1. Keanu Reeves.
Of course, our list had to start with Keanu, since he is one of the favorite actors of all time. With a fortune of approximately $ 360 million, Reeves need not worry about money. In fact, he even gave away 85% of his earnings from the series "The Matrix" to the costume, special effects and design team.
"Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already done in the next centuries," said the actor in an interview.
In addition to being a very laid-back person with his money, he has also been seen leading a particularly "ordinary" life. Wearing clothes bought in the discount section, riding public transport and even eating in parks instead of fancy restaurants.
2. Mark Zuckerberg.
The founder of the social media giant, he has a fortune of nearly $ 72 billion, according to Forbes magazine. However, despite being one of the richest men on the planet, the creator of Facebook prefers to lead a simple life.
In fact, Zuckerberg prefers to drive an Acura because it is a safe and inconspicuous car.
He also prefers to work wearing the same gray t-shirt and sweatshirt that he wears every day. Even his wedding was pretty straightforward and on his honeymoon he was seen eating at McDonald's in Italy.
3. Sarah Jessica Parker.
The "Sex and the City" star has a fortune of 95 million dollars, but despite having money to spare, he has preferred to educate his children with a culture of savings, living in a modest neighborhood and even avoiding the luxuries unnecessary, like private jets or fancy restaurants.
Not being enough, the actress has also stated that she prefers to wash her own clothes, since spending on laundries seems an insult to low-income people.
Surely many of us must learn from it.
4. José Mujica.
For those who do not know him, Mujica is the former president of Uruguay. During his tenure, he was considered one of the poorest and humblest presidents in the world, with an estimated capital of 1.8 million dollars.
Despite having held a position of power, he preferred to lead an extremely humble life.
Currently, he lives in a rural area in Montevideo, hanging his clothes outdoors. Not being enough, he also donates 90% of his earnings to charity, as he claims to be happy with the life he leads.
5. Jennifer Lawrence.
Jennifer has managed to become one of the most influential actresses of recent times. In fact, her charisma, beauty and talent have allowed her to become the highest paid actress in Hollywood, with an estimated fortune of $ 110 million.
However, she prefers to have a life away from unnecessary luxuries. In fact, she drives a simple Volkswagen and lives in a modest apartment.
"I always feel so lucky that I really don't have time to act like a diva. I was raised to value and have respect for money," the actress once declared.
6. Amancio Ortega.
The founder of the popular clothing brand "Zara" has a net worth of 75 billion dollars, entering the list of the richest men in the world. Yet despite his fortune, Ortega and his wife lead fairly low-key lives in La Coruña, Spain.
In fact, Amancio has been seen working as just another employee of his company, wearing a uniform with a blue jacket, white flannel and gray pants.
He even has breakfast and lunch with his employees. Not being enough, he also prefers to drive a car not so luxurious: an Audi A8, something unspectacular for one of the richest men on the planet.
7. Sergei Brin.
The creator and president of Google Inc, who has a substantial fortune of 46 billion dollars, being one of the richest men in the United States, also leads a fairly simple and humble life.
Brin lives in a modest 3-bedroom apartment and drives a hybrid-powered Prius.
8. Warren Buffett.
Despite having a substantial fortune of $ 77 billion and owning 60 companies, this tycoon leads a humble and generous life. He lives in the same house he bought in 1958 and often buys used cars.
When it comes to eating on the street, he prefers to frequent fast food restaurants, such as McDonald's.
And he takes advantage of his free time to spend with his family. Isn't that surprising?
9. Matthew McConaughey.
The popular actor and Oscar winner used to live in a motor home, even after making his first million from his great rom-coms.
According to the same actor, he prefers to lead a minimalist life, since having a large house requires a lot of attention and effort.
Currently, he has a fortune of 95 million dollars, but that has not made the actor change his principles, so he likes to live simply.
