Sarah Jessica Parker
As it turns out, Sarah Jessica Parker leads her life completely the opposite way her character from “Sex and the City” does. In reality, she’s not a Blahnik-crazed fashionista like Bradshaw. In fact, she’s not the type to blow $945 on a pair of pumps.
It’s just not her style. She even explained that’s just how she was brought up, and that she wants to keep the tradition with her own children. She even recalled how 100% of her son’s T-shirts are used, and that he enjoys buying his items at thrift shops. Her daughter wears hand-me-downs, and that they are very comfortable with the idea of passing down clothes in their family for three generations.
Zooey Deschanel
Actor Zooey Deschanel doesn’t like the idea of living a lavish life, and she even has the legal documents to prove it. During her 2012 divorce from musician Ben Gibbard, the court papers became available to the public.
They also included all her financial details, which listed an average monthly income of $95,000 and assets going far beyond $3 million, which also include cash, stocks, and bonds. Her spending incorporates only 25% of her income, and her credit cards have zero balance. Assuming Deschanel kept exercising with great restraint, we commend her on living well with her means.
