11 famous people who showed that their strength lies in their humility
We often believe that famous people do not know the life of an ordinary person. But among them there are also some who despite their unlimited financial capabilities, prefer humility and deserve respect and admiration.
Bright Side decided to remember 10 famous people who proved that humility is strength.
Coco Chanel
Mademoiselle Coco made life much easier for all the women in the world because she too had to wear huge feathered hats and multi-tiered dresses. She created the famous "little black dress" and made the elements of the men's wardrobe fashionable like: jackets, blouses with ties, hats, umbrellas and cufflinks. With her example she showed how she could look like this type of outfit.
Mark Zuckerberg
The founder of the social network Facebook is quite laconic when it comes to choosing outfits, which is why simple gray T-shirts prevail in his wardrobe. Clothing, he says, is not something you want to spend your time on. And this despite the fact that the income of this young billionaire allows him to buy hundreds of clothes from famous brands every day.
Ingvar Kamprad
The creator of IKEA for years has promoted simplicity in everything: he buys clothes on sale and buys cheap products, he has been using his old Volvo car for about 15 years, he travels only in economy class on airplanes, his house is furnished with objects of his own brand. Therefore he is considered one of the most modest billionaires in the world.
Boris johnson
Former London Mayor and now Britain's Foreign Minister Boris Johnson goes to work not with a large security team but on a plain and simple bicycle. He thinks it is a great replacement for his car and asks people to follow suit.
Jennifer garner
This beautiful Hollywood actress has always been noted for her humility and has never tried to show off her enormous financial capabilities. Instead, she visits regular supermarkets and buys food with her children in a completely ordinary market, just like any other American housewife.
Steve Jobs
Despite his fantastic income, the founding father of the "apple empire" always sought humility in everything, always dressed in the same way: blue jeans, black turtleneck sweater and white tennis shoes, and lived in a little house at 2107 Waverley Street which certainly doesn't look like any mansion or palace.
Tyra banks
This famous "American Top Model" ignores upscale restaurants and trendy establishments. She thinks inexpensive places like The Cheesecake Factory are just what you need: you can eat delicious without paying a lot of money.
Russell crowe
One of America's most sought-after actors turned down life in a luxurious Los Angeles mansion and moved to live with her family in Australia. Crow bought a ranch and a simple jeep. Now instead of expensive cars and branded clothing, he is surrounded by horses and vast fields.
Hayden Christensen
World fame reached this actor in his youth, so by his 35 years he is tired of living a superstar life. He recently moved with his family to his homeland, Canada, and bought a farm there. Now Hayden has his own crops, a chicken coop and stables. Plow the land with a tractor and collect a large-scale harvest.
Arnold schwarzenegger
Schwarzenegger is a world-class celebrity, but by no means is he presumptuous. In 2004, while vacationing at a spa, he saved a drowning man. The surfer's leg fell asleep, and the actor carried him 100 meters to shore. He never mentioned this situation to journalists and did not use it for commercial purposes.
Keanu reeves
The kindness and humble lifestyle of this actor have long become a motive for memes on the net. He always spends his fees on charity work or gives gifts to others, wears simple clothes and travels in the New York subway surprising the public more every day.
