also leaves much to be desired - this is an old jeep. Sometimes Russell does attend social events, but even there he takes the time to give the impression of a rich man, and he does not always look perfect.
5. Hilary Swank
When the actress received her first Academy Award, she celebrated her jogging tour of America. Quite strange behavior for a celebrity, but her acquaintances were not at all surprised. Swan's childhood was very difficult. Her family was never considered rich, and the girl knew the price of each cent. Even harder she had when she arrived in Los Angeles. She was only 15 years old, and she dreamed of an acting career. The girl was supported by her mother, they had to live in a trailer park. There was not even money to rent an apartment. Now the actress lives economically, like an ordinary average person. She considers her family her main wealth.
4. Keira Knightley
The Hollywood star leads a rather ascetic lifestyle. Knightley can afford a lot, but not in her rules to let money go down the drain. A girl from each fee allocates a certain amount to herself every month and tries not to exceed it. Keira Knightley explains his parsimony by the fact that if you just start swimming in luxury, all the people who cannot afford it will disappear. The actress does not want to stand out among relatives and friends with luxurious things and manners of a millionaire.
3. Leonardo DiCaprio
Perhaps Leonardo DiCaprio enjoyed the luxurious life of the characters he played, and therefore he lives very economically. The actor receives large fees, but does not buy expensive status items. Leo spends all his money on environmental protection. He often says that this is the only thing he does not mind the money for. His most expensive purchase is his own island. But he did not acquire it at all for entertainment, but also for the benefit of the environment. On it, he plans to preserve rare species of animals and plants. The actor does not use charter flights, he prefers to fly with ordinary people.
2. Kristen Bell
Having played the role of Veronica Mars, Kristen received such a reward that she could radically change her life. But the actress did not spend the millions received, but she still lived very economically and even can be said fisted. The actress surprises colleagues and journalists with her antics. She is able to put on a cheap dress at a social event, chase shopping malls at a bargain price, buy clothes and shoes at sales. Sometimes it seems that Kristen goes too far. However, the girl is not afraid to admit that she and her husband are “thrifty village guys,” they are used to this lifestyle and are not going to change it.
1. Christian Bale
Christian, like DiCaprio, is the exact opposite of his movie heroes. The actor chooses the life of a simple person. For a long time, his habitat was a one-room apartment. He does not have an expensive car, yacht or bodyguard. But Christian does not pursue financial well-being and does not grab all the roles in a row. He chooses only those that he likes. Bale does not disdain charity, he helps sick children, and not only financially. There is a known case when an actor visited a little boy dressed as Batman. So he fulfilled a childhood dream. Christian openly declares that money means nothing to him.
Now you know that many celebrities know the value of money. They do not spend their fees on pathos and luxury, but on making the world a better place. Someone helps sick children, someone corrects the environmental situation. If there were more such stars, the world would have long been different.
