From blowing a traveling bag to saving it .
Celebrities have undoubtedly influenced consumerism in America and abroad. Although most Americans are simply struggling to stay afloat, it’s difficult to ignore the flagrant displays of wealth of the rich and famous, who, more often than not, appearcompletely detached from the regular person.
Celebrity wealth has often been a topic of discussion, and so has how they decide to spend their money. We’ve seen starsgo brokeafter livinga life of opulencein the limelight. We’ve also seen many others who fear that outcome and keep their finances in check.
It recently had me thinking about some of the celebrities who are absolutelyobnoxiouswith their purchases, and those who, even with extraordinary wealth, manage to cut coupons and prevent themselves from blowing a bag. Below are 10 celebs who are known to show off their wealth and nine who live life below their means.
1.Kim Kardashiancertainly knows how to blow her cash. Over the years, she’s made someextravagant purchases, whether private planes or gold toilets.
2.According toForbes, Floyd Mayweather made over $1 billion throughout his professional sports career. The way heballs outreflected all of his work in the ring, from an $18 million watch to having a candy shop and a theatre in his mansion.
3.Jay-Z’s life cannot be described as anything but luxe. The billion-dollar net worth has afforded him a life of opulence, including aBasquiat painting, a $200 millionmansionin Los Angeles, and loads of other valuables that only someone of his stature could afford.
4.Perhaps, there’s no one else who flaunts their wealth as grossly as Jeff Bezos. Despite Amazon employeescomplainingabout horrible working conditions — and his stance againstunions— Bezos has no problemshowing outhis $500 million superyacht or Blue Origin, his rocketship company that recently sentKaty Perry,Gayle King, and several other women to space.
