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.
