Despite the fact that she has been successful in her role, she said, “I’m lucky because my dad taught me to be frugal and save.

Though Sarah Michelle Gellar is earning millions, she once mentioned, “I go to the supermarket probably every day because we like to eat fresh, organic, and local. We shop at Whole Foods, but we ask which fish is on sale. And I clip coupons all the time.

Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry once explained, “I am very thankful for my good fortune, but one of my biggest fears is that I could lose it all.

In a report back in 2013, Jennifer Lawrence mentioned, “I was raised to have value for money, to have respect for money, even though you have a lot of it. That’s why mini-bars are difficult because it’s like yes, I can afford a $6 Snickers bar, but there’s just something wrong with that. I still drive the same car I’ve been driving for a long time, and I haven’t bought a house yet.”

It's OK to be rich (assuming you earned it legaly). It's OK to splurge. It's OK to do whatever you want with your money, just don't pretend you are a normal person like the rest of us
