Hello to everyone on YouTube. Hope you're having a wonderful day today.
Welcome back to the Film Insight channel for yet another amazing video.
Money has to be one of the biggest things out there that is capable of completely
changing someone's personality. Once you get it you either take it for granted
and live comfortably ignoring the problems around you or maybe even use it
to influence others actions. You always hear about the rich spending thousands
on one item, which is often more than most who aren't well off spend in a year.
But to some millionaires they had to adopt frugal or cheap habits to get to
that first million, which soon changed when they made multiple more.
While it may be expected for these types of people to spend big with their excess of money,
it might be just more sustainable to be conscious of what they buy, especially
when poverty in a capitalist society can be rough, it could come off as selfish or
careless to spend extravagantly while people struggle. So to bring us into the
topic of today's video we are going to discuss a couple of celebrities out
there who try their best to live humbly or like they're poor. But before we get
into the video be sure if at any point that you enjoy to leave a massive like
down below and subscribe let's get into this guys!
Keanu Reeves
For a man with a 360 million dollar net worth like Keanu Reeves you'd expect
someone of his status to live his life lavishly. He was featured in a cult
classic called The Matrix which had three installments and a coming 4th one.
Even more recently he played as John Wick and had a leading role in an
amazing video game called Cyberpunk 2077. With all this influence and money it's
hard for it not to go to your head but not for Reeves who has to be one of the most
humble celebs to date. Growing up into a rough lifestyle constantly moving around
with his mother and not having a father figure, since his was in prison for drug
distribution, Reeves turns away from most of the trappings of being rich and
famous. Preferring to lead a grounded life there is a lot of proof out there
to show how little he cares about having money. From taking public transit, eating
alone on a park bench away from his movie set, giving a cut of his movie paid
to other workers on his film or even living in a modest home Reeves could
care less about money.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
"You don't want me to go to the concert, is that it?"
"I didn't know if you like music."
The pair who made their break on TV with her role as a couple with issues
Michael Kelso and Jackie Burkhardt from that 70s show went on to do big things.
Mila Kunis developed into a very world-renowned actress playing in movies
like Black Swan or Forgetting Sarah Marshall, even getting a role as Meg on
Family Guy. She has a net worth of over 70 million and her husband Ashton was
also featured in many big films and shows including having a business which
gives him a net worth of 200 million. Collectively they have a net worth
closer to 300 million meaning they are more than well off and can afford
practically anything that comes their way. It'd be more than expected for the
couple in love to spend big on their wedding, their home and their children
but it's surprisingly the opposite. For their wedding they bought platinum rings
from Etsy that cost them only $200 total which is way under the usual price for
one ring. They also intend to raise their children
as if they were poor in order to show them the value of money and that it
shouldn't be taken for granted, especially when they grew up
from poor backgrounds themselves
Julia Roberts
An American sweetheart known as Julia Roberts
was featured in basically over 50 films throughout her career that were
hits like Pretty woman or Closer. Being a well-known superstar in Hollywood
Roberts makes anything from 10 to 20 million per film that she acts in.
Her total net worth is closer to 250 million especially with her consistent acting
for several decades you'd think she lived big. Well you'd have to revise
that thought when you hear about her spending habits. She prefers to browse
through second-hand shops for clothes or household items and consistently brings
her own bag when going to grocery stores. Whether or not this is for the
environment, it's still something to give her props for.
Ingvar Kamprad
Ingvar Kamprad is someone who is a bit more under the radar despite the business
that he owns. Being the founder of Ikea, a home furnishing business that is in
multiple countries across the world, it goes without saying that this man is
filthy rich. With a net worth of over 50 billion, Kamprad has to be one of the
most frugal billionaires out there, so much so that it wouldn't be
surprised to see him on extreme cheapskates. Firstly he doesn't like
wearing anything else other than secondhand clothing, admittedly
purchasing all his clothes from a flea market or a thrift store to cut costs.
He's mentioned often getting his haircuts in developing countries because
not only is it something he can do, he just prefers it because it's cheaper.
Lastly using strictly public transit while on his way to accept an award for
his achievements in business Kamprad was almost not led into of the event because
the bouncer didn't think he was a guest. How funny. Halle Berry
Halle Berry
At one point the multi-million dollar actress was a top paid one in Hollywood
with a total net worth of over 90 million. Despite her fortune after being
featured in films like 007, Berry credits her frugal tendencies to
her childhood where her family had to be more financially conscious. After her
mother left her father for being abusive she was raised exclusively by her which
showed her how hard life can get with a lack of money. When she grew up she
became a model in the 80s and moved to New York where she began her acting
career. During this time she spent several weeks living at a homeless
shelter before she got her first gig which pushed the idea even further to
save on everything to avoid a situation like that happen again.
