Although Britney is one of the most famous divas of her generation when not on stage, she attempts to live a low-key life. She shops at normal, everyday stores like Target and Walmart. She is known for buying everything from cosmetics to toys to everyday items.
The surprising part is that she does this all on her own, even though she could certainly afford to have someone do it for her. She would rather brave the throngs of adoring fans and shop like an everyday person. And of course, she usually grabs a Starbucks coffee on her way out.
J.K. Rowling
The scribe who brought us the Harry Potter series, J.K., Rowling is worth over $1 billion. When she initially wrote the book, she never thought it would bring her to where she is today. It wasn’t so long until she realized that she had no need for all that money, and started donating to charitable organizations and causes.
She even says that “Many parts of my life are perfectly ordinary, one could even call it, but that’s what I like about it.” She dons normal clothes, is frugal with money, and uses her husband’s name in her private life.
Vincent Kartheiser
During his tenure on the immensely popular show Mad Men, the talented actor Vincent Kartheiser chose to reside in a modest one-bedroom apartment, despite his subsequent meteoric rise to fame. However, as his career flourished, he decided to enhance his living space by embarking on a series of renovations. Demonstrating his practical nature, he saw an opportunity to capitalize on his investment when the time came to sell the property.
Buying the apartment in 2014 for $457,000, he strategically navigated the real estate market and ultimately sold it for a commendable $808,000. This astute move showcases both his financial acumen and the rewards of his hard-earned success.
Matthew McConaughey
McConaughey is known for his laid-back, Texas accent, and is one of the biggest stars on the screen. His down-to-earth ethos is clear when he was living in an Airstream trailer near the beach so he could catch the best waves whenever they presented themselves.
He spoke of the Airstream, “ It’s two seconds from making your bed to putting your coffee on the stove.” Of course, once he got married--shattering the hearts of adoring fans everywhere--and had kids, he moved from his trailer to his real house to raise his family.
Clint Eastwood
From his movies, including Dirty Harry and Gran Torino, you could swear that Clint Eastwood would have a couple of garages worth of some great cars, but this is not the case. Although he has made hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of his career, he prefers to drive around in his ancient GMC Typhoon.
This limited edition SUV was made for one year in the early 90s and looks similar to a GMC Jimmy SUV. The little car has some giddy-up and Eastwood does have other faster cars. The Typhoon only costs $20,000, though.
