19 Famous People’s Spending Habits That Will Make You Question Everything About Your Own Bank Account

We frequently imagine the wealthy and famous spending their money on fast cars, designer clothes, and private aircraft, and occasionally they do. But not all celebrity spending habits are what you’d expect. Some celebrities are shockingly thrifty, while others spend extravagantly. Here are 19 famous people whose money habits might just make you rethink your own.

1. Warren Buffett continues to reside in a modest residence. Despite being worth over $100 billion, Buffett still lives in the same Omaha house he bought in 1958 for $31,500. How about standing up to lifestyle inflation? 2. (Silently) Keanu Reeves Gives Millions to Charity The famously humble actor reportedly gave away most of his Matrix earnings — around $75 million — to the crew working on the films. He's not in it for the money.

3. Rihanna was almost broke when she was young. Before becoming a billionaire mogul, Rihanna nearly went broke in 2009 due to poor financial advice and overspending. Lesson learned: she now runs a hugely successful business empire.
