Tyra Banks

Former supermodel Tyra Banks declared that she always preferred saving money to spending it. She even credited her mother for teaching her how to be more savvy with her finances and introducing her to a money manager when she was only 19.

In the end, her accountants recommended spending money on at least a bunch of ridiculous and unnecessary stuff, otherwise, her money would go straight to the IRS. “Now, in hindsight, I should have bought art and things that are appreciated,” she explained. She recalls getting private planes and regretting this decision.

Dave Grohl

The Foo Fighters are probably one of the most popular bands in the world. However, frontman Dave Grohl hasn’t really picked up the spending habits of other well-known rock stars. He even told the Guardian that when he was 12 years old, he saw his mother suffering from a stroke while she was doing the family’s taxes.

He recalls how much of a mark the event left on him, and ever since them, he got the feeling that money might kill you. After all, people spend their entire lives dying inside only because of money. But now, despite hitting the jackpot with his very popular band, he still lives a frugal life, preferring to put his money in the bank rather than blowing it on Faberge’s eggs.

    Hopefully they all have silver and gold tucked away. If you can’t hold it you may not own it?

    This was a very interesting Review!! Thank You!! I Never knew that about Halle Berry!! That impressed me!! On the other hand, I absolutely knew that about Warren Buffet as I’ve attended many seminars who often spoke of Warren Buffet’s Frugal nature of spending!

    I have to say this, I am so tired of hearing about the medical field finding out a new way to help my pain and maybe get me of pain killers. It sounds great and then here it comes,,,,, the cost of i t$$$$$, unreal. How bout this key me try it for 30 days without spending anything. Don’t give me some BS about money back guarantee because it takes six weeks if you ever get your money back and since being on disability only allow me a certain amount of money I can’t do that. I don’t understand Why is this so-called vitamin can help me so much? It can’t be priced better for those of us who don’t make enough to get by every month. And don’t tell me to put it on a credit card because my credit card get used every month for food and electric and other things until that card no longer has space so save that excuse. So here’s what I should do stay on the painkillers I have which brought my teeth which cause an infection, which makes me not be able to get my knee fixed and let’s not talk about my hips. That’ll be needing fixing soon all because there’s a vitamin that could help me, but you’re too freaking cheap to give it to me, but I’ll keep spending that money on those painkillers to stay alive to only hurt more. Thanks for your time but there Will be no thank you for what you say will help me because you won’t let it help me.
